This weekend is the first round of the Oregon King Tides. Head out to photograph the highest tides of the year November 4th-6th (you can use your photos for a contest we're hosting soon). These images help document coastal changes in the coming decades as sea levels rise due to climate change. Join a local meetup! 👇

Pet Owners + Visitors: The coast is seeing an increased number of stranded sea lions due to leptospirosis, a bacteria that can spread when an animal comes in close contact. It can sicken your pets, and rarely, transfer to humans. If you see a beached sea lion, please keep your pets at a distance (at least 50 ft away) and report them to OSP at 1-800-452-7888.

Documenting King Tides helps to create a record of changes in our shoreline and visualize the impacts of high water to roads, buildings, and wildlife habitats. Learn more to get ready for our King Tides and Winter Waterways Photo Contest on Nov. 13th: www.oregonkingtides.net.
