Who We Are

The Oregon Central Coast Estuary Collaborative is a network of estuary conservation and restoration practitioners collaborating to improve the health and resilience of estuaries on Oregon's central coast. We exist to provide technical and strategic support for organizations conducting estuary conservation and restoration on the Central Oregon Coast. The group was initially founded by eight non-profits and watershed councils (the Core Group) but welcome others who are willing to constructively engage in/support estuary conservation/restoration, either on specific projects and/or more broadly. We currently have over 70 individuals from 40 organizations engaged with varying levels of involvement. The Core Groups and some of the more active participants are listed to the right.

  • Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians

  • Estuary Technical Group of the Institute for Applied Ecology

  • MidCoast Watersheds Council

  • Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council

  • Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission

  • Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council

  • Siuslaw Watershed Council

  • The Nature Conservancy

  • The Wetlands Conservancy

  • Tillamook Estuaries Partnership
