Cape Falcon Marine Reserve

Cape Falcon Marine Reserve in Oregon, United States, is a protected area located between Manzanita and the unincorporated community of Falcon Cove Beach in Tillamook and Clatsop Counties on the northern coast of Oregon.

Cape Falcon Marine Reserve is the second largest in Oregon's system with 12.4 square miles of ocean habitats in the marine reserve and an additional 7.6 square miles in two types of marine protected areas (MPAs).

This includes no harvest of any species (i.e. no fishing, or gathering of kelp or mussels) and no ocean development.

However, safe passage and anchoring of boats are allowed as long as fishing gear are not deployed.

In the West MPA, only salmon fishing by troll, and crabbing, are allowed.
