What is
WEBS?
Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach, and Sea (you can call us WEBS for short) is the brainchild of the late Jim Mundell, longtime Netarts resident and community leader. Jim dreamed of an organization that would raise awareness, provide learning opportunities, and encourage stewardship of the natural and cultural resources of the Netarts Bay area. WEBS continues his dream to sustain the Netarts Bay area through education and stewardship.
WEBS strives to:
● Use the Netarts Bay area as a learning lab and environmental model for watersheds, estuaries, beaches and seas.
● Build a “learning community” between Cape Meares and Cape Lookout that encourages people to become lifelong learners about the area and engage in stewardship of its rich natural and cultural history.
● Build partnerships with other organizations and people that will increase community pride in this special place and contribute to the vitality of the area.
● Collaborate with local education organizations.
