Oregon Dungeness Crab
Helping out never tasted so good.
Brand Oregon is producing an Oregon seafood promotion as part of economic recovery efforts for the coastal regions affected by the December storm.
Need: The Oregon coast was hit hard by the December storm. The economies of the affected regions were hurt and economic recovery efforts by the state have been multi-faceted, quick and effective.

With images of the flooding and destruction still fresh in people's minds, it's important for all to know that the seafood supply is bountiful and safe.
The Oregon coast is open for business. Choosing Oregon seafood is just one thing Oregonians can do to spurn economic recovery in the region. Find out everything the state and the region is doing to help by clicking here.
