Geared towards teens and adults, but open to all ages. On Saturday, January 3rd, join Oregon Shores and the South Slough Reserve for a day all about Oregon's king tides. King tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth align and the moon or sun is closest to Earth, creating the year’s highest tides. These predictable events offer a glimpse of Oregon’s future coastline as sea levels rise. Together, we'll learn more about these tides and how they help us understand coastal flooding and sea level rise, then we will walk to the Coos Bay Boardwalk to safely observe and photograph the tides.
You can help document how higher ocean levels may impact coastal communities by submitting your photos to the Oregon King Tides Project — a statewide community science effort building a long-term visual record of coastline change.

Dress for the weather and be prepared to walk to the Coos Bay Boardwalk.

Dirigido a adolescentes y adultos, pero abierto a todas las edades.
El sábado 3 de enero, únase a Oregon Shores y South Slough Reserve para un día dedicado a las mareas rey de Oregón. Las mareas rey ocurren cuando el sol, la luna y la Tierra se alinean y la luna o el sol se encuentran más cerca de la Tierra, lo que provoca las mareas más altas del año. Estos eventos predecibles nos permiten vislumbrar cómo será la costa de Oregón en el futuro cuando suban los niveles del mar. Juntos, aprenderemos más sobre estas mareas y cómo nos pueden ayudar a comprender las inundaciones costeras y el aumento del nivel del mar. Después, caminaremos al malecón de Coos Bay para observar y fotografiar la marea.
