Students Invited to “Career Day”
High school students interested in pursuing marine-oriented careers are
invited to the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s “Career Day” on Nov. 23 from 9 a.m.
to 11 a.m.
Students will spend the morning with Oregon Coast Aquarium staff and
discover what it takes to pursue a career in marine animal care. Participants
will tour behind the scenes while meeting with an aquarist, an aviculturist, a
marine mammalogist, a dive safety officer, and an education specialist.
Staff will explain what their typical day is like, what special skills they
need to do their job, and how they got their start. After learning about the
specifics of these marine careers, students will get a personal tour of the behind-
the-scenes areas where the staff carries out its daily work. Students also will
connect animals to their marine habitats as they learn how the animals are
cared for.
“Career Day” costs only $7.50 and is made possible through the generous
sponsorship of KYTE/KNPT Radio, Marine Discovery Tours, Shilo Inns and
Resorts, the News-Times, Spirit Mountain Community Fund, KVAL TV 13/
Eugene, KPIC TV 4/Roseburg, and KCBY TV 11/Coos Bay.
Space is limited, so interested high school students are asked to register
by Nov. 20 by calling the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Ore., at
541-867-3474, ext. 5301. Doors will open at 8:45 a.m. on Nov. 23 for
“Career Day” check-in.

Workshop. Participants will create holiday wreaths and centerpieces, decorated

many other jewels from nature to create unique coastal holiday masterpieces
for gift-giving or home display. Oregon’s shores are rich in raw materials.
Participants may bring their favorite treasures if they wish, and the aquarium
will have plenty of materials on hand for everyone.
“It’s so satisfying to make beautiful things from the natural materials that
are all around us,” says Eileen Flory, one of the workshop leaders. “We’ll be
able to enjoy the holiday items we make in this workshop for many months
and years to come.”
The workshop is open to participants 13 and older and will provide plenty
of fun with a variety of materials and ideas for future projects. Participants
will take home holiday creations they’ll be proud to show off.
Space is limited and advance registration is required by calling the aquarium
at 541-867-3474, ext. 5225, no later than Nov. 6. Cost is $30 for aquarium
members, $35 for non-members, and includes all materials. Participants are
