CAPE PERPETUA
COLLABORATIVE
What We Do
Cape Perpetua exemplifies the land-sea connection—a unique place where the forest and ocean meet to produce productive coastal rainforests and rich ocean upwellings that fuel the local food web.
The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and Marine Reserve is located in the central coastal region of Oregon, just south of Yachats.
The collaborative works together with other local organizations in coordinating conservation efforts for the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve and Scenic Area. We strive to make locals and visitors alike aware of, appreciate, and understand the natural and cultural values of this vital coastal region, in hope that the ripple effects extend outwards in support and care for the land and sea for generations to come.
Mission
We strive to cultivate collaboration across communities, disciplines, and generations to inspire care, understanding, and action in alignment with the ecosystems and cultures of Cape Perpetua,
from the land to the sea.
