Although sharks are often associated with warm ocean waters, the colder waters off the Oregon Coast have abundant and diverse populations of sharks. From the largest predatory shark, the great white, to the diminutive spiny dogfish, sharks play as vital a role here as they do anywhere else in the ocean.
To help Oceanscape users identify and understand these fish, we’ve created a fully-illustrated guide entitled Sharks of Oregon which can be downloaded at the bottom of the page. Or click on the species below to learn more about them.
