COURTESY PHOTO Erosion from high surf is etched in the beach heads near Cape Perpetua. Graduate Research Fellow for the National Science Foundation Dorothy will talk about the plastic pollution prob- lem in the ocean, how it breaks down into micro- plastics as well as other sources of microplastic pol- lution. She will share the detri- mental effects she has found and discuss the dan- gers to marine and possible human health effects. She will also discuss how this is not only a health issue but an economic one for folks that depend on the ocean for their livelihood and there are many things we can do to combat plastic pollution. • Saturday, Dec. 15, 1 p.m. Orcas of the Oregon Coast Colleen Weiler — WDC Fellow, Rekos Fellowship for Orca Conservation: Killer whales, also known as orcas, are perhaps the most widely recognized kind of whale or dolphin in the world. With their dis- tinctive black-and-white coloring, tall dorsal fins, and reputation as fearsome hunters, everyone knows what an orca is and how they live — or do we? There is a lot more hap- pening beneath the waves than first meets the eye. With at least ten different types of orcas found in the world’s oceans and a long history of separation by appearance, diet, and cul- ture, we may not know orcas as well as we think we do. Three distinct kinds of orcas can be found off the coast of Oregon, separated by their favorite foods, social lives, and migratory patterns. Join us to learn about the orcas of the Oregon Coast and how Oregonians can get involved in their surviv- al. • Saturday, Dec. 22, 1 p.m. How Rising Sea Levels Would Affect the Estuaries along the Central Oregon Coast Fran Recht — Habitat Program Manager, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission Recht will describe anal- yses done for the Newport- based MidCoast Watersheds Council about the impacts of Sea Level Rise on Oregon's tidal wet- lands. The project assessed the extent of inundation that would occur in Oregon’s estuaries under five different sea level rise scenarios. Maps and graphs of local estuaries will help to clarify areas of vulnerability and where and to what extent tidal marshes will survive. • Sunday, Dec. 23, 1 p.m. Alsea Tribal Life at Cape Perpetua Prior to European Contact Dick Mason — Cape Perpetua Volunteer Learn about the pre-Eu- ropean inhabitants of Cape Perpetua from one of Cape Perpetua’s exceptional vol- unteers. • Saturday, Dec. 29, 1 p.m. Kevin Bruce/Molly Kirkpatrick — Siuslaw National Forest Archaeologists Join Forest Service archaeologists for an after- noon speaking session.
