NEWPORT, Ore. (KTVZ) – A new way to explore Oregon’s near-shore ocean trends is getting interest from around the globe.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife s Marine Program scientists are often at the cutting edge of marine science, and the new
Data Dashboard is no exception. Developed by Marine Reserves Program staff, the dashboard is an easy-to-use website where users can navigate through monitoring data collected over the past 10 years.
The dashboard focuses on ecological data collected by core research tools: scuba diving, hook and line, longline, video lander, and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) surveys within the Marine Reserves and comparison areas. These surveys collect data on fish, habitat, invertebrates, and macroalgae.

JUNEAU, Alaska The Seattle-based Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star (WAGB 10) arrived in Juneau, Friday, for a logistics stop as the crew nears the end of their months-long Arctic deployment conducting scientific research and protecting the nation’s maritime sovereignty and security throughout the polar region.
In addition to Polar Star’s strategic national security objectives, the nation’s sole heavy icebreaker sailed north with scientists and researchers aboard to work in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), University of Washington, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) to gather data and lessen the void of information from the region and better understand how to operate year-round i
