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!”
Waterfront Festival (All day)
Look for FOSB and our partners at Waterfront Festival. We'll be in the "Discovery Channel".
Waterfront Festival (All day)
Fidalgo Bay Day & National Estuaries Day (Sat. 27 Aug, 2016 11:00 am - 3:00 pm)
Come celebrate one of our most important estuaries, Fidalgo Bay, a state Aquatic Reserve. This event is open to all ages and has many activities, learning opportunities, and a "Discovery Passport" that can be completed to win a prize.
Fun for the whole family, young and old. Enjoy chowder and seafood samples and watch local citizen scientists as they demonstate a beach seining technique used to survey aquatic animals in the bay.
