ONRC Projects Supported by PNW Funds
The USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Research Station distributes funding to ONRC as a result of Congressional earmarking. The annual funding amount varies; in fiscal year 2001, funding includes $200,000 designated to support the implementation of the Forest Service Northwest Forest Plan, while $50,000 is allocated to non-Northwest Forest Plan research.

ONRC Marine Program Projects 
ONRC's Marine Program thus far focuses around two projects, Control of Spartina in Willapa Bay and Olympic Region Harmful Algal Blooms. We have worked closely with a wide array of stakeholders: agencies, private organizations, business associations and regional and local public interest groups to evaluate and test a biological control option to control the invasive weed Spartina. Thus far, ONRC has directly or cooperatively assembled approximately $1.5 million for Spartina-related research, education and outreach activities. Research now underway on "harmful algal blooms" was made possible by ONRC's work to develop a coalition - the Olympic Regional Harmful Algal Bloom (ORHAB) working group-- of stakeholders, researchers, professionals, and agencies with a common interest in blooms of toxin producing algae. Thus far, this regional coalition has attracted over $1.4 million dollars of support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for its work. Its objectives are to develop locally sustainable monitoring capabilities so that coastal communities can be prepared for and mitigate the impacts of harmful algal blooms.

Research Funded from Other Sources
In addition to PNW supported projects and marine program projects, ONRC supports research, conferences, and forums relevant to our mission serving coastal communities and natural resource professionals. These projects are funded by a variety of supporters including foundations, corporations, agencies and local governments.
