ORS 196.550 Funding
The State Department of Fish and Wildlife may accept only gifts, grants or contributions from any source for deposit in the State Wildlife Fund established in ORS 496.300 that are consistent with the department’s work plan specified in
ORS 196.545.
Any designation of marine reserves in Oregon’s territorial sea must include commitments by relevant state agencies to pursue long-term funding necessary to enforce prohibitions, support necessary research and monitoring and provide for public education.
If funding cannot be secured to meet the enforcement and research-based monitoring needs associated with the goals specified in ORS 196.545 (2)(e), agencies responsible for managing the marine reserves shall make recommendations to the State Fish and Wildlife Commission and the Legislative Assembly and initiate actions to scale down or suspend fisheries prohibitions in the marine reserves.
