What makes Oregon a Great Place for Sustainable Seafood Production?

California Current Ecosystem

California Current Ecosystem

We are blessed to be situated in the world-renowned California Current Ecosystem. Thanks to a natural phenomenon of upwelling, this marine region is characterized by the superior marine productivity, which supports a diversity of sustainable fisheries and a healthy marine environment.  

Pristine Marine Environment

​The Oregon coastal region has largely remained rural, resulting in little pressure from human activities to the coastal and marine environments. This pristine marine region is a perfect place to produce healthy sustainable seafood.
