Water Quality
The Aquarium works with Surfrider to process local water quality data. Surfrider volunteers collect water samples at a number of central Oregon coast locations. Those samples are brought to the Aquarium where our volunteers and staff process them to determine bacteria counts. All data is provided to the appropriate government agencies and the public.
Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve
The Aquarium is partnering with Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve, Oregon State University, US Forest Service, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Nature Conservancy to document the impacts of climate change in the CHBR and the associated Cascade Head Marine Reserve.
