We'll take a few minutes for a business session, but for the most part we'll focus on fun and on fascinating speakers. It's all free, and non-members are definitely invited.
The event kicks off at 10 a.m. in the Hatfield Marine Science Center's auditorium (doors open at 9:30). Featured speaker in the morning will be renowned marine ecologist Bruce Menge of Oregon State University, who will provide an overview of Oregon's rocky shore ecosystems. He will be joined by graduate student Jenna Sullivan, who is studying the impact of sea star wasting syndrome on those intertidal communities. Between them, they will give us the ecological context for CoastWatch's citizen science project to monitor the changing sea star population. The brief business session will take place after this talk (anyone can sit in, although only members can vote).
Lunch is on your own, but space is provided at HMSC for those bringing their own food.
In the afternoon at 1:30 p.m. we'll hear from Rob Suryan, who will discuss the seabirds of the Oregon coast and their role in our marine ecosystems. Dr. Suryan is an Oregon State University senior research professor stationed at the Hatfield Marine Science Center (and also a CoastWatcher, we might note).
Following the afternoon presentation, Volunteer Coordinator Fawn Custer will lead a beach walk and explain CoastWatch's citizen science projects. We'll wind up with a party at the Rogue Brewery at 5:30 (feel free to join us even if you can't attend the meeting during the day), featuring food, drink and presentation by Dr. Bob Cowen, HMSC Director. He will share his project 'The Plankton Portal' an interactive citizen science program for all.

"The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield." ("In Front of Your Nose", Tribune, 22 March 1946)
"It is difficult for a statesman who still has a political future to reveal everything that he knows." (Review of Their Finest Hour by Winston Churchill, New Leader, 14 May 1949)
"Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." ("Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell)
