# Event Details - **Event Name**: Geology and Tidepool Excursion at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 08:30 am – Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 10:30 am (-07:00) - **Event Description**: In honor of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve's10th Anniversary, join oceanographer Ed Joyce and Marine Program Manager Angela Whitlock for a hike!About this EventTo celebrate CFMR's 10th anniversary, join oceanographer Ed Joyce and NCLC Marine Program Coordinator Angela Whitlock for a hike to Cape Falcon Marine Reserve to learn about Oregon's northern most marine reserve.During this excursion, you'll get to know more about oceanography and the incredible geological processes that create the rocky intertidal. The tidepools found in the intertidal zone are a vibrant natural resource: home to a unique community of marine creatures.Event Details:This outing is approximately 2 miles roundtrip. It requires hiking on uneven ground and traversing sand. There is some elevation gain, and you will visit the shoreline to view tidepools. Pets are not allowed to attend these outings. This event is free and open to the public, registration is required.About the Event Leaders:Ed is an earth scientist, educator, and activist with a Ph.D. in Oceanography (from Texas A&M) and a B.S. in Geology. Research interests span from paleoclimate studies using deep marine fossils to the study of nearshore sediment transport. Ed was a research scientist in the oil and gas industry for over 20 years and taught geology at the University of Houston and the University of St. Thomas in Houston for eight years. Presently, he is adjunct faculty at Clatsop Community College where he has taught geology and oceanography since 2015. Prior to moving to Oregon, while a geologic consultant based in Pennsylvania, he served as president of the Philadelphia chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He is an avid surfer, mountain hiker, snowboarder, and swimmer, and currently serves on the board of Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition.Raised in Portland, Angela Whitlock spent ample time on the coast with her family hiking, camping, biking, crabbing, fishing, and exploring the beaches. She worked as a professional goldsmith for 25 years—a career that enabled her to move to the northern Oregon Coast in 2000. While attending Clatsop Community College, she became the first recipient of the Environmental Steward Certificate through the college, in partnership with Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. She also became involved in volunteer conservation efforts, including marine debris surveys, salmon stream surveys, and CoastWatch’s Adopt a Mile program. In 2020, she joined Cannon Beach’s Haystack Rock Awareness Program (HRAP) as a lead environmental interpreter and became immersed in the world of rocky intertidal habitat, satisfying the longing she felt as a child to be a marine biologist. She joined the Tidepool Ambassador Program (TAP) at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve in 2021 and served two seasons. In March 2023, she started as NCLC’s Marine Program Coordinator, giving her an opportunity to further her passion for coastal conservation. In her leisure time, she enjoys nature journaling; walking outdoors with her dog Cricket; bird watching; and exploring tide pools (she’s still holding out hope to find evidence of the existence of mermaids). - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tillamook-county/geology-and-tidepool-excursion-at-cape-falcon-marine-reserve/100001987868040822 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, Sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tillamook County - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Short Sand Beach - **lat**: 45.7626064 - **long**: -123.9673597 - **full address**: Short Sand Beach, Short Sand Beach, Tillamook County, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Geology and Tidepool Excursion at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/d1785915884cfd53d10ba711321a06923a0ece1809c743a7a1292aaa0fc70c00-rimg-w1200-h675-dc484430-gmir.jpg?v=1777798295 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Geology and Tidepool Excursion at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve being held? - **A:** Geology and Tidepool Excursion at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve takes place on Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 08:30 am to Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 10:30 am at Short Sand Beach, Short Sand Beach, Tillamook County, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Geology and Tidepool Excursion at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve? - **A:** Geology and Tidepool Excursion at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve is organized by North Coast Land Conservancy. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at North Coast Land Conservancy's events? - **A:** Attendees have given North Coast Land Conservancy a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
