The following list of Oregon Coast 101 Species is used as part of the Guide and Outfitter Recognized Professional (GORP) training program. This collection of animal and plant blogs were especially selected to represent a variety of interesting coastal region wildlife.

The individual links below lead to an Interpretive Fact Sheet for each species. We are currently in the process of converting the articles and establishing the links. We hope to be operational this fall.
