Dr. Ian Miller will present Coastal Response to Dam Removals on the Elwha River: Present and Past on Friday, September 28 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Landing Mall Conference Room at our regular lecture series.
Two dams on the Elwha River disrupted the flow of sediment to the Strait of Juan de Fuca for nearly 100 years, contributing to erosion of the Elwha River delta, and altering coastal habitat. Researchers are tracking how the ecosystem responds to the restoration of this sediment as dam removal progresses. This talk will provide a "status report" on how the coastal zone is responding to the dam removal.
Please call Feiro at 360-417-6254 if you have any questions.
