  • Partnership for Coastal Watersheds

    Large-scale changes in land uses and climate-related impacts have the potential to alter the community's quality of life and its long-term economic viability.

    The Partnership for Coastal Watersheds represents a new approach for managing coastal watersheds, and it could provide the local community with a way to anticipate and respond to the local effects of climate and land use changes.  The Partnership's project area is currently focused on the South Slough watershed and several small watersheds that drain to the Pacific Ocean between Cape Arago and Bullards Beach known as the coastal frontal watersheds. 

    The Partnership for Coastal Watersheds is comprised of staff from the South Slough Reserve, the Coos Watershed Association, local landowners, technical advisors, and interested individuals and organizations.

    aquariaSouth Slough Watershed to Oysterbed Exhibit

    Come view this new, exciting exhibit! A series of two aquaria and a terrarium depict the transition from a forested freshwater stream to the shoreline of the estuary and a tidal channel populated by a native oyster bed.  A hand-painted mural by renowned artist Peggy O'Neal provides the backdrop for the exhibit, highlighting elements of the watershed and estuary.
     
    The tanks will feature fish of the estuary including bay pipefish, sculpin, and gunnels. The terrarium will host native ferns and amphibians such as rough-skinned newt, western red-legged and Pacific tree frogs.
