Wilbur E. Ternyik (January 26, 1926 – April 2, 2018) was an American civic leader who has been characterized as a founding father of coastal planning, a coastal advocate, and a guardian of the Oregon Coast. News coverage of his work has described him as an international expert on sand dunes, and has noted his "decades of work to protect the environment that draws thousands to the Oregon coast." Ternyik's outreach to skeptical local officials in the early 1970s, persuading them to engage with then-Governor Tom McCall's call for land use planning in advance of the state's landmark land use legislation, has been identified as his most significant achievement.

  • The work of OCC&DC also had a national impact. Senator Mark Hatfield and Senator Bob Packwood could tell their colleagues that Oregonians were already making coastal management a reality. It wasn't a theory. As such, Oregon's successful experience birthing coastal planning played a vital role in the passage of the federal Coastal Zone Management Act in 1972. (en)
