Return of the Redds!
Return of the Redds (RREDDS) is an exciting collaboration between the North Coast Watershed Association, local landowners, the forest products industry, nonprofits, state and federal agencies all united around a common goal: To revitalize the once abundant Big Creek and Youngs Bay watersheds and chum salmon populations.
Why Chum? Because chum are some of the hardest workers of the salmon family and their aggressive spawning behavior can actually help repair lower watershed health. Historically, they returned here by the thousands and, after creating their “redds” and spawning, their carcasses fed everything from eagles and bears to the very chinook, coho and trout that define our great community.
We’d love to answer any questions you have, tell you about volunteer opportunities or sign you up for our emails to let you know the latest news on RREDDS. Visit the project’s website to learn more and connect with us for exciting watershed restoration opportunities!

NCWA Mission
To improve watershed health through community-based efforts.
The North Coast Watershed Association (NCWA) is a non-profit organization made up of diverse stakeholders from the community who coordinate, fund, and link watershed councils to community-based efforts to improve watershed health on the north coast of Oregon and in the Columbia River estuary. The North Coast Watershed Association knows healthy watersheds sustain healthy communities.
Vision for the Watersheds
The NCWA envisions healthy watersheds that support optimally functioning ecological processes and sustainable populations of naturally spawning fish, wildlife and human communities. We recognize that salmon are a keystone species in Pacific Northwest ecosystems and the NCWA will continue much of its focus, its attention and resources on improving salmon habitat. We believe that by bringing back the social, economic and ecological role of salmon, the overall health of the watershed and our communities will improve.
