Building Partnerships for Oregon's Coastal Watershed - NERRS/NSC(NERRS Science Collaborative)

In Oregon’s Coos Bay, the natural environment is a source of pride and significant economic activity. But as a result of competing interests, the area’s natural resources can also be a source of conflict. This divisiveness often makes it difficult for to objectively assess the long-term effects of economic activity on social, economic, and environmental conditions

In response, the South Slough Reserve worked with the Coos Watershed Association to establish and facilitate the Partnership for Coastal Watersheds—a group of local stakeholders that represents diverse interests. The Partnership develops objective informational tools that serve as a foundation for community and economic development initiatives.
