 rsity\n\nTopic: Public perceptions of coastal resources and marine protect
 ed areas: Exploring drivers of support and values for Oregon’s Marine Re
 serves\n\nConsideration of social and cultural dimensions in coastal and m
 arine planning has increased over the past several decades\, and local com
 munity dynamics around marine protected area designation and resource mana
 gement more broadly has been the subject of much ocean and coastal managem
 ent social science research. However\, broader public opinions and attitud
 es about coastal resources and marine protected areas are not well underst
 ood and are critical for managers seeking to maintain their public trust o
 bligations in environmental management. We explored relationships between 
 awareness\, attitudes and beliefs towards coastal and marine resource issu
 es and uses\, and demographics among a sample of Oregon\, USA residents (n
 =459)\, and tested their influence on support for expanding Oregon’s rec
 ently established marine reserves. We also conducted and analyzed a public
  participation geographic information system (PPGIS) mapping survey (n=244
 ) to capture uses and perceived values of coastal and marine areas. We mea
 sured coastal values\, explored regional differences in those values\, and
  identified a suite of coastal and marine ecosystem services that Oregonia
 ns prioritize from the recently established marine reserve network. We fou
 nd that public support for Oregon’s marine reserves is linked to concern
 s for the ecological integrity of Oregon’s ocean jurisdiction and attitu
 des towards a number of human uses of the ocean. Support is generally high
  with >65% reporting interest in expanding the number or size of Oregon’
 s marine reserves.  In mapping results\, we incorporated ecosystem service
  value types into a use (indirect and direct) and non-use (existence) valu
 e framework\, and found that participants prioritized indirect use (scenic
 \, recreation) over direct use and existence values coastwide. Within Oreg
 on’s marine reserve network\, which was not delineated in the mapping ex
 ercise\, value preferences diverged from coastwide averages\, wherein exis
 tence values (biodiversity/wildlife\, wilderness\, etc.) were elevated abo
 ve other categories.
