IAN, in collaboration with the Meyer Memorial Trust, will develop the Willamette River Report Card. The 187 mile long Willamette River is located entirely in Oregon and is a major tributary of the Columbia River. Flowing northward between the Oregon Coast Range and the Cascade Range, the Willamette River basin contains two-thirds of Oregon's population, including the state's largest city, Portland, positioned near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. IAN staff held introductory workshops in Portland and Corvallis OR with eminent scientists in the area and relevant stakeholders associated with the management and use of the Willamette River and its watershed. A workshop to fully develop the Report Card will be held in September 2014 with a draft available for review in December 2014. Front cover photo by freshwater illustrated.
