Historically, there has been much research conducted within the littoral cell. This research is available on this site or at the Capes Watershed Council Office. Unfortunately there have been many changes to the landscape since the majority of the research was conducted. The first action the Council will take is to create a restoration plan for the Netarts Bay Watershed. Please visit our projects page to learn more about what this entails. Once this is completed and we have been able to address some of the limiting factors in the Netarts Bay Watershed, we will expand into the northern parts of the littoral cell. There are many issues that Oceanside faces and we would like to address them as funding permits.

The Capes region has a rich history. Once inhabited by the Killamook Native Americans, the Capes is now home to people from around the world. The popularity of this region is growing quickly. Many citizens groups have been formed to address the many concerns created by this growth. Although the watershed councils purpose is to conduct research and restore the land and waters between Cape Mears and Cape Lookout, many council members also participate in local Coastal Planning and Advisory Committees (CPAC.) In addition to CPAC, many council members also participate in local neighborhood councils. Members of the Capes Community are very involved in the development of their community.
