Developing a Sustainable Oregon Coast http://www.triplepundit.com/2011/02/fractal-frontier/ The southern coast of Oregon is a rare place on earth, where beautiful wild & scenic rivers tumble down through steep canyons, and the tallest and largest carbon-sequestering forests in the world on their way to a rocky coastline with wide stretches of sandy beach, before pouring out into the mighty Pacific ocean. Along the rugged coast are picturesque working ports, made of hillside homes, small waterfront cafes, vibrant art communities, and more parks per mile than anywhere in the USA. The Port Orford Ocean Resource Team (POORT) has a mission to engage Port Orford fishers and other community members in developing and implementing a Port Orford Community Stewardship Area Plan that ensures the long-term sustainability of the Port Orford reef ecosystem and social system dependent on it. The Redfish Rocks area south of Port Orford has been designated a pilot marine reserve and a broader area of some 30 miles in length along the southern Oregon coast forming a unique 1,320-square-mile land and sea stewardship area is to protect terrestrial, freshwater, intertidal and ocean reserves. Located in the stewardship area headwaters along a ridgetop overlooking old growth forest and the marine reserve, Ocean Mountain Ranch is a SLDI carbon-negative project that will provide for long-term yield of high-quality hardwood, softwood, and wildlife habitat while serving as a model organic forestry/grazing operation incorporating residential, agricultural, educational, recreational, and industrial activities to promote sustainable land development best practices on the southern Oregon coast by mixing nature, tradition, and economics for a sustainable future.

Nice wish list, however, what's glaringly absent is the sustainable urban forest of the future... Sustainable Land Development Initiative Building a Sustainable Community Forest http://www.triplepundit.com/2010/10/building-sustainable-community-forest/
