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.

![? SNEAKER WAVE WARNING: Oregon & Washington Coast ?
?OCTOBER 20 through WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22
? Oregon Coast (Clatsop, Tillamook, Central) & South Washington Coast
? Sneaker waves are potentially DANGEROUS waves that surge much farther up the beach than expected and can be a danger to people walking on the beach!
➡These waves can knock you off your feet and drag you into frigid, life-threatening waters
➡Roll heavy logs on the beach, causing serious injury or death
➡Strike even what the water appears calm
? COLD WATER in the Northwest can quickly cause paralysis and make escape nearly impossible. Survivors say the sand and water in clothes can feel like concrete.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
✅Stay well back from the surf — more than you think is necessary
✅NEVER turn your back on the ocean
✅Avoid logs and debris near the water
✅Watch the ocean for 20 minutes from higher ground before heading to the beach
✅Know the tide & surf forecast before you arrive
?Be safe, ?stay alert, and ?respect the power of the ocean.

![? Every beach walk is full of wonder!
As you stroll the shore, have you ever stopped to ask:
? What are those tiny jumping bugs at the ocean’s edge?
? What kind of plants actually like living in the sand?

? And what’s with all the crab shells?
The coastline is full of mysteries—if you pause to notice.

![From waves and wind to wings and wheels! ??✈️
Our Geology & Energy field trip took off at the @tillamookair after a last-minute weather pivot — and it couldn’t have been better.
Big thanks to the Air Museum for saving the day and giving our 4th graders the perfect space to explore rocks, erosion, and energy in action! ⚡️A huge thanks to our wonderful STEAM coach volunteers who bring the learning stations to life. This time we also had George Fox Elementary Educations college students come support our program, as part of a great partnership we’ve built along the years. Team work makes the dream work!]()
