| Notes | This abstract describes a unique educational initiative for Lincoln City students in grades 7-12. The students experienced presentations on the history of the Salmon River estuary and its restoration, as well as learning the importance of estuaries in ecology. “This presentation will explore the confluence of art, education and ecology with places of ecological and inspirational significance. Creating art that serves the holistic messaging needs of biological conservation education; reuniting Oregon’s coastal estuaries play a critical role in the life histories of salmonids and other species. While agricultural conversion has reduced the productivity of many Oregon estuaries, the restoration of environments such as the Salmon River Estuary within the Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve, represent a vital opportunity to study and showcase the role these new anthropogenic changes have made for fish and future generations.” (from the Abstract) The conference was held March 5-8, 2019 in Bend, Oregon. |
