Yachats CoastWatch Clinic
Fawn Custer, CoastWatch’s volunteer coordinator, will lead a basic CoastWatch Clinic at Yachats State Park (at the end of 2nd St. in Yachats, where the Yachats River meets the sea), May 28, 8-11:30 a.m. Fawn will provide an introduction to monitoring a CoastWatch mile and filling out the report form, together with an explanation of the protocols for our sea star, marine debris, beached bird, and marine mammal stranding citizen science surveys. Meet in the parking lot at Yachats State Park (CoastWatch Mile 193) at 8 am. The clinic will be starting with a sea star survey. If you join later, Fawn will be wearing the bright orange rain pants.
Everyone is welcome—CoastWatchers, prospective CoastWatchers, or simply interested members of the public. Feel free to invite others along. The cost is free, of course!
