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.

![Our Tide Pool Exploration days start in less than one week! These habitats are incredible, but also very fragile. Here are some tips for exploring like an expert that will come in handy during next week’s low tides;
- Wear weather appropriate clothes and shoes
- Check weather and tide conditions
- Avoid walking on slippery rocks
- Watch for hidden marine life
- Leave habitats undisturbed
- Pick up litter if you see it
- Be gentle with tide pool animals
- Do not pry animals from rocks
- Respect the ecosystem
The tide pools inhabitants and beach goers appreciate your effort to respect this space greatly! Next week we will have experts out on the beach to help everyone have a safe, exciting, hands-on experience.

![Hi! I’m Naomi, and I will be taking over the WEBS account for the next two weeks ? I am studying marine biology at Hawai’i Pacific University and I am spending my summer interning with WEBS here on the Oregon Coast.
I love learning about ocean animals from giant whales to tiny invertebrates and am always happy to share about my experience with all of them first hand. Some of my favorite sea creatures include octopi, nudibranchs, and humpback whales- all three of which I have been lucky enough to see here on the Oregon coast and in Hawai’i. I am always up for a new adventure, rain or shine, deep sea swimming or mountain hikes, dawn or dusk.
I am so excited to be back for my third summer as an intern here, where I’ve gotten to explore our eelgrass beds, forests, salt marshes, and my favorite; our tide pools.
These amazing ecosystems hold so much diverse and beautiful life, and if you are interested in learning about them join us next week for our Tide Pool Exploration days, June 16th, 17th, and 18th]()
