Deeper Dive Volunteer Training: Netarts Bay Formation and Habitats

Netarts Bay is a unique system which is constantly changing. Full of life and rich habitats, this living bay is an incredibly important ecosystem. Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach and Sea is offering an in-depth online training session about Netarts Bay, how the bay formed, how this place has changed over the years, and the habitats within this salty inlet. Discover the common algae species and invertebrates that may be encountered while clamming, kayaking, or exploring along the shore.

This training session will provide great information for volunteers and partners helping with bay related WEBS events, assisting as a science coach on our various school field trips, or for anyone just looking to enhance their knowledge of the local area. There is no volunteer requirement for participating in these training sessions.

The sessions will be led by WEB's own Jim Young, a retired marine biologist. Jim has put together a wonderful, illustrative presentation. The session will be on Sunday, August 29 from 9am to 11:30am.
