About the Deschutes Estuary Restoration Team

Founded in 2011, the Deschutes Estuary Restoration Team (DERT) is dedicated to advocating for the removal of the 5th Avenue Dam in Olympia, Washington. This dam has caused significant environmental and public health issues since its construction in 1951. DERT educates the community on the importance of restoring the Deschutes Estuary, a vital ecosystem that has been lost due to damming.
