NCWA Mission
To improve watershed health through community-based efforts.
The North Coast Watershed Association (NCWA) is a non-profit organization made up of diverse stakeholders from the community who coordinate, fund, and link watershed councils to community-based efforts to improve watershed health on the north coast of Oregon and in the Columbia River estuary. The North Coast Watershed Association knows healthy watersheds sustain healthy communities.
Vision for the Watersheds
The NCWA envisions healthy watersheds that support optimally functioning ecological processes and sustainable populations of naturally spawning fish, wildlife and human communities. We recognize that salmon are a keystone species in Pacific Northwest ecosystems and the NCWA will continue much of its focus, its attention and resources on improving salmon habitat. We believe that by bringing back the social, economic and ecological role of salmon, the overall health of the watershed and our communities will improve.
