The program identifies problems, evaluates current conditions, and recommends and helps implement corrective actions. Most importantly, the Estuary Program creates a forum where those affected by the Columbia River can decide on its future and take action. The Estuary Program actively encourages feedback and questions. We're all working together to improve the estuary. Support, involvement, and energy from elected officials, agency personnel, and private citizens will help make the difference.
Every voice is important.

No group is big enough to single handedly protect and restore the lower Columbia River. To efficiently cover such a wide geographic scale, groups must combine strengths and resources to undertake and successfully complete projects. The Estuary Program has worked with a number of different partners on projects ranging from riparian restorations, to regional conferences, to various student watershed restoration and education projects.
