West Coast
Ocean Science Priorities

Phase II of the West Coast Ocean Science Action Agenda includes compiling West Coast and California Current ocean science priorities that have been published in documents, strategic plans, and other formats. The information on this page of the website is in draft form and is a work in progress. We continue to add priorities as documents are incorporated. If you have suggestions for a document that contains West Coast ocean science priorities that should be included in this analysis, please email oost@oregonoceanscience.com and provide the reference and/or the actual copy of the document.

​

Note: Priorities from Tribal sovereign nations will be incorporated as we convene with Tribes beginning in 2027.

Note: This compilation is focused on ocean science priorities. Outreach and policy priorities articulated in the documents listed below are not included in this analysis.
