Mid-Coast Water Planning Partnership Values and Beliefs

In late fall 2018, the Mid-Coast Water Planning Partnership (the Partnership), in collaboration with Oregon’s Kitchen Table, conducted a public engagement process to gather input from people who work in, live in, own a business in, or often visit Oregon’s Mid-Coast (from Cascade Head to Cape Perpetua) about their knowledge, values, and beliefs about water and the future of water in the region. Nearly 680 people from throughout the region took part in a variety of engagement opportunities, including communities listening sessions in Spanish and Mam.  11% of participants identified as Spanish speaking.  This engagement was part of the work that the Partnership has undertaken to balance the region's water needs now and in the future.
