The Willamette River connects Portland, both literally and figuratively, and Ross Island is at the heart. It holds the key to our past and future relationship with the river. But, years of industrial activity and a changing climate have created a situation where harmful cyanobacteria can build up in the stagnant waters of the Ross Island Lagoon. This can impact people and animals all along the river, posing serious health risks. Fortunately, this problem can be solved. OSU has joined with other nonprofit, public and private partners to chart a path toward a solution.
