1. Scientific Consensus and Action Plan for Mapping the Oregon Territorial Seafloor Dawn Wright, Chris Goldfinger, OSU and the Oregon Territorial Sea Task Force Dawn Wright, Chris Goldfinger, OSU and the Oregon Territorial Sea Task Force State Land Board, 12/12/06

2. Importance of Statement and Action Plan An expression of need… to fill a critical gap in data Apolitical … coalition of academic and agency scientists An information tool to consider and use when making decisions for and with the governor Part of governor’s public position on ocean stewardship A suggested process … (communal funding, communal availability)

3. NOAA Coastal Services Center State Territorial Sea, not the Federal EEZ

4. Goldfinger et al., OSU Active Tectonics Lab Isn’t it already mapped? Could you find your way to every town on this map?

11. Applications Tsunami Runup Models - Evacuation Planning Habitat Restoration Shoreline Change Analysis Analyzing Storm Impacts - Coastal Erosion Fisheries Management Commercial Fishing Marine Reserve Design Emergency Response, Impact Assessment Port Security Maps and Visualizations Navigation Products, Services Wave EnergyOil Spill Response, Tracking Coastal tourism, recreationMANY others

12. Why now? Difficult to realistically set up a network of MPAs that addresses all habitat protection issues without further mapping … Take advantage of current momentum … Vessels of opportunity, personnel Consider cost of not doing this … E.g., tsunami damage in $billions Lack of stewardship?

13. Initial Benefits Needed for selection and evaluation of marine protected area or National Marine Sanctuary sites … Better tsunami inundation maps for Oregon … Needed for fisheries resource management … Needed for location of wave energy units … Training for university students, fishing community participation, equipment retained by the State of Oregon for future work …
