Log on to Haystack Rock Game-based app offers seabird education, fun CANNON BEACH — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with the Friends of Haystack Rock and the Hay- stack Rock Awareness Program, is launching an interactive, place-based game app, Discover Haystack. The public is invited to attend its launch party at Hay- stack Rock at 9 a.m. Saturday, in conjunction with the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest. Visit the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest Information Booth and pick up information on how to download the app. Then walk over to Haystack Rock to play the game with others from 9 DPWRSP Developed by Discover Na- ture Apps, the app teaches visi- tors about the diverse seabirds, marine mammals, rocky shore habitats and creatures of the Or- egon Coast. The game includes a GPS-guided nature-based scavenger hunt; the ability for XVHUVWRSRVWDQGYLHZ¿HOGWLSV and photographs, and the oppor- tunity to share their experiences on social media. To play the “Discover Hay- stack” game, users must be at Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. People visiting as a group can compete against one another, or families can opt to work as a team. The app also offers opportunities for users to capture photos of their discov- HULHVLQFOXGLQJ¿HOGQRWHVVXFK as where they are seeing tufted SXI¿QV RU VXQÀRZHU VHD VWDUV The discoveries, notes and pho- tos are viewable in a digital pho- to gallery that will be accessible worldwide. “With this app, we can reach exponentially more coastal visitors and residents with a fun and interactive experience that leaves them with a greater awareness and appreciation of Oregon Coast’s seabirds and their habitats,” said Dawn Har- ris, visitor services manager for the Oregon Coast Nation- al Wildlife Refuge Complex. “Until now, we’ve been limited in the ways we can deliver the information we know they’ll value in a way that’s both com- pelling and entertaining.” Funding for this smart- phone app came from a special IXQG FUHDWHG WR EHQH¿W VHDELUG species that suffered in the af- termath of the New Carissa oil spill near Coos Bay in February 1999. The freighter ran aground, broke apart and spilled between 70,000 and 140,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil, killing an esti- mated 2,465 seabirds and water- fowl along the coast.
