OREGON COAST AQUARIUM - LIVE CAMS - SHARKS - OTTERS - SEA BIRDS - FOSSILS

OREGAN COAST AQUARIUM 

Special this summer is FOSSILS.  Go to the site and you can get a SNEAK PEAK.  CRUSIN the FOSSIL COASTLINE will include the art of Alaskan Ray Troll and Dr. Kirk Johnson, paleontologist, will show you the results of a long search for fossils.

Reading about their show, I'm reminded of my geography class.  Learn about volcanoes, land slides, glaciers, ice sheets, and other earth changes that effected the Oregon Coast.

SALMON and RIVERENE FISH - DAM DEMOLITIONS LEADS TO NATURAL HABITATS

LA TIMES : LARGE DAMS TO BE DEMOLISH - A VICTORY FOR FISH 

Excerpt: If it goes forward, the deal would revive plants to remove four massive hydroelectric dams on the lower Klamath River, emptying giant reservoirs and reopening potential fish habitation that's been blocked for more than a century.  The massive project would be at the vanguard of a trend toward dam demotions in the U.S. as the structures age and become less economically viable amid growing environmental concerns about the health of native fish.
