Columbia Slough Watershed Council

Join CSWC for an educational speaker event at Level Beer! Sean Payne, a Hydrologist at USGS, will be discussing a recent study that found PFAS in fish tissues sample from the Columbia Slough. PFAS are widely used, long lasting chemicals that may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals. Come learn about this study and its implications for the watershed!
