Oregon Public Broadcasting has been posting podcasts of community interviews through their "Our Town" programming. I happened to catch the Port of Port Orford program at lunch today.
The Port of Port Orford is one the most unique ports on the entire west coast. They land about as much commercial fish as Garibaldi, but they don't have a marina. Their entire fleet is lifted out of the water and stored on their wharf when they're not fishing. Very unique set up.
Unfortunately, they need constant dredging as it becomes more and more difficult for those fishing vessels to belly up to the wharf in order to get hauled out. They are not unique and I think the OPB broadcast does a good job of shining a light on that specific problem.
