SUMMARY:Nedonna Beach Mile Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Event Description: \nJoin us on February 21st from 10am – Noon as we celebrate TEP’s adoption of Nedonna Beach\, Mile 295 of Adopt-A-Mile Program hosted by Oregon Shores.Throughout the year\, TEP will host Mile Meetups here as part of the Explore Nature Program to monitor Nedonna Beach and submit mile reports to Oregon Shores. We are looking forward to taking on the task of monitoring a piece of coastline that is situated so close to TEP’s critical habitat restoration and Oregon Shore’s conservation advocacy…and we hope you join us in this effort! \nRegistration not required but please sign up if you would like reminder emails and updates about event changes. \nOn February 21st\, we will be meeting at the Nehalem Bay South Jetty Parking Lot. Parking is free and there is a non-ADA accessible porta-potty on site. Pictures of the parking lot and coastline will be posted on the ‘Know Before You Go‘ Page on the Explore Nature website. \nAt the Mile Meetup\, attendees will have the opportunity to: \n\nLearn about the Adopt-A-Mile Program\nLearn the protocol used to monitor and report on a CoastWatch Mile\nHave access to recorded online training\nBe eligible to adopt their own mile of the Oregon Coast after participating in this event.\nLearn about other community science programs CoastWatchers engage in as they walk their miles.\n\nEvent Accessibility: \nAccess to the beach at the north and south ends of this mile requires walking through uneven surfaces and over dry sand. There are occasional access points to the road in the event that someone is unable to complete the mile walk. The only restroom facility is a porta potty at the north end of the mile. \nAbout the Adopt-A-Mile Program: \nThe Adopt-A-Mile Program engages people in documenting Oregon’s sandy beaches and rocky shores for natural and human-caused changes\, wildlife\, and phenomena. Volunteers adopt a mile of the Oregon Coast to observe seasonally. The program offers education about shoreline ecology and natural history and opportunities to contribute data to community science. \nTEP’s Selection of Mile 295: \nTEP has chosen to adopt Mile 295\, just south of Nehalem Bay\, because of its proximity to Jetty Creek- the site of a recent TEP restoration project. In 2025\, TEP received funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) to construct 14 channel-spanning large wood placements in order to support the habitats of ESA-listed coho salmon\, chum salmon\, and coastal cutthroat trout.The project was successfully completed and added 0.7 miles of critical habitat. \nConnection to Oregon Shores’ Work: \nNedonna Beach is also the site of an Oregon Shores appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) challenging a Nedonna Waves development in this fragile and unique wetland which would also threaten Rockaway Beach’s backup aquifer. While LUBA sided with Oregon Shores on all accounts\, the case is still pending and back in LUBA. The initial LUBA ruling underscores not only the importance of upholding land-use protections but also the important role that community scientists continue to play in monitoring the coastline.
