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: Native & Introduced Plants and their Animal Companions (Sun. 18 May, 2014 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm)
If you have wondered about the flora and fauna along the shore of the Tommy Thompson Trail, join Trail Tales docents for some plant identification and interesting facts about the animals that use the plants. Some of the plants are native, others introduced by Coast Salish people and Europeans. The walk is suitable for children and history buffs, Anacortes residents and visitors alike.
