COASTAL FUTURES:
Building Resilient Connections Between Ecology & Community in Rockaway Beach, Oregon
North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) invites you to the St. Mary by the Sea Parish Hall in Rockaway Beach on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 12:00 noon for a presentation by Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) students from the University of Oregon (UO). Their research project, entitled Coastal Futures, focuses on climate change adaptation strategies for coastal communities in Oregon and it’s led by Ignacio López Busón, a UO Assistant Professor of Climate Change Resilience. (St. Mary by the Sea is located at 275 S. Pacific St. in Rockaway Beach, Oregon.)
For the past three months, the students have visited and analyzed Rockaway Beach, meeting with local stakeholders to understand the values and challenges of the local community. Some of these challenges include coastal erosion, sea level rise, deforestation, drinking water quality, and urban development. This presentation will focus on their research regarding sustainable coastal practices and explore paths for long-term resilience. Everyone who is concerned about these issues is invited to attend to learn more about coastal sustainability and to engage in a discussion about planning for a more environmentally and socially-resilient future.
There will be no charge to attend. Bread from Wolfmoon Bakery and soup from Manzanita Wild will be served.
Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 12:00 noon (doors open at 11:30 a.m.)
