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.

![Every month, WEBS marine debris volunteers walk the beach for science!
At our November survey, we catalogued and removed over 100 pieces of trash from our survey area at Happy Camp Beach, and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset as we finished our final transect.

![Last month, our 5th-grade Cells to Ecosystems field trip took students from single-celled phytoplankton to the impacts of ocean acidification, highlighting the incredible complexity of life in Netarts Bay. Held in partnership with @tsd9_naturalresources, students conducted plankton tows, crab dissections, investigated microscopic life, explored the rocky intertidal zone, and toured the Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery. Back in the classroom, they extended their learning by graphing the crab data they collected to uncover patterns in where crabs live.
We’re grateful for the stunning images from @venturingvows and for our wonderful STEAM Coach volunteers who helped ignite the curiosity these young scientists brought to every step of the experience!

![Due to high winds, last week’s redwood planting event at Cape Lookout was rescheduled, which means you have another chance to sign up!
?Wednesday, November 5th
⏲ 2pm-4pm
?Cape Lookout State Park
We’ll be planting a test grove to see how redwoods do at Cape Lookout. We are north of their normal range, but with climate change, conditions in our area are likely to become more favorable for redwoods as heat, drought, and fires threaten the southern end of their range. We’ll be planting on the North Trail at Cape Lookout, where several fallen trees have caused trail closures over the last couple of years. With their strong, rot resistant wood, we hope that redwoods will be a sustainable choice for this area.
