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.

![? Meet the Scientists Behind Our Eelgrass Exploration
One of the greatest strengths of WEBS is our incredible community of scientists who generously share their time, knowledge, and passion with our community.
During our recent eelgrass exploration in Netarts Bay, participants had the opportunity to learn from three amazing experts: Dr. Allie Tissot, Kim Brown, and Katalin Plummer. In this video, they introduce themselves and share how they became connected with WEBS.
We’re so grateful for scientists like Allie, Kim, and Katalin, who help make marine science accessible and inspire curiosity in learners of all ages. Their research and expertise deepen our understanding of Netarts Bay and help connect our community to the ecosystems we all care about.

![Trumpet worms! We got to see lots of these cool tube worms last week, and witness their quick escape skills. These beautiful red blooms emerge from their white tube casings to filter feed, catching tiny organisms as they drift by while the tide is up. When it’s low, we get to see them! These little guys can be out and about hoping for some food to snag, but they are also incredibly fast when they need to be, as shown in this video. Look closely for this hidden gem next time you visit the tide pools ??
