The following list of Oregon Coast 101 Species<\/em><\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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