COASTAL FUTURES:
Building Resilient Connections Between Ecology & Community in Rockaway Beach, Oregon
Rockaway Beach, OR: On Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM, the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) invites you to St. Mary’s by the Sea for a presentation by Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) students from the University of Oregon (UO). Their research, Coastal Futures, focuses on climate change adaptation strategies for coastal communities in Oregon and is led by Ignacio López Busón, a UO Assistant Professor of Climate Change Resilience.
For the past three months, the students have visited and analyzed Rockaway Beach, meeting with local stakeholders to understand the values and challenges of our local community, including coastal erosion, sea level rise, deforestation, drinking water quality, and urban development. This presentation will showcase their research on sustainable coastal practices and explore paths for long-term resilience.
All community members are encouraged to attend to learn more about coastal sustainability issues and engage in a discussion about planning for a more environmentally and socially resilient future.
Free to attend.
Light refreshments will be provided.
