Tsunami Debris - When will it hit our shores?

Tsunami Debris Presentation

Tuesday, December 13, Peninsula College will host oceanographers Curtis Ebbesmeyer and Jim Ingraham for a presentation entitled “Tsunami Debris: When Will It Arrive in America?” It will begin at 6:30 pm in Room M125 on the main campus in Port Angeles.

Our chapter is co-sponsoring the event along with the Coastal Watershed Institute.  Curtis Ebbesmeyer will also be analyzing the trash recently removed from the Cape cleanup.

In case you missed the presentation, below you will find the recording:

Net Pens Information

At our November meeting Dave Parks shared information about a proposed commercial aquaculture, fish farming, project on the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  In order to share information about the proposed project and net pens in general, we have created a Net Pens Information Page.  As we continue to find information and more becomes available, we will share via the page.  Currently, you can read through the project proposal, aquaculture standards and best practices and come up to speed on raising commercial seafood, specifically salmon, in net pens.

Thanks and stay tuned for more,
OPC
