Sea Level Rise Impacts to the lower Columbia River and Estuary

04.01.20

Sea level rise is expected to impact the lower Columbia River and estuary in a number of ways. Because of the extensive loss of tidal wetlands that has already occurred over the last century due to other, more direct human activity, one of the biggest habitat threats that sea level rise presents is the loss of additional tidal wetland areas as a result of increased tidal inundation. These wetlands provide critical habitat for numerous species, including critically endangered and threatened juvenile salmonid species. The Estuary Partnership recently completed a baseline assessment of potential

Climate Resiliency

10.17.19

Ecosystems, and the wide range of services they provide to all species, including humans, are threatened in multiple ways by changing precipitation patterns, more extreme storms, sea level rise, warming temperatures, and more. Recurring extreme weather events like hotter drier summers and milder winters are already affecting the Columbia estuary, and they are predicted to have profound impacts in the future. Some of the predicted changes that are expected to result in significant impacts to fish and wildlife in the estuary are described below. More information about the causes and effects of

Research

10.16.19

To carry out our scientific mission, the Estuary Partnership and its partners continually work to identify, assess, and respond to trends in the lower Columbia River and estuary. In addition to our on-the-ground Ecosystem Monitoring and Restoration Effectiveness Monitoring work, which helps inform these efforts, we also carry out a variety of additional research projects to fill other needed knowledge gaps. Our structure and ecosystem-based approach allows for broad-scale inquiries and research designed to support management efforts in the region. Our staff works closely with a regional panel

Study Explores Carbon Methane Flux in Estuary Wetlands

Pioneering Study to Explore Carbon Methane Flux in Columbia River Estuary Wetlands

A new study is underway examining the role of Columbia River estuary wetlands in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In partnership with Oregon Health & Science University, and Portland State University, the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership ’s Soil Carbon and Methane Study of Columbia River Estuary Wetlands evaluates the dual role of estuary wetlands in both storing and emitting gases including carbon dioxide and methane.
