Willamette Habitat Restoration Priorities

Willamette River Basin, Oregon

For the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), ESA reviewed local habitat restoration priorities, summarized basin-wide issues, and produced a written report and database. Our work focused on fish and wildlife habitat and water quality throughout the Willamette Basin. The process included summarizing relevant habitat studies and soliciting advice and feedback from basin stakeholders. ESA summarized the findings and stakeholder input and provided a series of maps that summarized and displayed fish and wildlife restoration priorities at a range of scales. The project’s findings and recommendations will assist OWEB in prioritizing the selection of grant-funded habitat restoration projects in the basin.
