Seasonal Passenger Influx Helps Overall Numbers at Airport
Airport release - A look at the first six months of passenger traffic at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport continues to show slowing; however, the passenger numbers kept their upward trend through July. Total passenger enplanements and deplanements finished just over 1% ahead of the same 6-month time period in 2025. Growth was driven primarily by continued demand for the airport's seasonal Denver service, which saw an almost 7% increase in the first six months of 2026, while year-round service to San Francisco remained steady with a slight decline. Together, the two routes have helped sustain the airport's multi-year increase in passenger traffic and demonstrate the importance of commercial air service to the South Coast. Passenger activity is expected to remain strong through the remainder of the Denver service, which operates daily through October. That route, along with the San Francisco route, continues to provide year-round access to United Airlines' extensive domestic and international network. "Consistent passenger growth reinforces the value of local air service and the convenience it provides to residents, businesses and visitors," said Executive Director Rodger Craddock. "It also strengthens our efforts as we continue working to expand commercial air service opportunities for the South Coast." Denver service is available through October 24th. San Francisco is year-round. When flying OTH, parking is free, and the lines are short.

Recreational use advisory issued for Cullaby Lake Sept. 17
PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon Health Authority (OHA) issued a recreational use health advisory today for Cullaby Lake due to the presence of a cyanotoxins above recreational use values (RUVs). The lake is in Clatsop County. People should avoid swimming and other water activities with a high risk of swallowing water or inhaling water droplets in areas of the lake where blooms are present. Ingestion or inhalation of water is the exposure route of concern. Toxins are not absorbed through the skin. However, those with skin sensitivities may get a puffy red rash. OHA’s RUVs are designed to protect the most vulnerable, including children, who have a higher activity level and are more likely to swallow water while recreating. OHA encourages people to visit Cullaby Lake and enjoy activities such as camping, hiking, biking, picnicking, bird watching, and motorized or non-motorized boating activities that have a low risk of swallowing or inhaling water droplets.

September 17, 2026 - South of Cape Falcon Recreational Ocean Salmon Action Notice
ODFW release - The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the State of Oregon, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, and fishery representatives met Thursday via conference call and have taken the following in-season management action related to the ocean recreational non-mark-selective coho salmon season from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain: ACTIONS TAKEN: Effective Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 12:01 a.m. through September 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m., for the ocean recreational fishery from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, retention of coho salmon is allowed, with a daily bag limit of two salmon (no fin clip requirement). Beginning Monday, September 21, 2026, the season remains open through September 25, 2026, all salmon, except coho salmon, with a daily bag limit of two salmon. Effective Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 12:01 a.m. through September 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., for the ocean recreational fishery from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, retention of coho salmon is allowed, with a daily bag limit of two salmon (no fin clip requirement). Beginning Sunday, September 27, 2026, the season remains open through October 31, 2026, all salmon, except coho salmon, with a daily bag limit of two salmon. The minimum size for kept Chinook salmon is 24 inches in total length. A follow-up conference call has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 23, 2026, to consider if sufficient quota remains following the Sunday, September 20, opening. Factors that will be considered are adequate quota remaining, predicted effort and weather conditions. RATIONALE: The Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain non-mark-selective (no fin-clip required) coho fishery opened on Tuesday September 1, 2026, with a quota of 25,700 coho salmon and was closed at the end of day on Saturday September 12 when it was forecast that the quota would be met. Estimated total catch for the fishery is 20,939 coho (or 81.5% of the quota), leaving 4,761 coho remaining. Managers agree that there is sufficient quota remaining to open the fishery for coho salmon retention for an additional two days, Sunday September 20, and Saturday, September 26, 2026. On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, fishery managers will review remaining quota after the first fishing day with coho retention, predicted effort for the second day of coho retention (Saturday, 9/26), as well as projected weather conditions to ensure that the quota will not be exceeded. The mid-week review may result in a modification to the current regulations such as canceling the second opener or moving it to another weekday prior to October 1, 2026. For the time periods of Monday, September 21, through Friday, September 25, and again from Sunday, September 27, through October 31, 2026, anglers are reminded that the fishery from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain remains open for all salmon except coho, with a two salmon daily bag limit, and the minimum size limit for Chinook is 24”.

Listening for extinction: Study finds areas of critical concern for northern spotted owls
By Sean Nealon, OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – Northern spotted owl populations are approaching or have already crossed functional extinction across large areas of the Pacific Northwest, a new study found. Researchers used artificial intelligence and advanced monitoring methods to assess long-term trends at an unprecedented scale. While northern spotted owl populations have declined for decades, this study identifies where populations are at or near functional extinction, meaning numbers are so low that they no longer play a meaningful ecological role or cannot reproduce enough to persist. It also provides detailed population data on barred owls, which outcompete northern spotted owls for prey and habitat. “These findings demonstrate that passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning can be used for large-scale ecological monitoring,” said Damon Lesmeister, a wildlife biologist at the U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station and a courtesy faculty member at Oregon State University. “Our hope is that they can help shape conservation strategies and improve conservation outcomes for the northern spotted owl.” Study findings include: Barred owl calls were heard eight times more often compared to spotted owls across the entire study area in Oregon, Washington and northwestern California. Northern spotted owls are approaching functional extinction thresholds in Washington and on the Oregon Coast. Northern spotted owls were not detected in the Washington Cascades at latitudes north of Seattle. The conservation and management of northern spotted owls became one of the largest and most visible wildlife conservation issues in United States history after the species was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1990 because of rapid declines in the owl’s old-forest habitats. Four years later, the Northwest Forest Plan was adopted and reduced the rate of logging of old-growth forests on federal lands. Despite more than 30 years of protection, northern spotted owl populations have continued to decline due to continued habitat loss from logging and wildfire and competition from barred owls, whose range in recent decades has increasingly intersected with spotted owl territory. For the new study, scientists, led by teams at the U.S. Forest Service and Oregon State’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences, divided more than 38,000 square miles of federally managed northern spotted owl habitat in Oregon, Washington and northwestern California into 5-kilometer hexagon sampling units meant to replicate the typical territory of a northern spotted owl. They randomly selected 1,027, or 3%, of those hexagons and deployed four passive acoustic recording devices in each hexagon for a six-to-eight-week period between February and September 2023. The devices collected more than 2.1 million hours of recordings. Using machine learning models the researchers developed, those recordings were analyzed by research computers at Oregon State’s Center for Quantitative Life Sciences. Among the findings from that analysis: Northern spotted owl calls were confirmed in 261 of the 1,027 hexagon sampling areas and barred owl calls were confirmed in 891 of the sampling areas. A total of 34,341 northern spotted owl and 279,439 barred owl clips were recorded, meaning barred owls were heard more than eight times more than northern spotted owls. More northern spotted owls were observed in sampling in the southern portions of the range. Levels ranged from 13% to 17% in Washington and the Oregon coast to 44% in the Oregon and California Klamath Mountains to 91% on the California coast. Barred owls were heard more frequently in northern sampling areas. They were heard in 100% of samples areas in the Oregon Coast, 94% on the Washington Coast and Western Cascades, 72% in Oregon and California Klamath Mountains and 45% at the California Coast. This monitoring has continued since the 2023 period analyzed in this paper and preliminary findings from the additional monitoring mirror those outlined in this paper, Lesmeister said. Lesmeister believes the findings can help focus northern spotted owl conservation strategies to specific geographic areas. The authors cite several conservation strategies, including ongoing barred owl removal efforts, conserving landscape well-suited for northern spotted owl nesting and bringing northern spotted owls into captivity for breeding, a strategy that has been adopted in Canada. “Northern spotted owls are already functionally extinct in large swaths of their range. It's not a thing that's happening in the future, it has happened,” Lesmeister said. “That doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. There is still an opportunity for carefully considered management actions.”
