What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Cascade Head West Marine Protected Area (Oregon).
A narrow offshore strip (about 5 km long and 650 m wide) lying immediately seaward of the Cascade Head Marine Reserve, Lincoln County. OAR 635-012-0130(1) prohibits the "Take of any fish species" inside it and section (2) allows only salmon trolling and crabbing, so a speargun may not be used. Together with the reserve inshore of it, the closure runs from the shoreline out to 124°5' W.
