The World of Haystack Rock speaker series is offered on the second Wednesday of each month from November through April, with each presentation taking place at 7 p.m. in the Cannon Beach Library.  The Friends of Haystack Rock group, sponsor of the series, supports Cannon Beach’s Haystack Rock Awareness Program.

The lecture featured on Jan. 10 is entitled, "The Marine Reserves Research Project." The lecturer will be Dr. David (Wolfe) Wagman, an Ecological Research Technician for the Oregon Marine Reserves Team of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. 

Wagman assists with the Program’s ecological monitoring efforts. He wears many hats, and if you’ve ever been a volunteer angler on one of our hook-and-line surveys then you’ve probably met Wolfe. He received his PhD degree in Fisheries Sciences from Oregon State University in 2004. His research was focused on the use of molecular genetic markers as species markers for four species of endemic Klamath Basin suckers. He was an adjunct assistant professor at Western Oregon University and has a wide range of biological interests.
