Sound Waters University Talk

29th Annual Sound Waters University: Resilience– from the Old Growth Trees to the Life of the Salish Sea. The Camano and Whidbey Island Sound Stewards invite you this all-day event to learn about the ability of the Salish Sea ecosystem to withstand and adapt to climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. I’ll be speaking (via Zoom) for an hour about the endangered Marbled Murrelet and the abundant and “watchable” Pigeon Guillemot, two seabirds that inhabit the waters of the Salish Sea and come inland to nest—one on the branches of old-growth trees, the other in burrows in bluffs and rocky crevices. More info on other speakers, classes, and field trips coming soon.

How to Save a Murrelet

The Seattle Audubon Society is holding its October program meeting at the Woodland Park Zoo’s Zoomazium (auditorium). I’ll be talking about now-or-never conservation issues of the marbled murrelet in Washington and explaining why your input on the state’s forest policy is so important right now. In less than an hour, you’ll be fluent in acronyms (BNR, DNR, EIS, ESA, HCP, et cetera), informed on the issues, and inspired to speak out for the protection of this endangered seabird. This will not be boring. Trust me.

Seating is limited, so please reserve your space through Seattle Audubon here.
