Brookings, OR – Southwestern Oregon Community College Curry Campus invites the community to join us on Thursday, February 12, 2026, 1:00 to 2:00 pm, for a presentation by Bill Gorham, marine biologist “Tide Pools of the South Coast of Oregon”.
Bill Gorham is a marine biologist who has been diving, beachcombing, and tide pooling around the world. For the past eight years he’s walked his dogs on the Chrissey Fields beaches more than 4,000 times and photographed a wonderful array of critters, tracks, sea states, and washed-up treasures. He’s keen to share that experience with all others who love the ocean and all its surprises. If you slow down, look down (and up), you will see the little (and big) things that are hiding in plain sight.
This is a free program sponsored by the Friends of Curry Campus and will be held in the Community Room on Southwestern’s Curry Campus, 96082 Lone Ranch Parkway (off Highway 101), Brookings. Bring a friend and a brown bag lunch.
Stay tuned for upcoming talks in our speaker series. Talks during winter term will focus on the nature all around us. For more information contact the Curry Campus at 541-813-1667.
