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!”
Ocean Frontiers Film Screening (Tue. 22 Apr, 2014 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm)
Join us to Celebrate Earth Day at a screening of the inspiring documentary "Ocean Frontiers".
Location: Skagit Valley College
2405 E. College Way, Mt. Vernon
Sponsored by Skagit Valley College Program Board, Friends of Skagit Beaches, and Skagit County Marine Resources Committee, this documentary shares inspiring stories of how diverse groups of individuals from industry, governments, and coastal communities across the country have worked with each other to address marine issues and promote stewardship of our important ocean and shoreline resources while supporting local economies.
The film screening will be followed by an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and discuss the film with representatives from Skagit County marine stewardship programs.
Ocean Frontiers was provided to sponsors at no cost by Green Fire Productions and made possible by grants from The Campbell Foundation, The Lazar Foundation, National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and National Marine Protected Areas Center.
