The Oregon State Marine Board welcomes you to share your thoughts on the Cycle 1 Facility Grant applications. We invite you to visit our website to view the exciting projects our Board will vote on in June.


Have you read through the Opportunities & Access Report and ever wondered where these boating sites are located? Lucky for you, OSMB maintains a number of helpful maps where you can look up sites, report and view obstructions, find life jacket loaner stations, view our grant history, and MORE! Follow the link:  Oregon State Marine Board : Maps & Apps : Boating Facilities : State of Oregon


While many boaters get out on the water year-round in Oregon, the traditional kick-off to the boating season is in May. As you prep for your warm weather boating season, keep your bathroom needs in mind. There are free pumpouts, dump stations, and floating restrooms around the state. Find one near your favorite boating spot at boat.oregon.gov and be sure to download the free Pumpout Nav app (bit.ly/PumpoutNavApp)!
