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 Walk: Cap Sante Boat Basin - How Boating Shaped the Marina's History & Business (Sun. 8 Jun, 2014 11:00 am - 12:00 pm)
What do the old growth trees of Skagit County, Salish Sea Salmon fishing areas and Bearing Sea cod fisheries have in common? They all took advantage of the deep-water port historically located in Anacortes and helped make it the town it is today. Join us on this walk through the Cap Sante Marina to learn about its rich and fascinating history. Trail Tales interpretive walks are free and open to the public.
