Birds and Beaches: A COASSTal Journey in the Pacific Northwest

In the summer of 2013 I ventured across the U.S. Pacific Northwest for 2 months to conduct field research with citizen scientists in the COASST (Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team) project as a part of my dissertation research in the geography department at the University of SC. This blog chronicles my travel along the coasts of 3 states (WA, OR, CA) and invites you to follow along the stories of the places I visited, the people I met, and the beautiful world around me.

COASSTal Education




While out at COASST beach McCurdy Point this morning, I stumbled upon this piece of marine debris under the welcome sign in the North Beach County Park parking lot. COASSTers Marilyn and Vicki hauled this large block of Styrofoam off the beach and decided to use it for an educational tool for other beach visitors. What a neat idea!
