Description
OASeS held the second symposium in May 2024 in Forks, WA. Over 60 attendees gathered to discuss changing ocean conditions on the Olympic Coast. This event was intentionally structured to center on the knowledge and experiences of the four Coastal Treaty Tribes and local communities. Opportunities for audience members to interact and share information wove throughout the meeting. In addition to the latest science, participants learned about climate policy, local adaptation strategies, and innovative education and outreach efforts on changing ocean conditions.
