he primary focus for the officers and their families of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hasn’t changed as the Pacific research fleet enters its third year based in Newport, but its involvement in the Lincoln County community continues to strengthen.
Photo by Dennis Anstine
By all accounts, it will take many more years before NOAA’s scientific, economic and communal contributions to Lincoln County and Oregon reach their high-water mark, but early returns indicate the relationship has the promise of growing into a healthy, positive bond. Most importantly, the community has welcomed the federal agency and its 20-year commitment with open arms, and the newcomers from Seattle, the East Coast and elsewhere are adjusting to the central coast’s blustery weather and lifestyle just fine, thank you. “All over it has been a positive move for most people,” said Tracey Brennan, co-president of NOAA Officer’s Family Association (NOFA), a support group for the agency’s families. She and her husband, NOAA Ship Rainier Capt. Richard Brennan, and their two sons moved here from Norfolk, Virginia. “There’s always an adjustment when you relocate,” she said, “but overall we love the raw beauty of the coast – it’s very majestic. We appreciate the quality of life here, that it’s more relaxed with not as much tension and hassle. There is a different lifestyle here
than in Seattle, for example, but most are enjoying the change.” Brennan said as NOFA and others volunteer at schools and events, “it has been very positive with the community accepting us and enjoying us being here. The more we have become involved, the more we appreciate this community.” Capt. Wade Blake, commanding officer of NOAA’s Marine Operations Center-Pacific (MOC-P), cautions that any involvement in the community needs to be secondary to the NOAA’s fisheries, hydrographic, ecosystem and ecosystem survey projects. But it is a responsibility he and others take seriously. “First of all,” he said recently, “we’re very pleased with this facility (40,852 square feet of office and warehouse space and a 1,300-footlong pier, all leased from the port) and grateful to the city for its support, which we appreciate. We see it as the beginning of a great relationship.” NOAA, its officers and their families have begun to become more involved in the community through outreach by doing more volunteering. For its part, Capt. Blake said, the base has gotten involved in a variety of community events and has held guided tours to more than 3,000 visitors to the base and its ships during the last two years. Blake said he meets with city and county officials often to let them know what’s going on on the base “so they can let other groups know what we do and how we fit into the community,” he said. “We’ve been getting more involved as a group but a lot of our community involvement is self-generated Photo by Dennis Anstine
from a group like NOFA or officers on a ship,” he said. “As a group, some helped clean up a park in Toledo and helped put flags out on the highway during holidays. When things like that pop up we will get involved.” For example, when St. Baldrick’s Foundation for childhood cancer research held one of its headshaving fundraisers this past May in Newport, Piper Berkowitz, the 9-year-old daughter of Capt. Eric Berkowitz, who is director of marine operations at the local base, shaved her head along with other family members. Piper and her team, which included NOFA members, raised more than $6,000 as Newport and NOAA supporters became involved, which included three crew members of the Rainier shaving their heads while docked at Petersburg, Alaska. NOFA has been Photo by Dennis Anstine involved in several other community events, including the Newport Food Pantry’s “snacks packs” programs for children, Christmas and holiday events, and a silent auction. NOFA is also sponsoring a photo contest for its employees, especially those who are traveling aboard ships in the Pacific Ocean, which will provide the photographs for a 2014 calendar. As with its other events, a portion of the proceeds will go to local charities and groups, Tracey Brennan said. “We’re now canvassing local businesses and we hope to have all photographs submitted by Sept. 15 with the goal of having the calendars ready to be sold in October,” she said. “We hope the proceeds will help fund some of our local events, too.”
Business as usual
Community involvement will likely become increasingly important for NOAA because its impact on small, isolated Newport and Lincoln County promises to be immense during the next 18 years or longer. At this point, however, Capt. Blake and other NOAA Corps officers remain focused on their mission, which is to have “our ships continue doing what they are designed to do.” That involves about 110 crew members and about 55 office and warehouse employees at the base to support the vessels’ sea-going missions. The ships include: -Bell M. Shimada and Oscar Dyson, both fishery survey vessels that primarily work the waters of the West Coast, including off Alaska’s Aleutian and Kodiak islands. They survey for the density of population of a variety of fish, including sardines and hake off the mainland and pollock, salmon and cod in Alaska waters. NOAA also does a killer whale survey along the coast during the summer months, “which is important because they have a significant impact to the salmon population,” Black said. The results of all the surveys assist the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in keeping its management programs up to date. -The Rainier and Fairweather do hydrographic surveys mostly in Alaska and the Arctic Ocean, updating and creating new nautical charts of the ocean’s floor. Blake said many charts are too old to
be useful, and other areas have no mapping at all. Overall, eight vessels are under Blake’s command, down one recently with the decommissioning of the Miller Freeman, which will be replaced by a new vessel called the Rueben Lasker. There are three ships stationed in Hawaii and a fourth, the McArthur II, is currently undergoing maintenance in a Seattle shipyard. While there is more to grow since NOAA moved from Seattle to Newport, federal funding for its missions has decreased during the last year as the government has been forced to “sequester” its spending in a variety of ways. “Nothing has really changed as far as our missions are concerned,” said Blake, “but we have had to adjust what we do with our funding. The cost of diesel fuel, for example, has doubled from $2 to $4 in the last few years. Our operating costs have gone up, so we’ve had to cut back on our days at sea.” While there has been an operating reduction, he said, there has been no cutting back on personnel because the vessels need to be maintained and Photo by Dennis Anstine properly manned when they do their missions. The NOAA Corps consists of only commissioned officers, but its “civilian masters” and wage marine employees work for hourly wages and are represented by unions.The fleet, Blake said, consists of five different personnel systems between ship and shore, “so it can get confusing.”
NOAA’s silver lining
The promise of jobs and contracts with local vendors was an important part of the attraction for

the local and regional economy after a 2010 survey was done by the Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County (ecdev@orcoast.com or 541-9613837). The report estimated that NOAA’s presence could mean a $32 million annual influx – equivalent to 800 fulltime jobs in the county – after 10 years. Even without factoring in the value of attracting additional marine science research, the impact estimates about $20 million annually in the local economy. While the amount of money that NOAA will circulate through the local economy is real, it’s unlikely that NOAA will ever be an important employer of local residents because its jobs are listed nationwide, it hires the most qualified candidates and rarely advertises locally. Blake said he recalls NOAA hiring only two people living here. The report also placed the NOAA budget for products and service at $8 million per year ($2 million per boat), though Caroline Bauman, the alliance’s executive director, cautioned that the local economy would capture only about half of that at the outset as companies take time to adapt to serve the need of the fleet. For his part, Blake has given several talks at local economic development meetings about the ins and outs of smaller local companies doing business with the government. Bauman said that during the last three years more than 200 separate businesses have been represented at such training workshops and that there are more than 90 Lincoln County companies on the eligibility list for government contracts, which includes jobs with Oregon State Parks and the U.S. Forest Service.
She said Blake’s seminars have been invaluable and have often been attended by statewide employment and economic development officials, “which has helped people from all over the state learn more about NOAA. That’s also good for our tourism.” The bid process, Blake said, can be especially difficult. He said NOAA buys a lot of goods from local vendors, including contracting with Carson Oil Co. for its diesel fuel, but the bidding process get competitive when the contract is in excess of $25,000. “We are focused now not to just construction trade contracts,” said Bauman. “We’re seeking more service providers such as Lazerquick and Lincoln Glass, small companies that are able to access NOAA with business for less than $25,000.” The goal is to have companies in all five categories doing business with NOAA, including those that offer highly skilled marine trades service work, such as a ”large bilge pump repair service, for example,” she said. Bauman, who expects to finish a Photo by: Jo Wienert research analysis soon on what it takes to do business with the government, said the county isn’t making as much money from NOAA and the Hatfield Marine Research Center as it can, but there has been growth. “We knew it would take time because of the bid process,” she said, “but with more local companies working with NOAA our bids will become more competitive. During the next three to five years we should have bigger contracts than the smaller ones we’re getting now.”

OREGON ALBACORE COMMISSION The Oregon Albacore Commission (OAC) is an industry-funded state commodity commission under the umbrella of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, which appoints the nine members of the commission, five harvesters, three processors, and one public member. The OAC is funded exclusively from an assessment on the cash value on all albacore landed in Oregon, split equally between the harvester and the “first receiver.” The OAC’s primary activities include marketing and promotion, information dissemination, consumer education and research. The Commission exhibits at major seafood and food industry trade shows under the Seafood OREGON umbrella with the state’s three other seafood commodity commissions. The OAC produces marketing materials, furnishes supplier contacts and works to enhance the use and consumption of “troll caught” Albacore.
THE FISHERY
Members of our Oregon Albacore fishing community feel personally accountable for the wholesomeness of the fish, the long-term sustainability of the fishery, and the health of our oceans. Local Oregon fishermen deliver the very best albacore, whether fresh, fresh-frozen or micro-canned in small batches. The Oregon fleet is made up of independent family fishermen who have chosen albacore fishing as a lifestyle and care about good food and good fishing. An Oregon Albacore fisherman is a rugged spirit driven by the adventure, ready for the fast and furious action when the albacore start to bite and are proud to bring one of Oregon’s food treasures to your table. The fast, powerful Oregon Albacore – silver flanked with long slender lateral fins – are hand-caught, one at a time, and handled with care all through the process. The boats tow lures called “jigs” from fishing lines attached to outriggers, that are extended on either side of the boat. Tuna is also caught on individual poles held by fishermen using bait. Once an albacore bites, the fisherman lands it by hand, removes the barbless hook, and transfers it to ice for the fresh market or to an on-board freezer. In both cases the fish is preserved in as fresh a
OREGON ALBACORE
state as possible. This type of fishing, sometimes called trolling, hook and line, or pole-caught, produces the very best quality, and eliminates inadvertent catch of other types of fish (called by-catch).
Wild Oregon Albacore is remarkable – not only is it delicious and easy to cook, but it delivers so many important nutritional benefits, most notably very high levels of Omega-3s. Oregon Albacore is ideal for the cook because of the many forms to choose from. During the season (usually June through October), you can buy fresh albacore right from the fishermen on the dock. At the market, you’ll find Oregon Albacore that is fresh or frozen at sea, meaning frozen when the fish was in pristine condition, only moments out of the ocean. Or you can enjoy the flavor and convenience of canned or pouched albacore prepared in small batches and cooked just once, which seals in all the flavorful juices and nutrients, including the valuable Omega-3s. So whether you buy fresh, fresh-frozen or canned, Oregon Albacore delivers a great value and is a delicious and convenient source of protein with a moist texture and rich flavor.
