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.

![?On April 26th, WEBS hosted our annual Earth Month Beach Cleanup in partnership with @solvepnw and the Oceanside Action Partnership. During this event, 109 volunteers covered WEBS’ entire service area from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares in just one day!
We kicked off the day with a group of high school exchange students who scoured Cape Lookout’s day-use area, hiker/biker campground, and beach. Then we shifted our focus north as volunteer teams set out from Schooner Beach, Oceanside Beach, and Cape Meares Beach. Together, we removed 165 pounds of debris from our coastline!
A huge thank you to @schoonernetarts for their continued support and delicious food, and to our partners at @oregonstateparks, Tillamook County Solid Waste Department, and City Sanitary, for making this event possible.
We can’t wait to do it again—we’ll see you back out there on July 5th! ?
