The Columbia River Estuary is an interstate and international river, originating in Canada and flowing south 1,214 miles to the Pacific Ocean. The Lower Columbia River Estuary Program works in the lower 146 miles of the river where the river divides Oregon and Washington. The estuary provides great historical significance to the region and the nation: Native Americans lived in great numbers on the lands that were later a focus of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Today, the diversity of the estuary's habitat and living resources and its primary significance to the economic stability of a vast population make its protection paramount.
