Wyden on Helo at Newport
Oregon U.S. Senator Ron Wyden was on the Central Coast Thursday. The Democrat toured the hangar facility for the U.S. Coast Guard at the Newport Municipal Airport. Last Fall, the USCG relocated the helicopter back to North Bend without warning. There were rumors that ICE wanted the facility at the Airport, but that was never confirmed. Last November, the Newport Fisherman’s Wives and Lincoln Co. sued the DHS over the relocation, and a federal judge issued a temporary order keeping the helo at Newport. That was later extended by the Coast Guard. Wyden promised to continue to be a Watchdog to ensure the rescue helicopter remains in Newport.

Meet the marten: Oregon State research provides updated look at rare, adorable carnivore
By Steve Lundeberg, OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University researchers have painted a clearer picture of the coastal marten, a secretive, ferret-sized forest carnivore renowned for its cuteness but nearly driven to extinction by human activity in the 20th century. Scientists from OSU’s Institute for Natural Resources led a three-month project that used non-invasive survey tools – hair snares and remote cameras – to collect marten population and habitat data in a 150-square-mile area east of the northern California town of Klamath in 2022. Genetic analysis of the hair identified 46 different martens, 28 males and 18 females. Martens were found throughout the study area and were most numerous at high elevations along forested ridgetops with consistent winter snowpack, and at lower elevations in ravines and riparian areas in coastal forests. The findings are important for informing conservation and land management decisions that affect the coastal marten, a member of the weasel family also known as the Humboldt marten. The species is listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act, and the small populations of martens that remain – in northern California and southern Oregon – are at risk from rodenticides, vehicles, disease and habitat loss. “Coastal martens like forests with old-growth characteristics and those types of forests are being threatened by the effects of climate change, including more frequent and severe wildfire, and certain forest management practices,” said OSU wildlife ecologist Sean Matthews. “Beyond that, there’s a lot we don’t know about this species, including information as basic as what forests do coastal martens still occupy, how many martens are there, and are these populations increasing.” Coastal martens, which Matthews describes as “among the most adorable animals that call our Pacific Northwest forests home,” once ranged from northern Oregon to northern California. Their population and range shrunk dramatically during the previous century as trapping – they were valued for their fur – and logging pushed them to the brink of vanishing. In fact, they had been considered extinct before a small population was found in the coastal woods of northern California in 1996 by a U.S. Forest Service biologist. The study led by OSU, which featured multiple partner organizations including Cal Poly Humboldt and the University of Wisconsin Madison, took place on ancestral lands of the Yurok and Karuk Tribes, at elevations ranging from 100 feet to 4,600 feet, on parcels currently managed by the U.S. Forest Service, the Yurok and the Green Diamond Resource Company. The Yurok Tribe owns one-third of the study area, land that had been owned and managed for commercial timber production by Green Diamond until 2019. The Tribe manages the land for multiple uses, including plant and wildlife habitat restoration, conservation of cultural resources and some timber harvesting. Green Diamond still owns and manages about one-fifth of the study area, and the Forest Service manages its portion of the area for habitat and watershed restoration, recreation, timber harvesting and cattle grazing. The scientists gathered their marten data via 285 hair snares, fashioned from PVC pipe, and 135 cameras. “Martens tend to select forest stands with greater than 50% canopy cover and lots of large-diameter trees, snags and hollow logs,” said OSU faculty research assistant Erika Anderson, who led the study under Matthews’ direction. “Structural complexity with coarse woody debris helps them hunt and also provides cover from predators and competitors. But despite continued conservation concern over the last 30 years, we have a lot to learn about marten distribution and demography and how forest conditions influence their distribution and density.” Also participating in the research were scientists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Yurok Tribe, Green Diamond, Six Rivers National Forest, the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, and the National Genomics Center for Wildlife and Fish Conservation. Partner organizations funded the project with support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Volgenau Foundation. Findings were published in Global Ecology and Conservation.

Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month
OR State Fire Marshal release - SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon State Fire Marshal joins fire departments statewide and national partners in observing January as Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognize the elevated risk of occupational cancer among firefighters and recommit to prevention, education, and support for those affected. Firefighter occupational cancer is one of the leading causes of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service. The Oregon State Fire Marshal and national partners, including the International Association of Fire Fighters and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, highlight this risk and provide resources throughout January to raise awareness, share best practices, and support survivors. “Every firefighter deserves a safe work environment and a long, healthy life after service,” said State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple. “This is why we created the Oregon Fire Service Health and Safety Collaborative. Prioritizing the health and safety of our firefighters both supports them and strengthens our ability to protect our communities.” Focus on Prevention and Health: The Oregon Fire Service Health & Safety Collaborative continues to advance initiatives that help reduce cancer risk for firefighters and first responders across Oregon. Through this collaborative, the Oregon State Fire Marshal provides: Cancer risk reduction resources: Tools and guidance tailored for fire service members on minimizing exposure to carcinogens encountered during emergency operations. Education on best practices: Including decontamination procedures, protective equipment care, and exposure mitigation strategies. Support for health and wellness: Resources related to physical and behavioral health to support firefighters throughout their careers. “Our collaborative bridges local fire agencies, health professionals, and firefighters to share strategies that make a real difference in daily operations,” Ruiz-Temple said. “Focusing on firefighter cancer in January amplifies that work and gives us an opportunity to bring every local fire agency along in adopting lifesaving practices.” Supporting the Firefighter Community: Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month offers weekly themes, educational tools, and actionable steps for fire departments to enhance cancer prevention efforts. National partners provide: Safety stand-downs, fact sheets, and training briefs; Survivor stories and prevention strategies focused on exposure reduction; Outreach efforts to strengthen legislative and health support for firefighters; Get Involved: Firefighters, departments, families, and communities are encouraged to participate in awareness activities throughout January and beyond.

Marine Board’s Quadrennial Fuel Use Survey Mailed by OSU
OR State Marine Board release - Since 1985, the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB) has been required by statute (ORS 319.415) to conduct a fuel use survey every four years of a randomized sample of motorized boat owners, statewide. This statistical survey is conducted by Oregon State University (OSU) and asks boat owners about their fuel consumption from January 1 through December 31, 2025. Approximately 12,000 surveys were mailed statewide in the second week of January 2026. The survey aims to quantify the dollars that have already been paid by motorized boaters at the fuel pump or marine fueling station for boating activities in 2025. Data collection will occur now through March, and all survey responses are anonymous. The data will then be analyzed, and a draft report will be prepared with preliminary results. Then, OSU submits a final report to OSMB by the end of June. In July, the Marine Board will follow established processes to calculate motorboat registration numbers with fuel consumption, which are forwarded to ODOT and the Department of Administrative Services. Once approved, fuel tax dollars are transferred back to OSMB and become part of the operating budget for the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium. The amount the agency receives back is dependent upon the survey responses and the number of registered motorboats in 2025. Motorized boat owners who receive the survey are strongly encouraged to complete it. Every response is used to determine the calculated amount coming back to the Marine Board. Revenue is then returned to boaters for services including marine law enforcement, boating facility access grants, education, and many other programs.
