We are excited to share our new Strategic Plan that will guide our organization over the next five years!

Here are our overarching goals. Visit the plan for specific outcomes and strategies.

Goal 1. A community of people is empowered to care about the watershed and actively work to improve watershed health.

Goal 2. Habitat in the Coos watershed is improved to support robust salmon populations and thriving communities.

Goal 3. CoosWA's design protocols and monitoring methods are improved to more effectively implement projects that support long-term ecological function, stability, and resilience for all species in the watershed with an emphasis on salmonids.

Goal 4. CoosWA is resilient and has sustainable human, physical, operational, and financial resources needed to achieve its mission.
