OREGON INSTITUTE OF MARINE BIOLOGY--A SPECIAL PLACE

University of Oregon has been teaching and conducting research in marine biology on the southern Oregon coast since 1924, when summer classes traveled to Sunset Bay and used tents for dormitories and laboratories. In 1928-29, a portion of the Coos Head Military Reservation was selected as the permanent site for the University's marine program and in 1931 over 100 acres of the Reservation, including some Army Corps of Engineers buildings, was deeded to University of Oregon. OIMB offers access to an unusual range of habitat diversity. Much of the Oregon coastline is steep, with rugged sea cliffs and headlands leading sharply up to the Coastal Ranges. In comparison to the east coast of the United States, estuaries and sand beaches are rare along the active margin of the west coast. Our speaker this month invites you to explore the opportunities for scientists and the general public. To learn more:
