Jones Act

In Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest, we enjoy an abundant commercial fishing industry as well as recreational fishing.
In Portland, we are an important shipping "port" town. Oregon has several important shipping ports: Astoria, Newport, Portland, and many points in between. The bigger ports are vital to commerce, moving cargo and freight, moving goods into and out of Oregon.
