Fisheries Technician 1 - Central Coast Sampling
#25-1170
 Newport, Oregon, United States

Closing Date
Oct 12, 2025


Position/Project Specifics: The Ocean Recreational Fishery Survey (ORFS) Project collects marine recreational fisheries data along the Oregon coast to support management, monitoring, and assessment of Oregon's important non-salmonid species targeted by marine recreational anglers. The project consists of three full-time year-round samplers, with one each stationed on the north, central and south coast, working with an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) project coordinator stationed in Newport, Oregon. Day-to-day activities are directed by ODFW through the project coordinator and an agency liaison.

Specific activities fall into three broad categories of fisheries sampling and monitoring: 1) At-sea observation aboard charter fishing vessels conducting regular fishing trips, to collect location-specific data on catch rates, discard rates, and size of discarded fish; 2) dockside sampling of angler catches for length and age structures such as otoliths (rockfish) and fin rays (lingcod); and 3) winter dockside creel surveys and video review of marine recreational fishing effort and catch in major ports.

This announcement is for the Central Coast Position which is stationed at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife office in Newport, Oregon and is responsible for sampling in Newport and Depoe Bay, primarily in the port of Newport. The incumbent is expected to work independently and without close supervision to efficiently achieve sampling goals. Duties include substantial amounts of data collection and entry, video review, processing of biological samples, and use of electronic data collection technology. Interacting with the fishing public, maintaining positive relationships with charter operators and offices, and demonstrated sea worthiness are required.  Occasional participation in other projects may be included.
