Projecting Future Scenarios for Fidalgo Bay (All day)
Projecting Future Scenarios for Fidalgo Bay - Modeling Water Circulation and Coastal Changes
Dr. Eric Grossman, Research Geologist, U.S. Geological Survey
“Dr. Grossman will discuss how the US Geological Survey is using powerful 3D computer modeling to examine coastal processes and inform ecosystem restoration and hazard mitigation in the Salish Sea. How might climate change, sea level rise and land use influence coastal communities, ecosystem restoration outcomes, and Fidalgo Bay? Learn how USGS is constructing a 3D hydrodynamic model of Fidalgo Bay as part of a larger Salish Sea model to study these questions. Citizen science can help USGS and its partners improve these models through research and monitoring – find out how you can get involved as a volunteer!”
Trail Tales Lunch & Learn: Cap Sante Waterfront - Cleaning Up the Neighborhood (Wed. 28 May, 2014 11:00 am - 12:30 pm)
Take a lunch break with our Trail Tales docents and join one of our new Lunch & Learn interpretive walks. This walk will visit three cleanup sites around the Cap Sante boat basin to learn about the history of these sites and their environmental restoration under a partnership between the Port of Anacortes and Dept. of Ecology's Toxics Cleanup Program. Bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy while we discuss the largest cleanup site, which is now a beautiful park on the shore of Fidalgo Bay. Representatives of Ecology and the Port will join this walk to share their perspectives. These three cleanup sites are all part of the Dept. of Ecology's Anacortes Baywide Cleanup.
