For those planning to spend the holidays near the Oregon coast, make sure to check out Whale Watching Week. Whale Watching Week is an annual event that takes place Dec. 27-31 this year at various locations on the coast. This week, as well as a week in March, is the best time to see the annual migration of gray whales, according to Whale Watching Spoken Here’s website. The Whale Watching Spoken Here program, based out of Depoe Bay, is offering volunteers to be stations at 24 sites along the coast from 10 am to 1 pm each day of Whale Watching Week. The closest spot to Eugene is the Sea Lion Caves turnout, north of Florence. “Whales are a special part of the Oregon coast,” says Luke Parsons, an Oregon Parks and Recreation Department ranger, in an email to EW. “Nearly 20,000 people visit our whale watch sites each winter and are educated by our excellent volunteers.” He adds: “I hope visitors walk away feeling a little more connected to these animals, along with a greater appreciation of our oceans.” For more info about Whale Watching Week and to see a full map of watch sites, visit whalespoken.wordpress.com. — Meerah Powell Refuge Recovery Meeting, 7-8:30pm, Buddha Eye Temple, 2190 Garfield St. FREE.
