Informal CoastWatch Beachwalk
Fawn Custer, our CoastWatch volunteer coordinator, will be using up a few of her 15 minutes of fame this Friday morning (July 28). She is being interviewed for a film being produced by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry’s Coastal Documentary Explorers Camp, whose student participants will be interviewing her regarding the Oregon Beach Bill and the way that CoastWatchers provide support for our State Parks beach rangers and shoreline visitors. She will be doing the interview at Devils Punchbowl State Natural Area, on the north side of Otter Rock, early that morning.
As long as she will be on the beach in that area, and given our special focus this year on building up our citizen science work in the Otter Rock area, she will seize the opportunity to provide tidepool instruction to all comers, whether CoastWatchers or others. Beginning at about 9:30 a.m., she will be hanging out at the tidepools north of Otter Rock, providing a guided tour of the rocky shore environment to anyone who shows up. It will be a relatively low, 0 tide, and thus a good time to explore. Please feel invited to join her, and to bring along anyone else who might be interested (and especially, anyone who might be interested in getting involved in CoastWatch and citizen science).
If you would like more information or want to RSVP about participating, contact Fawn at (541) 270-0027, fawn@oregonshores.org.
