Clackamas Partnership - Phase 2

In 2018, the Clackamas Partnership developed its Strategic Action Plan (SAP) to restore the Clackamas fish populations and was subsequently awarded an OWEB FIP grant to support fish habitat restoration from 2019 to 2025. The SAP’s geography encompasses portions of the Clackamas Basin, the lower Willamette, Abernethy, Kellogg, and Johnson Creek watersheds, and other lower Willamette tributaries. The SAP addresses limiting factors identified in ODFW’s Lower Columbia River Recovery Plan. The 2018 SAP called for a revision in 2026 to incorporate lessons learned over the previous implementation period and address new priorities identified through the LCR Plan and other assessments. New issues have arisen, including enhancing engagement with tribal interests and engaging communities. This project will update the SAP by addressing new priorities identified through the LCR Plans recovery effort and synthesizing information from recent studies, monitoring, and assessments to guide future restoration actions and priorities.

The Partnership will update the Strategic Action Plan with information gained from the studies conducted in the past 6 years. The enhanced SAP will, at a minimum, continue to focus on the current geography, which includes the mainstem and floodplain of the Clackamas and the lower Willamette rivers, Abernethy, Kellogg, and Johnson Creek and other key tributaries, and tributary junctions with the Willamette (e.g., Kellogg Creek’s confluence).
