who would like to be more
active in leading community
action or activities.= She went
on to say, <As the visioning
effort moves toward imple-
mentation and direct actions
in the community, we do think
it will be especially helpful if
as many people as possible
are willing and ready to spear-
head talks, tasks, or projects.=
With more than 35
years of experience, Terry
Buchholz is the principal
facilitator and strategist for
Integrated Water Solutions.
She has become known in
the Pacific Northwest for her
ability to convene collabora-
tive processes that achieve
implementable consensus
solutions. She has helped a
diverse range of organiza-
tions, including tribes, state
and local agencies, and stake-
holder organizations.
There will be another ses-
sion in the spring focusing on
collaboration after this ses-
sion on facilitation.
The free community meal
and a chance to connect with
other community members
will be offered from 5 to 5:45

the workshop is being made
available for a nominal $5 per
person that will be collected
at the door.
Seating is limited and
reservations are required.

Lecture explores threatened oceans
Oceans cover more than
70 percent of the earth, and to
the humans who first turned
to them for transportation,
food and spiritual inspira-
tion, their vast waters must
have seemed inexhaustible
and invincible. But they were
not. From carbon emissions
to plastic trash to spilled oil
and constant noise, modern
pollutants threaten the very
existence of marine life.
<For most of its history,
the ocean was a de facto
fully protected area, sim-
ply because humans could
not access it,= wrote Dr.
Kirsten Grorud-Colvert for
Smithsonian.com. <It is only
in the last half-century that
most of the ocean has become
accessible to extractive activ-
ities. Industrial-scale fishing,
for example, is now global,
leaving only small fractions
of the ocean free from extrac-
tive activity.=
Dr. Grorud-Colvert is
among the experts on marine
ecology working throughout
the world to create, study
and promote marine reserves
4 geographic areas with dis-
crete boundaries that have
been designated to enhance
the conservation of ocean
resources.
An assistant professor
in the Integrative Biology
Department at Oregon State
University, she also directs
the Science of Marine
Reserves Project, an interna-
tional collaboration working
to catalyze, synthesize, and
communicate scientific data
about marine protected areas.

Dr. Kirsten Grorud-Colvert will explore the world’s oceans at The Belfry on
January 22.
As a marine ecologist, Dr.
Grorud-Colvert has studied
ocean organisms underwater
and above the waves in the
Oregon nearshore, the Florida
Keys, and the California
Channel.
Her goal? To help find
solutions to the challenges
facing the oceans.
Dr. Grorud-Colvert will
speak at The Belfry on
Tuesday, January 22, for the
first winter lecture in the
2018-19 Frontiers in Science
series, sponsored by the
Sisters Science Club.
In addition to the evening
lecture, Dr. Grorud-Colvert
will present a K-5 program
at Sisters Elementary School
and meet with the ECoS class
at Sisters Middle School.
Dr. Grorud-Colvert9s lec-
ture, <Oregon9s Ocean: Local
Legacy and Global Goals,=
starts at 7 p.m. at The Belfry,
with an introduction by
retired OSU professor and
oceanographer Dr. Curtiss
Davis of Redmond.
Social hour begins at 6
p.m. with light fare, beer, and

What happens when an area of the ocean comes
under the protection of an ocean preserve? Are
fisheries ruined or enhanced? Is the cost too high?
Dr. Grorud-Colvert studies Oregon’s ocean, both
above and below the water. Shared with planners
of marine reserves around the world, her research
is essential to understanding the ecology of
marine communities, their survival potential in a
changing climate, and the needs of the 870 million
people that depend on the ocean for food.
