| | EVENTS | | | Sun May 11 12:00 AM NEW Volunteers Invited to join Oystercatcher Survey |   Black Oystercatcher
Those interested in becoming more deeply involved, especially if they live on the coast near a site, can volunteer to monitor a nest throughout the summer.
Some survey routes, and some nests, may require a challenging hike, while others are easily accessible. The greatest need for volunteers is on the south coast.
For information or to volunteer, contact Claire Welch of the U.S.G.S., (541) 745-3067 or EMAIL.

CoastWatch, a citizen monitoring program, engages Oregonians in personal stewardship over their shoreline. Volunteers adopt mile-long segments of Oregon's coast, keeping watch for natural changes and human-induced impacts, reporting on their observations, and sounding the alarm about threats and concerns.
CoastWatch is founded on individual vigilance and responsibility for one portion of the ocean shore. But the program also links hundreds of 'mile adopters' in a coastwide network of concerned citizens taking action to conserve shoreline resources. CoastWatchers serve as an early warning system not only for the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, but also for neighbors along their miles, local government, regulatory agencies and other conservation groups. |
