The Trustee Council is developing a restoration plan to restore injured natural resources and address the public’s lost use of those resources. Restoration actions will improve habitat conditions along the lower Willamette River, its shorelines, floodplain, and river-associated habitats, focusing on the most important habitat needs of injured fish and wildlife.

The Trustee Council has identified a preliminary list of potential restoration opportunities in the Portland Harbor area and is drafting a Restoration Plan that will outline restoration options, describe a way to scale restoration to the assessed natural resource injuries, and guide how specific restoration projects are chosen. The Trustee Council will seek public input on the plan in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
