	Introduction to PIVOT PIVOT for Tillamook Bay Watershed presents local environmental issues of concern and demonstrates how interactive maps can be used to track progress toward defined goals. In the following pages, learn how the Tillamook Bay Watershed Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) is addressing the problems of habitat, water quality, sedimentation, and flooding. Learn also how maps can be used to demonstrate how these issues are being resolved. The sources page for all references cited in PIVOT may be found under the "Tillamook's Watershed" tab in the "Overview" section. The Tillamook County Performance Partnership (TCPP) project tracking Web site asks whether the CCMP actions, designed to address Tillamook's priority problems listed above, are being carried out as planned. PIVOT's performance tracking asks whether those actions, once implemented, are having the desired positive effect on the health of the watershed and community. Will the quality of life traditionally enjoyed by Tillamook residents be available for future generations? PIVOT's issue summaries remind us why we care, and its interactive maps present preliminary CCMP performance data. This framework can be used as a starting point to help the community assess, over the long-term, how well CCMP actions are working. Image and Data Credits What's Next?
