Beach Watchers

A purple sea star (Pisaster ochraceus) awaits the tide among the algea at Yachats State Park on the Oregon Coast.

We are volunteers dedicated to protecting the Salish Sea through education, research and stewardship.

We have been trained by state, regional, and local experts through a rigorous training program overseen by Washington State University Extension.
