The evening will also feature the short film: Common Ground: Oregon's Ocean, produced by Greenfire Productions, as well as opportunities to get involved at the local and state level. Food and Beverages will be provided. All are welcome. See you there!
Port Orford Water Quality News
Check out this great article written by one of our great Port Orford locals, Rachel Moore (http://portorfordlocalnews.com/?p=311). Rachel has worked within the community supporting Surfrider and POORT in thier land sea connections for stewardship planning. Rachel's work as an observer has opened her up to a great dialogue with fisherman at sea, where the conversations really matter for the local community. Bridging that sea-going dialouge with terrestrial and nearshore stewardship and outreach efforts through the watershed council and our Blue water task force program has been one of Rachel's recent focal points. Thanks Rachel!
