The Elakha Alliance, a nonprofit working to restore Oregon's historic sea otter population, will be hosting a webinar on citizen science and the protection and restoration of Oregon's kelp forests, Feb.13 at 6:30 p.m. This webinar will feature Dan Abbott and Annie Bauer-Civiello, of the Reef Check Foundation.
About Reef Check:
"The Reef Check foundation trains volunteer citizen science scuba divers to measure the health of kelp forest ecosystems along the west coast of North America from Baja to Bellingham. In Oregon, teams of Reef Check divers have been not just surveying along the coast but contributing to restoration projects as part of the Oregon Kelp Alliance. Join Dan and Annie to learn more about the work Reef Check is doing in Oregon and the health of kelp forest ecosystems along the Oregon Coast and the fish, invertebrates, and otters, that depend on them!"
This webinar will take place on Monday, Feb. 13, starting at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to all. Please RSVP by filling out the registration form here, and you will be emailed the Zoom link.
