Mid-Coast Water Action Plan

In fall 2021 / early 2022 Oregon’s Kitchen Table conducted a second phase of community engagement activities with the Mid-Coast Water Planning Partnership and communities in Lincoln County to hear what people thought about the Partnership's Water Action Plan, focusing on what actions people prioritized and ways they might also play a role themselves. This was a second phase of community engagement after 2018's initial work with the Partnership to hear what people knew about their water, what they valued about their water, and what initial strategies they might be interested in as the Partnership began considering strategies and actions. Engagement activities in 2021 / 2022 includes individual interviews, listening sessions and targeted outreach with members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Latinx and Indigenous community members, large industrial water users and other businesses, and the tourism/hospitality industry.  OKT also followed up with the participants in the 2018 online survey who provided contact information at that time.
