Site Navigation Overview
- The primary State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) sections are listed in the left hand menu, available from every page within the swap.oregon.gov website.
- Selecting a left hand menu section opens the associated content, and opens up a menu of available sub-sections beneath the selected section.
- Many pages offer an additional menu on the right-hand side of the page, providing the ability to jump to specific content within a page.
- On all pages, the title of the page also serves as the site’s search tool. Click anywhere within the title/search-bar, type in your subject of interest, and select the magnifying glass to search for specific content throughout swap.oregon.gov.
- When specific pages contain associated mapping layers, the “map pin” tool is made available. Selecting the map pin provides an interactive map preview of the associated mapping layers. Within the preview, you can use an additional button to view the layer(s) within ODFW’s Compass mapping application. Selecting this button allows you to access additional layers and options, search for a specific map location, generate reports, and many other features.

On the Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs) page, this orders COAs in alphabetical order.
