May 2025 issue just out

National Safe Boating Week May 17-25, is the official launch of the 2025 North American Safe Boating Campaign. National Safe Boating Week promotes the value of life jacket wear by recreational boaters through the national theme, “Wear It!” U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning was the reported cause of death in four out of every five recreational boating fatalities, and that 83 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets.
There are many options for boaters when it comes to choosing a life jacket. When selecting a life jacket, a boater should check that it is U.S. Coast Guard approved, appropriate for the water activity, and fits properly. The best life jacket is the one you will wear.
Whether you’re going fishing or just enjoying a ride on the boat, make sure you’re prepared for the adventure by wearing a life jacket and knowing how to use required safety gear.
US Coast Guard Auxiliary Vessel Examiners from Flotilla 63 – Station Tillamook Bay will be conducting Courtesy Vessel Safety Checks on Saturday May 31, 2025 from 9am to 3pm at the Port of Garibaldi. Bring your boat or paddle craft by to talk with a qualified US Coast Guard Auxiliary Vessel Examiner and ensure you are ready for the North Oregon Coastal boating season.

It’s a distance and up 4 stairs to the driveway. It will definitely take a good dolly and strong helpers to move.

Calling all bay admirers and clam lovers! Would you like to learn more about the different types of clams in Netarts Bay? Are you new to clamming and looking for some tips? Do you love to clam but rather not go alone?
Join Friends of Netarts Bay, Estuary, Beach and Sea – WEBS, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Saturday, May 31st for an informative day on the bay, learning about sustainable shellfish harvesting. “Not only will participants gain insights into sustainable clamming practices, they will also learn more about ODFW’s research on bay clam populations and estuarine habitat studies” shares WEBS Stewardship Coordinator Marina Dreeben. In addition to discussing current research, participants will discuss the role of shellfish in bay health, the types of clams in the bay, and the best, most sustainable methods for harvesting wild shellfish. Both new and experienced clammers will have a chance to learn alongside ODFW and WEBS staff/volunteers. Clammers can count on gaining knowledge and collecting their limit with a fun group of community members.
This popular WEBS event fills up quickly but we do have last minute cancellations so feel free to sign up and add your name to the waitlist in case spots become available, or email info@netartsbaywebs.org to volunteer as a photographer, on-shore support, or clamming expert! If you are not able to attend the Sustainable Clamming on the Bay this May, be sure and check our calendar to register for our next clamming event coming up in August.
Registration is required for this free event. Learn more at:
