The\u00a0OSU150 Sea Grant Festival<\/a>\u00a0will take place in Corvallis, Portland, Newport, Port Orford, Coos Bay and Astoria. It will include presentations by scientists, tours of the Hatfield Marine Science Center, a taste test of fresh versus frozen fish, and screenings of an OSU-produced documentary about coral reefs.\u00a0Information about the events<\/a>\u00a0is online. Some have limited capacity and require registration.<\/p>\n

Some of the talks and tours will be offered by people who either work for Oregon Sea Grant or whose work has been funded by the program, which has been based at OSU since 1971.<\/p>\n

\u201cOregon Sea Grant works on many issues facing our coast, from engaging with the fishing industry to helping communities prepare for hazards,\u201d said the program\u2019s director, Shelby Walker. \u201cWe serve as a neutral third party, bringing people together and providing the science and information they need to make informed decisions. We also fund marine-related research at universities throughout Oregon, have more than a dozen Extension specialists along the coast and in Corvallis, and operate the public education wing of the Hatfield Marine Science Center.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
