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.
