Learn about king tides, the
future of Oregon’s beaches
MANZANITA —
Learn about Oregon’s King
Tides Photo Project 4:30 to
6:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, at
the Hoffman Center for the
Arts, 594 Laneda Ave.
The final king tides are
Monday through Wednesday,
Feb. 18 through 20. We will
watch a slideshow of the best
photos this season and learn
about how to get involved.
We also will hear about
Oregon’s dunes and beaches,
and the impacts of global
warming from Dr. Sally
Hacker, a professor in Oregon
State University’s Department
of Integrative Biology. She
will discuss the interaction of
dunes and the ocean, how the
sea fertilizes dunes through
the deposition of wrack, and
how this relationship may
be affected by the sea level
rise, more intense storms and
increased erosion anticipated
with global warming.
The event is sponsored
by Friends of Cape Falcon
Marine Reserve, Haystack
Rock Awareness Project, Ore-
gon Shores Conservation
Coalition, and the Oregon
Department of Land Conser-
vation & Development.
