Vision Statement
Establish a dynamic working partnership between fishermen, scientists
and managers that will strengthen west coast salmon fisheries by
improving management practices and economic opportunities through better
understanding of stock specific ocean distribution and migration
patterns of Chinook.

The science of ProjectCROOS begins with the expertise of our fishermen partners: the Oregon salmon fishermen who support the project as a way to recover salmon stocks. The salmon trollers who have joined the project are given equipment for gathering data, which they use as they fish for a living.

The Problem

The Collaborative Research on Oregon Ocean Salmon project (ProjectCROOS) was approved in June 2006 by the Oregon Legislature Emergency Board. $585,000 was granted to the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Program, who directed the funds to the Oregon Salmon Commission for ProjectCROOS, a unique industry-university research effort to identify salmon stocks in the ocean.
