SUMMARY:Science Pub: Portland Harbor
LOCATION:OMSI\, 1945 SE Water Ave\, Portland\, OR\, 97214
DESCRIPTION:The River Remembers: Community\, Science\, and the Future of P
 ortland Harbor with Cassie Cohen\, Executive Director\, Portland Harbor Co
 mmunity Coalition and Ja’Marian Malley\, Campaign Manager\, Portland Harbo
 r Community Coalition About the Lecture Portland’s working river carries m
 any stories — of industry\, contamination\, community\, survival\, restora
 tion\, and responsibility. The Portland Harbor Superfund cleanup is not on
 ly a technical process\; it is also a public health\, environmental justic
 e\, and accountability issue that will shape the future of the Willamette 
 River for generations. In this talk\, Portland Harbor Community Coalition 
 will help audiences understand what is at stake in the cleanup\, how decis
 ions about contaminated sediment\, restoration\, disposal\, access\, and h
 abitat affect people and place\, and why community and Tribal voices must 
 be centered in decisions about the river’s future. Through images\, storie
 s\, and practical examples\, this presentation will invite people to ask: 
 Who speaks for the river — and how do we listen? Science Pubs are a casual
  lecture series located in fun venues across the region\, recommended for
