ecologist to speak in Astoria, Nehalem
Coastal ecologist Dr. Stewart Schultz
will speak on “The Natural History of
Northwest Beaches” at Fort George Brew-
ery and Public House, 1483 Duane St.,
in Astoria on Thursday, Aug. 22, from
6-8 p.m. and at the North County Recre-

Following the lecture in Nehalem,
Schultz will lead a beach walk on Manza-
nita Beach starting at 7 p.m.
Schultz is the author of “The Northwest
Coast: A Natural History” and a leading
expert on the coastal ecology of the Pacifi c
Northwest. He will describe the life found
on the shore and within the sands at his
lectures.
This event is sponsored by the Coast-
Watch program of the Oregon Shores Con-
servation Coalition.
Schultz has wide-ranging experience in
studying the Oregon coast, making him a
knowledgeable guide to the shoreline envi-
ronment. He is a native Oregonian who
grew up playing on the shore near Gear-
hart and later attended Reed College. He
obtained his doctorate in botany from the
University of British Columbia.
Schultz worked on the Oregon coast
for the Nature Conservancy, the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, gaining
wide fi eld experience before pursuing an
academic career as a professor at the Uni-
versity of Miami, and now the University of
Zadar in Croatia. During the academic year
he studies marine ecology, as well as his
specialty of plant evolution and genetics,
but every summer he returns to the Oregon
coast to teach shoreline science.
Attendees can also meet new Coast-
Watch Volunteer Coordinator Jesse Jones,
an Astoria resident, who will introduce
Schultz and speak briefl y about CoastWatch
and its citizen science projects. CoastWatch
volunteers monitor one-mile segments of
the Oregon coast, watching for both natu-
ral changes and human impacts and serve as
conservation advocates for their miles.

at 503-989-7244 or email jesse@oregon-
