Over the past 20 years, logging and fishing activity has declined. The Northwest Forest Plan and the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds have created opportunities to restore forest and watershed health and create quality local jobs. Although forest and watershed restoration will not replace all lost forestry and fisheries jobs, it offers new natural resource-based employment and local work for South Coast businesses. However, little is known about the restoration industry and the economic benefits it produces.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USForest restorationWatershed restorationEconomic developmentCurry County (Or.)Coos County (Or.)Other
