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!”
New Sign Dedication Celebration & Guided Walks to New Discovery Points (Sat. 13 Jun, 2015 10:00 am - 12:00 pm)
Join us for the dedication of our new Trail Tales interpretive signs along the northwest shore of Fidalgo Bay. Meet at Seafarer's Memorial Park for refreshments and a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by Friends of Skagit Beaches, Anacortes Park & Recreation Department, and the Port of Anacortes. We invite you to stay for a guided Trail Tales interpretive walk following the ceremony at 10:30 am or you can visit the new Discovery Points at your own pace with our new trail map in hand. From 10:30 am – 12 pm docents will be present at the new Discovery Points ready to share interesting facts and stories. The Marine Technology Center, a new Discovery Point location, is hosting an open house in conjunction with the celebration. The walk route is flat, paved and handicapped accessible.
