At Coast Range Radio, we interview folks who work to build just communities that provide for people and the natural world. We are particularly interested in the connections between Oregon’s forests, social justice, and the climate crisis.

The Campaign for Oregon's Estuaries, with Annie Merrill
We often think of the land and the sea as separate worlds that have little to do with each other. But that barrier is much more fluid and interconnected than many people realize.
We’ve talked on this program before about what folks call the ‘Land-Sea Connection’, and today we’re going to talk about the ‘connection’ piece of that equation, estuaries! Estuaries are where the land and sea meet and intermingle, and are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world.
To talk all about the campaign to protect and restore Oregon’s estuaries, I’m joined by Annie Merrill of Oregon Shores.
