Intertidal Habitat Restoration
NCLC /HRAP/Seven Capes Bird Alliance
1:30 pm to 2:30 pm
Cannon Beach Chamber Hall
Rocky intertidal areas, including tidepools, are home to abundant and diverse biological communities where sea stars, anemones, crabs, and colorful algae offer people opportunities to connect with marine life up close. Oregon’s rocky habitats comprise 41% of Oregon’s coastline and support a wealth of marine life from colonial nesting seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and invertebrates.
Local naturalist presenters include: Angela Whitlock, North Coast Land Conservancy; Kelli Ennis, Haystack Rock Awareness Program; and Kent Doughty, Seven Capes Bird Alliance.
Join us to learn about the wonders of Oregon’s rocky habitats, including the unique areas in Cannon Beach. This presentation will explore the amazing diversity of life in tidepools; rocky habitat management that is meant to balance protection, access, and enjoyment; and current legislation that will bolster the management of rocky habitats.
