red fish rocks


Excuse the nerdery:

Port Orford, in southern Oregon, is home to one of Oregon's initial marine reserve sites known by the name of Red Fish Rocks. There is magic in it's tale, as it's a model for this process wherein fisherman and conservationists worked together, from the beginning, to manage the land in the best interest of the community. Truly! It's not a one sided story in either realm.

Port Orford is dramatic and serene with it's calm waters, ever-grey skies and crazy amounts of birds. The coastline is so jagged that there is no pier: boats are cranked in and out of the water with a pulley. Just like them old days.

To support the work of the marine reserves team, they (the Port Orford Action Resource Team) are holding a photography contest! Which ones (up to 3) shall I enter?
