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: Mixing It Up In Fidalgo Bay - The Role of Watersheds in Creating Productive Ecosystems (Sun. 27 Jul, 2014 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm)
Join Trail Tales docents for an informative and visual narrative that seeks to explain how regional watersheds are an integral part of a large, unique and complex marine ecosystem known as the Salish Sea. Our own Fidalgo Bay is an important part of this larger ecosystem. This highly productive and biologically diverse system is home to many mammals, birds, fish and invertebrates that are critical to the economies and lives of the Pacific Northwest. Trail Tales interpretive walks are free, public walks along a paved handicapped accessible trail.
