Oregon is taking a coordinated streamside-management approach to address priority water quality concerns and improve streams for fish and wildlife. The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and other state agencies, local partners, and stakeholders are coordinating expertise, funding, and resources to improve water quality throughout the state. ODA’s Strategic Implementation Area (SIA) initiative was selected to implement the coordinated approach.
Goals
The goals of 2021-23 ODA AgWQ Support Grants are to provide capacity to SWCDs and WCs that supports the goals of the AgWQ Program, Area Plans, and the SIA initiative that can be accomplished voluntarily.

Many measurable objectives and goals from the Area Plans overlap with voluntary partner conservation efforts and can be used to meet partner strategic plans in conjunction with accomplishing the goals of this grant.
