Hope you enjoyed the 2024 SOTC in Seaside. See you next year in Coos Bay.

Welcome to the State of the Coast!

State of the Coast is a chance to have fun and learn while listening to informative talks on current marine science and policy issues, participate in hands-on activities, and network with research, industry, and community leaders. This is Oregon’s coastal conference for everyone!
