Columbia River Estuarine Ecosystem Classification GIS Layers

The Columbia River Estuaryine Ecosystem Classification is comprised of a hierarchical group of 6 geospatial data sets which characterize the unique ecosystem of the lower Columbia River and estuary.  The framework was developed for applications in larger river systems characterized by very long reaches of tidal freshwater (nearly 200 km, in the case of the lower Columbia).

Technical Assistance Opportunity

The Estuary Partnership manages a Habitat Restoration Program for the lower Columbia River and estuary. Over time, the Estuary Partnership has identified that the most successful habitat restoration projects are those that have highly developed project designs and well articulated scopes. To help provide access to highly skilled professional services to help fill these needs, the Estuary Partnership has developed a Technical Assistance Program.
