Coastal Conservation Association Oregon. For centuries, our fisheries have played an important part of our state's history and heritage. Today, that heritage is threatened: in the Pacific Northwest, more than 200 species of fish are extinct and 153 species are on the endangered list. CCA Oregon is one of 17 state chapters of the nonprofit Coastal Conservation Association, which has been involved in virtually every national fisheries debate since 1984. CCA Oregon advocates for the protection of our state's marine resources and the interests of anglers, and has quickly become the voice of marine conservation in our state.

Protecting Natural Flows in Oregon Rivers. Without WaterWatch, many of Oregon’s rivers and streams would run dry. Unbelievable but true. In fact, during key dry months in almost every river basin in Oregon, there are too many water rights and not enough water to go around. Even in the 21st century, it can be legal in Oregon to drain our rivers until they are bone dry. That’s what WaterWatch works to prevent. For 28 years, WaterWatch has protected and restored water to Oregon’s rivers, streams and lakes for fish, wildlife and people. Portland, Oregon
