Today we’ll talk about a large grant that the EPA just awarded to a local environmental group, the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, funding the group’s work to enhance communities and address watershed needs in our region posed by issues like sea level rise and other challenges. The grant is part of a massive funding bill called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed into law last fall.
It’s another example of behind the scenes work that often unsung organizations do routinely, to make our communities more resilient, and the public funding that makes such projects possible.
(Having some issues with posting transcripts… they’ll return here – in this space – as soon as I figure it out…)

Today we take a look at an often-seen, odd-looking and highly effective vessel here on the Columbia: the amazing car carrier, whose purpose is to carry vehicles. Without them, most of us would not have a car to drive.

Today we’ll talk about why mariners must by law help one another if someone is in trouble on the water.
It’s also a time honored tradition, not to mention a recognition of the reality that all mariners are equally vulnerable when things go wrong at sea.

Often we focus here on the Ship Report on the portion of the river between Astoria and the ocean, where things are quite dramatic and treacherous on a regular basis.
But the upriver portion of the river is formidable as well. Today we’ll talk about the heavy currents and winds that are among the factors that make inland transits also challenging.
