MEMBERSHIP

The first chapter of CCA Oregon was established in the spring of 2007. Since that time CCA Oregon has 10 local chapters covering key areas in the State. In addition to the ever increasing membership, CCA Oregon has also retained a well respected lobbyist in Salem, a regional fisheries director, and an Oregon Executive director, all working toward conservation and preservation of the Pacific Northwest’s marine resources.

Who is
CCA Oregon?

Since
2007

Through a partnership of eighteen other state chapters in the United States, CCA Oregon has a lobbyist and general counsel in Washington DC working on our behalf. OREGON is an advocacy group for salmon, steelhead, and our other Northwest fish. Our job is to give voice to this precious resource that cannot defend itself against destruction.

Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization comprised of 17 coastal state chapters spanning the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. CCA’s strength is drawn from the tens of thousands of recreational fresh and saltwater anglers who make up its membership. From South Texas to the upper reaches of Maine, CCA’s grassroots influence is felt through state capitals, U.S. Congress and, most importantly, in the conservation and restoration of our coastal marine resources.

COASTAL CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION

CCA Oregon

Working on the behalf of Oregon Salmon, Steelhead & other NW Fish.

CCA has been active in virtually every national fisheries debate since 1984 and has participated productively in state and federal fisheries management issues for longer than two decades. CCA continues to operate as a three-tiered organization, affecting issues on the local, state and national levels.

CCA’s unmatched breadth and depth of volunteer involvement has made it the largest marine conservation group of its kind. Its grassroots network and unique combination of membership, fundraising and advocacy have enacted positive change on all levels of coastal marine conservation and management. When called into action, the impact of CCA’s grassroots machine is unparalleled.

Through broad-based recreational angler support, a strong legal and legislative presence, more than 30 years of experience and an unwavering vision for the future of U.S. and global marine resources, CCA will continue to battle for the health and longevity of our coastal fisheries and for recreational anglers’ interests in them.

REASONS TO JOIN CCA

CCA Oregon

Advocacy

CCA Oregon uses its influence to affect change at the state capital, at the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and at various regional and federal agencies. CCA Oregon employs one of the capital’s most effective lobbyists as well as our regional fisheries director, both people critical in our success.

Habitat

The importance of healthy habitat for salmonids remains one of our top priorities which we demonstrate by helping to fund much needed habitat improvement projects throughout the state.

The Model

Using the time-proven CCA model of “member driven” issues is executed by our volunteers and professional staff which has shown to work both nationally and regionally. Our 10 local chapters help identify issues affecting fisheries in their local area.

Hatcheries

That 70% of all salmon and steelhead caught in Oregon are hatchery fish, it is with renewed emphasis that CCA Oregon continues to work with federal and state agencies to ensure that Oregon hatcheries are properly funded with the intent of providing more opportunities to the sport anglers in Oregon.
