Most of these publications were prepared by Oregon Sea Grant under funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Sea Grant College Program, U.S. Department of Commerce, and by appropriations made by the Oregon State legislature. The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendation are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of these funders.
Most documents are presented in two versions: .pdf files, suitable for printing, and text-only HTML files, which are faster to download and more accessible to those using alternative browsers. To view the .pdf files, you need the free Adobe Acrobat reader, which you may download here. Adobe also offers a variety of Web-based conversion tools to permit those using screen readers to read .pdf files.
