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!”

“Sounds in the Salish Sea”
Scott Veirs, PhD, oceanographer, president, Beam Reach Marine Science & Sustainability School, Seattle, WA
The recent Friends of Skagit Beaches film, “Sonic Sea,” highlighted three ocean noise sources: sonar, seismic exploration, and ships. Learn more about these and other noises in the Salish Sea. Join us to hear about how submarine noise and other human activities have biological impacts on marine species that use sound to survive.
