Olympia Oyster impacts are the topic of next program

Posted

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Library presents “Learning Our Landscape” at 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10.

The program is “Environmental Threats of the Olympia Oyster,” and will be presented by Julieta Martinelli of the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington.

What are polychaetes? How do they threaten the Olympia oyster? The presentation will share the answers to these questions and more about Ostrea lurida – the only native oyster species in the Salish Sea ecosystem.

The program will also include an in-depth explanation of one of the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer’s main job duties — federal, state, and local project reviews — as well as the various laws that drive these reviews. 

Allie Taylor, the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, will talk on the topic.

The program is presented in collaboration with the North Olympic History Center and will be held on Zoom; for information on attending, go to library.jamestowntribe.org/home/ProgramsEvents.
