Founded in 2020, Friends of Otter Rock Marine Reserve brought together independent volunteer conservation efforts under one organization, strengthening public engagement and advocacy for the stewardship and protection of Otter Rock Marine Reserve.
Friends of Otter Rock Marine Reserve offers programs and paid internships that invite local community members and students to deepen their understanding and appreciation for fragile coastal ecosystems, the marine life they support, and the area?s geological, colonial, and Indigenous histories.
Our mission is the protection and preservation of rocky shore intertidal life, nesting and migrating sea birds, and marine mammals that inhabit Devil?s Punch Bowl State Natural Area, Otter Rock Marine Gardens, Otter Rock Marine Reserve, and the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
