What makes Oregon a Great Place for Sustainable Seafood Production?
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.
