2020 Beach Season Suspended

By -

-- 2020 Season Start, Returning Staff, New Hires, Volunteers, New Director, COVID-19, Truck, Beach Shifts Canceled...There is so much going on lately, so we wanted to blog about it! -- 




Our beach program had a quiet start at the end of February.  -- Returning staff effortlessly jumped back into action, but with some unexpected personal events it became necessary for us to get some help!  -- We've had 7 new community volunteers sign up to help with HRAP. -- Wonderful new interpreters joined our team, right before our new Program Director reported for duty.  -- The new director has taken the helm like a pro, but at the beginning of her tenure COVID-19 began to rapidly unfold.  -- The City has taken the appropriate precautions, and suspended our beach program for the foreseeable future.  -- We know closing the beach isn't an option, but we are asking tidepoolers to please give the animals a break & we'd be happy to have you come back another time. --  Just not right now. -- Take care of yourselves and each other & we hope to get out to the beach as soon as possible ✌💙-- P.S. -- Did you hear we got a new truck?! 💟

Nudibranchs, also referred to as sea slugs, can frequently be spotted in the tidepools at Haystack Rock. There are many species of nudibranch, most having outstanding markings and colors. The nudibranch feed on bryozoans, hydroids and sponges and it's color can be changed by the food it eats.   The nudibranch has a pair of sensory projections on their head, called rhinophores, which allow them to smell and taste. Virtually all nudibranchs have some form of eyes but they are not well developed and in most cases are little more than a pigment spot in the head near the rhinophores.  The nudibranch breathes through gill projections which extract oxygen from the seawater. The Pacific Northwest has more than 200 species of nudibranchs. The Opalescent Nudibranch ( Hermissenda crassicornis ) could be called 'showy'. It is found from Alaska to Baja, California and can grow to two inches in size. At Haystack Rock, it can be found in the sandy bottom of a tidepool. It is slender wit

Spring has sprung at Haystack Rock and with it volunteer and staff Environmental Interpreters are finding loads of eggs and tiny juvenile recruits of different types. There have also been very interesting sightings of more precarious types that come with warmer weather; read our HRAP "nature notes" to learn more.... Tidepool Sculpin, Oligocottus maculosus , eggs  Bright yellow Tidepool Sculpin, Oligocottus maculosus , eggs can be found among the barnacles and mussels, often above the tide pools during low tide. Sculpin can vary in color from red-brown to green  and can grow up to 9cm long. Acorn Barnacle, Balanus glandula , recruits  Tiny, juvenile Acorn Barnacle recruits dot the intertidal like adorable polka dots. These animals have small, white volcano-like shells and are very common in the tide pools at Haystack Rock and elsewhere along the Oregon coast. Barnacle Nudibranchs, Onchidoris bilamellata , and eggs Highly camouflaged Barnacle Nudibranchs
