This Northwest trio presents stunning indie rock originals and covers, early jazz and jazz standards, reinventions of ‘70s and ’80s rock as ballads, classical art songs mixed with rock (yes, really), and other surprises from far and wide. If the spectrum sounds broad, it is all held together by a signature sound informed by classical training and a respectful blending of many genres. It’s like a warm conversation with a good friend.
An evening with Kate & The Crocodiles has been called “A perfect combination of musical talent and intimate, unforgettable entertainment.”

ROCKFISH AND THE CHANGING OCEAN
Saturday, October 19th, 10 am – 12 pm
Join us for an enlightening event, “Rockfish and the Changing Ocean,” where we will dive into the fascinating world of rockfish and the evolving marine ecosystem off the Oregon coast.
The visiting scientist offering this presentation is Dr. Leif Rasmuson, the Marine Fishery Research Project Leader for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
In 2021, Dr. Rasmuson and his team conducted a groundbreaking survey using acoustics and underwater video, spanning the entire Oregon coastline for the first time in state history. This innovative research not only helped prevent drastic cuts to rockfish fisheries but also shed light on critical issues like hypoxia in nearshore waters. This research will be continued with a follow-up survey in 2025.
Additionally, Dr. Rasmuson will present about various rockfish projects currently underway in Oregon’s oceans. We’ll discuss the intriguing movements of Yelloweye rockfish, the behaviors of Deacon rockfish, and the concerning lack of older female Black, Yellowtail, and Canary rockfish.
Whether you’re a marine enthusiast, a fisherman, or simply curious to learn more about our ocean’s health, this event promises to provide valuable insights into the resilience and challenges of Oregon’s rockfish populations. Join us for an engaging discussion and a chance to learn more about Oregon’s first statewide black rockfish survey, and how it contributed to the 2023 rockfish population estimate.
Meeting Location: Register for details.
Registration Required: Get more information and find a link to register on our website at: www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
Cost: There is no cost to attend this program. Donations are appreciated.
