BLM Removing North Spit Docks for the Winter
Coos Bay, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will remove the docks from the water
at the North Spit boat launch during the week of October 17, 2011.
“We can save the docks from a lot of wear and tear if we store them on dry ground during the
stormy season,” said Bob Golden with the BLM. “The docks will be re-installed in March 2012.”
The other facilities at the North Spit boat launch will remain open throughout the winter. For

About BLM
The BLM manages more land – 245 million surface acres – than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the
National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western States, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of
about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s
multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and
future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing,
mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public
lands.
