It’s a dynamic gathering where science\, storytelling\, and stewardship meet. This one-night symposium brings together partner organizations\, artists\, scientists\, decision-makers\, and community members to explore the complex challenges and opportunities facing Oregon’s land and sea environments. The ODFW Marine Reserves Team will be tabling at the opening reception and will present about opportunities to get involved in the research underway in the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve in 2026.

Get quizzed on your knowledge of Oregon’s nearshore environments\, coastal geography and oceanography\, and regulations around them\, all while competing for some rad prizes. You are bound to learn a lot and have fun!

Visit their event page to register for the event. \nCape Falcon Marine Reserve is celebrating its 10-year anniversary!! \nJoin us in celebrating this milestone anniversary with two events on Saturday\, February 28\, 2026: \nPart 1: Ask the Experts: Marine Reserves + Killer Whales Panel Presentation\n1:00-2:30pm | North Coast Recreation District\, 36155 9th Street\, Nehalem\, Oregon \nHave you wondered what’s the difference between Orcas and Killer Whales? Or how to recognize the difference between the three different Killer Whale ecotypes? Perhaps you feel pretty confident in knowing that a Killer Whale is a whale- but spoiler alert\, it’s not! (Killer whales are actually the largest members of the dolphin family.) At this Ask the Experts Panel Presentation\, our experts will clarify all of this and more. We will dive into the benefits of Marine Reserves for Killer Whales and other endangered species\, how current research aims to fill the Killer Whale data-gap along the Oregon Coast\, and how you can be an active steward of these important protected areas. And of course\, because this is a 10-year anniversary party- cupcakes will be provided! \nYou can submit questions when registering for this event and the panel facilitator\, Denise Harrington from Oregon Shores\, will ask our experts for you. Or\, bring your curiosity and let the conversation inspire you to ask your questions live. \nPresenting experts will include: \nAngela Whitlock\, Marine Program Manager for the North Coast Land Conservancy\nKatie Darr\, Communications & Engagement Specialist for the Marine Resources Program at Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife\nKevin Campion\, founder of Deep Green Wilderness\nPart 2: Searching for Southern Resident Killer Whales Watch Party\n3:00-4:30pm | Neah-Kah-Nie Viewpoint\, Arch Cape\, Oregon \nAfter becoming a bit of a Marine Reserves and Orca expert yourself\, you are invited to migrate outdoors with us for part 2 of this event. Join us for a Searching for Southern Resident Killer Whales Watch Party from the incredible Neak-Kah-Nie Viewpoint! From here you can take in the extraordinary views while searching for the Southern Resident Killer Whale J-K-L pods. Those who are interested in helping fill the data gap can log their observations to contribute directly to the conservation of one of the ocean’s most iconic endangered species. Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or just passionate about marine life\, your observations could make a lasting impact. \nEvent Location\nPart 1: North Coast Recreation District\, 36155 9th Street\, Nehalem\, Oregon | 1:00-2:30pm \nPart 2: Neah-Kah-Nie Viewpoint | 3:00-4:30pm URL:https://oregonmarinereserves.com/event/ask-the-experts-panel-presentation-and-searching-for-southern-resident-killer-whales-watch-party/ LOCATION:OR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oregonmarinereserves.com/content/uploads/2026/02/10-yrs-Cape-Falcon-Events-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260302T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260302T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T134003 CREATED:20260212T231500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260212T231500Z UID:6718-1772467200-1772474400@oregonmarinereserves.com SUMMARY:Fishing For Science: How You and Your Charter Boat Can Support Research in the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve DESCRIPTION:Calling local captains\, charter offices\, and boat owners!
