Overview
The Conservation Effectiveness Partnership has a mission to describe the effectiveness of cumulative conservation and restoration actions in achieving ecological outcomes through collaborative monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. CEP partners have agreed on
goals and objectives* for the partnership, with an emphasis on water quality and watershed health.
CEP identifies watersheds with significant agency investment and with specific water quality issues, and then engages with on-the-ground partners to identify specific questions about the effects of restoration investments on ecological outcomes. Please see a
storymap overview* of how the statewide partnership works with local partners to “tell the story." To date, CEP has completed focused work in 6 watersheds around the state, including Tillamook County’s Wilson River and Wasco County’s Fifteenmile Creek.
