As science and conserva- tion enter more into our day- to-day dialogue and lifestyle, more is known about where to go to experience nature and see for yourself what the buzz is about. More is known about why this nature is worth pro- tecting. Less is known howev- er about the actual data of the water — How warm? How clean? How alive? This lecture will share what long- and short-term water-quality data has been collected by volunteers and others in the Ecola watershed, focusing from 1996-2014. It will brieÀy touch on proce- dure and local plans. Jones was the coordinator of the North Coast Watershed Association between 2011 and 2015. She has been working with watershed councils, wa- ter districts, and municipali- ties in Clatsop and Columbia counties since 2006, assisting with research, outreach, nego- tiations, grant writing, project management, advocacy and water quality training. This summer, Jones worked to or- ganize a team of volunteers in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties to collect and sample ocean water on a regular basis, supported by Surfrider’s North Coast Blue Water Task Force Chapter.
