Coastal Climate Change Adaptation Project Hosts Wetlands Ecologist

The Coastal Climate Change Adaptation Project features Mary Kentula, a Wetland Ecologist from the US EPA Western Ecology Division January 17 at 5:30 p.m. The free event is in the second floor meeting room of the Newport Visual Arts Center. Kentula’s research includes monitoring and assessing wetlands at the regional and watershed scales, and restoration ecology of wetlands. She will speak about “Wetlands in the Landscape: Profiles as a Template for Decision Making,” and will address how wetlands function in the landscape and how decision making can impact the services provided. She will also discuss how information, like that collected for the Yaquina Estuary Conservation Plan Atlas, could be used to learn about the local landscape and provide insights that can guide decision making.
