Estuary Exchange

Where Waters, Knowledge, and Support Converge

Estuaries are places of transformation, where river and ocean meet in a constant exchange, creating rich, life-sustaining conditions. Inspired by this ecological process, the Estuary Exchange is a dedicated space for connection during the Estuary to Old Growth (E2OG) Gathering, taking place on Wednesday, January 21, 2026.

Designed as a living metaphor for exchange flow, this session brings together Indigenous leaders, partners, and allies to share what they can offer in support of Indigenous-led stewardship. Partner organizations host tables within the Exchange, creating a physical presence where they share resources such as knowledge, tools, capacity, relationships, and other forms of support.

The Estuary Exchange is intended to foster dialogue, learning, and relationship-building, creating space for meaningful connections that can support Indigenous-led conservation and stewardship efforts along the coast.
