"Fishing communities such as Port Orford, nestled on the western side of the Cascade Range, have a story line that's familiar to any Western rancher, farmer or logger. Declining resources, global markets and corporatization plague small family fishing operations. In the last 15 years, the number of Oregon boats fishing for salmon has declined by 82 percent." (HIGH COUNTRY NEWS) This article presents the Portland Orford Ocean Resource Team's "novel effort...to unite a diverse group of government officials, environmentalists and members of the often-splintered fishing industry, and bring the fish--and the backbone of their community--back from the brink."
