The Marine Board has a long-standing tradition of serving Oregon Boaters. The agency is a resource for local governments, non-profits, and private entities that provide services to recreational boaters. The agency was established in 1959 and has led recreational boating through significant changes to boating and natural resource policies over the last sixty years. As the agency looks at the next decade of continued service, it must continue to adapt to climate and technological changes that impact boaters.
Mission:
Serving Oregon's recreational boating public through education, enforcement, access, and environmental stewardship for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Vision:
Boaters benefit as the Marine Board navigates change and growth of waterway use.
