The goal of this project is to expand access to fishing and shellfishing for Oregonians with physical disabilities by hosting inclusive community events and providing targeted consulting services to state and federal partners. Over two years, OSCI will host eight free, accessible fishing and clamming events across western Oregon, integrating conservation education focused on two species (Steelhead/Rainbow/Redband Trout and Razor clam) and two conservation issues (invasive species and climate change). Through strategic partnerships and focused outreach, the project will strengthen ties between ODFW and disability organizations, ensuring outdoor recreation becomes more inclusive and accessible statewide.
