Join marine biologists for a low tide adventure collecting scientific data from tidepools in the Cascade Head Marine Reserve.

About this Event

Citizen Science: Participants will be using a mobile app iNaturalist - [Download App] to collect valuable information about the plants and animals living on the rocky shore of the Cascade Head Marine Reserve. The Bio-Blitz will bring citizens and scientists together for an educational and entertaining event exploring the mysteries of the tidepools. All ages are welcome.

Where to Meet:

• Registration will be at the Parking Lot of the Roads End State Recreation Site on Logan Road in Lincoln City, Oregon. After registration make your way down to the tidepools at the most northern edge of the beach. Walk takes about 20-30 minutes.

What to Bring:

• Dress for the weather: wear sturdy shoes, warm clothes, hat, etc.

• Refillable water bottle and snacks for sustenance.

• Spotting scope, binoculars, camera.

• Smart phone with the iNaturalist app already downloaded.

• Your friends, your family, your energy! We need you to make the event a success.

Being Mindful:

• Observe wildlife from a safe distance. Don’t ever interfere with the natural activities of wild animals, including feeding, nesting, sleeping, rearing their young, etc.

• Take photos, not objects. Video and photograph as much as you like, but leave rocks, plants, feathers, and other natural objects where you find them.
