3 B
Cape Perpetua series to explore climate, salmon today
YACHATS — From their
start in freshwater streams to
the depths of the ocean and
back again, few Pacific
Northwest species can handle
diverse environs as much as
salmonids.
But how well will salmon’s
capacity for change serve them
in the uncharted waters of
changing climatic conditions?
Dr. Rebecca Flitcroft, Ph.D.,
a fish biologist with the U.S.
Forest
Service’s
Pacific
Northwest Research Station,
will share her latest research
and offer her assessment at the
next Cape Perpetua Winter
Discovery Series at 2 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 9, in the Visitor
Center, 2400 S. Highway. 101,
three miles south of Yachats.
“Survival in Times of
Change: Climate and Salmon
of the Oregon Coast Range”
delves into the dynamic genetic
lineage of salmon to unearth
clues that may provide for
adaptations necessary to the
species’ survival.
Dr. Flitcroft’s research
focuses on aquatic systems
from river headwaters to the
ocean. Her analysis bridges the
connection of stream networks
and estuaries to the aquatic
species that depend upon them.
The Cape Perpetua Winter
Discovery Series is an opportu-
nity to explore topics and
resources relevant to the
Oregon Coast during the off-
season
months
between
November and March. All pre-
sentations and guided walks are
free, but a Northwest Forest
Pass, Oregon Coast Passport or
$5 day-use fee is required with-
in the Cape Perpetua Scenic
Area.
On Jan. 16, at 2 p.m., learn
about Land/Sea Conservation
Issues. Cape Perpetua’s unique
connection between protected
coastal rainforest and marine
reserve provides an appropriate
backdrop in the conversation
for land/sea conservation.
For information, 541-547-
