	note = {The demand for oysters in the United States exceeds supply, marking the oyster growing as an industry meriting support.  On the west coast, growers must cope with climate change, particularly ocean acidification, as well as regulatory problems and labor shortages. In order to help resource managers help oyster farmers, the authors of this paper went to the growers. In 2022, they conducted detailed interviews with Oregon oyster growers, and their comments abundantly populate this paper. {\textquotedblleft}To expand and enhance United States oyster production, and support domestic food security and livelihoods, a better understanding of the limitations that oyster farmers{\textquoteright} experience, and corresponding pathways forward for adaptation is needed. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with commercial Oregon shellfish farmers, we assess the environmental, economic, social and regulatory stressors impacting oyster growing operations, and the corresponding adaptive strategies employed or envisioned by aquaculture farmers{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). The authors note adaptive strategies oyster growers adopt to cope, and advocate for more targeted outreach to support the oyster growers.},

This report also has research on personal-use fisheries for razor clams, including number and rate of success of clam diggers, as well as calculations on clam wastage. Finally, it has the initial findings of exploratory dives for rock scallop and red abalone off the Oregon Coast.},
