Celebrate Marine Protected Areas Day by enjoying classical music with a view of the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve! The ODFW Marine Reserves team will provide some opening remarks at the Redfish Music Festival’s August 1st performance (more details available here). We will also be tabling with resources and information about Oregon’s marine reserves.

About the Redfish Music Festival

Founded in 2021, the Redfish Music Festival is named after the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve located off the south Oregon coast between Rocky Point and Coal Point, just south of the town of Port Orford. This site is Oregon’s only marine reserve located south of Cape Blanco. Cape Blanco is a known biogeographic break — where the north-south extent of some species begin or end — within the California Current System. The Redfish Rocks Reserve is a one-of-a-kind, and that describes our music festival very well. It is precious and worth protecting and preserving.
