2B | SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 2018 | SIUSLAW NEWS N EWPORT A QUARIUM INVITES PUBLIC TO ‘S EAS THE D AY ’ AT W ORLD O CEANS EVENT J UNE 30 NEWPORT — The Oregon Coast Aquarium will celebrate World Oceans Day on Saturday, June 30. The event highlights the importance of the ocean and its inhabitants through interactive activities, raffles, and animal presentations. The theme for 2018 World Oceans Day is “Our Oceans, Our Future.” The goal is to call attention to the ocean’s inextricable link to the well-being of the planet, and how reducing plastic con- sumption benefits the world’s largest ecosystem — from plankton to people. The event will encourage guests to take part in everyday solutions to plastic pollution and marine litter. Learn from Max the sea lion and Schuster the sea otter as they show their commitment to recycling by disposing of plastic bottles in the proper receptacle. Presentations starring JoJo the brown pelican will educate guests on the importance of proper waste disposal so that plastics and fishing line don’t endanger seabirds. Visitors can also chat with the marine mammal team about the aquarium’s entangle- ment rehabilitation cases, like the northern fur seal pup. Don’t miss the once in a life- time opportunity to see the dissection of a blue shark that was caught as bycatch. To illustrate the concept of reducing plastic consumption, visitors are encouraged to take the Better Bag Challenge by pledging to avoid disposable bags for at least one year. Pledgers will receive a free aquarium tote bag sporting the slogan, “This Bag Saves Sea Turtles”. The annual World Oceans Day event is celebrated by organizations across the globe to promote understanding and stewardship of the ocean. The aquarium will be host- ing the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, NOAA Marine Operations (Pacific), USFS Cape Perpetua, Depoe Bay Whale Center with Oregon State Parks, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, and the American Cetacean Society. Each organization will engage visitors with displays Get Results...List With Melody.

WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, spring Chinook, trout Summer steelhead are starting to show up on the Wilson River, and the run will continue to improve over the next month or more.

Light line, small presentations, and fishing the riffles and deep pools at first and last light can increase success. There are still a few spring Chinook available in the Wilson River, although numbers will be low. Bobber and eggs or sand shrimp, drift fishing, back bouncing, and divers and bait are all good techniques for springers; these fish can be finicky but are worth the effort!
