The event is designed to

Doors open at 8 a.m. and the

For more information and to

coast.com.
Oregon Sea Grant is a

education program based at
Oregon State University. The
conference will explore several
marine-related issues, includ-
ing changing ocean conditions
such as “The Blob” — a huge
patch of unusually warm water
in the Pacific Ocean; innova-
tions in fishing, new approach-
es to ocean conservation,
marine debris, water quality, a
potential Cascadia Subduction
Zone earthquake and others.
The conference will include
talks, displays and hands-on
activities.
Keynote speaker Wallace J.
Nichols, author of the book,
“Blue Mind: the Surprising
Science that Shows How Being
Near, In, On or Under Water
Can Make You Happier,
Healthier, More Connected and
Better at What You Do,” will
discuss some of the themes in
his book.
His talk will weave in neuro-
science, psychology, biology
and ecosystem analysis, as
well as personal stories.
