Geocache Description:

Regular Camo'd Lock-n-Lock in the bushes. (or the rocks, it seems to drift around a bit)

The Port of Brookings is the busiest recreational port on the Oregon Coast with more than 31,000 bar crossings and more than 95,000 recreational users in 2002.

The Port has more than 5,000 commercial fishing vessels visit the Port annually.

The Port moves more than 20 million pounds of bait, fuel, ice and fish products across its docks annually.

Because of its location and geographical configuration, the Port of Brookings Harbor is listed as a "Harbor of Refuge" by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Chetco River, on which the Port is located, is the safest bar on the Oregon Coast with more than 280 passable days per year.

The Port of Brookings Harbor is classified as a Shallow-draft harbor. Shallow-draft harbors are defined as those with 14 feet or less depth.

Shallow-draft harbors are dependent upon commercial and recreational fishing to maintain port infrastructure.
