Dr. Carrie Garrison-Laney, Tsunami Hazards Specialist and PMEL Liaison with Washington Sea Grant, discusses latest tsunami models and historic tsunami deposits in the North Sound Area. John Gargett, Deputy Director for the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management and Communications, describes Whatcom County's tsunami alert system and response plan.

This virtual forum was organized by the Whatcom Watershed Information Network (WWIN) and the Whatcom Marine Resources Committee (MRC) to help community members learn about drought vulnerability and preparedness in Whatcom County, and drought contingency planning at the federal, state, and local levels. This forum featured speakers from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Washington State Department...

Monitoring programs are an essential part of habitat restoration and protection efforts, as monitoring lets managers know if sites are doing well or if there are issues that need to be addressed. The Cherry Point Aquatic Reserve has a team of volunteers who work diligently to collect data on intertidal biota, beach substrate, and beach slope across 4 sites in the reserve. Since 2013, this monit...

An open discussion about how to apply what we know and what we need to know in order to effectively manage local marine resources with panelists Carl Weimer, Robert Warinner, and Nathalie Hamel. Facilitated by Eleanor Hines. Carl Weimer is currently the Special Projects Advisor of the Pipeline Safety Trust. From 2003 until recently he was the Executive Director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, whe...

Changing ocean conditions, such as ocean acidification, hypoxia, and ocean warming, are impacting marine ecosystems and posing a variety of immediate and future challenges for natural resource managers and affiliated industries. In order to successfully facilitate adaptation and mitigation responses to changing ocean conditions, research efforts and synthesis products should be developed in col...

Searching for Alexandrium & Hooligans: Salish Sea Research Center applies molecular methods to inform communities about microalgae & forage fish. At the Salish Sea Research Center, we use environmental DNA (eDNA) and qPCR techniques to detect and quantify microalgae and forage fish in both Bellingham and Lummi Bay. eDNA is genetic material (DNA) released by organisms in the environment. Quantit...

The Cherry Point Aquatic Reserve was once a key spawning area for genetically distinct Cherry Point herring (Clupea pallasii). However, the population abundance of Cherry Point herring has declined over 96% since 1973, and their spawning grounds have contracted to small areas primarily around Birch Bay, WA. Spawn deposition surveys are regularly conducted in this area, but data gaps exist on gr...

The heatwave that impacted the Pacific Northwest in late June 2021 was the most extreme on record and coincided perfectly with one of the lowest day-time tide series of the year. This unlikely combination of extreme air temperatures and low tides proved to be deadly for many intertidal communities within the Salish Sea, where peak low tides occurred during the hottest afternoon hours. While int...

Rebounding pinniped populations have led to renewed conflicts with fisheries over access to commercially important prey species. Non-lethal management tools, such as acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs), are commonly used to mitigate predation and aid the recovery of depleted fish stocks. However, most ADDs utilize painful sound signals, which can lead to hearing loss, habituation, and injury to n...

Invasive European green crabs (EGC), Carcinus maenas, can significantly alter marine ecosystems by diminishing nearshore habitat and consuming and competing with native species, threatening culturally and economically important shellfish and Dungeness crab. Since their initial discovery in Whatcom County in 2019, EGC have been found in Drayton Harbor, Birch Bay, Lummi Bay, Squalicum Harbor, and...

How Things Came to Be. Tammy Cooper-Woodrich, Nooksack Tribal Elder and Storyteller, and her daughter Angela Letoi will inspire a sense of place with stories passed down through generations explaining how things came to be. "The Creator created the animals and they became our teachers. Storytellers pass the ancestral knowledge along through the ages. Today is my time to pass the knowledge along...

Learn about the Coastal Storm Modeling work that is being done for Whatcom County and new efforts to assess coastal habitat vulnerabilities to sea level rise from Dr. Eric Grossman, Research Geologist with the US Geological Survey, and Dr. Ian Miller, Coastal Hazards Specialist with Washington SeaGrant.
