CoastWatch Volunteer Coordinator Jesse Jones is touring the coast and meeting with CoastWatchers (and those interested in CoastWatch) at various locations.  The first of these “meet and greets" takes place on Wednesday, Aug. 25, 10 a.m., as Jesse visits CoastWatch Mile 307.  Participants will assemble by the mailboxes on East Beach Rd. in Arch Cape (to the east of Hwy 101) and carpool to the site of the beachwalk.  Registration is required.

Jesse will lead a walk along Mile 307.  This is a chance to get questions answered about CoastWatch monitoring and reporting, learn about citizen science projects including sea star observations and marine debris surveys, discuss rocky habitat site designations, and mingle with other CoastWatchers.  Bring coffee, tea, or water, and a snack, and plan for a 90-minute excursion. 

When you register, Jesse will provide more exact information.  Contact her at (503) 989-7244, jesse@oregonshores.org.  Be sure to contact her at least an hour before the beachwalk begins.
