Editing Reedsport, Oregon (section)

==Renewable energy==
Plans for a 100-buoy commercial [[wave park]] in the ocean near Reedsport fell through in 2014, when [[Ocean Power Technologies]] (OPT), a [[renewable energy]] company based in [[New Jersey]], abandoned the project. The park, which would have been built in an area known for high-value fishing and crabbing, was opposed by the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission. OPT listed high costs, technical challenges, and complicated negotiations with governments and stakeholders among its reasons for cancelling the project. As of 2014, OPT still had plans for a much smaller project near Reedsport.<ref>{{cite news|author=Schwartz, Devan|title=Wave Energy Developer Pulls Plug on Oregon Project|date=2014-03-05|url= http://www.opb.org/news/article/wave-energy-developer-pulls-plug-on-oregon-project/|publisher=Oregon Public Broadcasting|access-date=2015-05-13}}</ref>
