  1. Rhythms of Our Coastal Waters: Yaquina Bay Touch here to begin!

  2. Introduction Welcome! Yaquina Bay, the estuary just outside, is an interesting, complex, and ever changing habitat. What is an estuary? Researchers are currently collecting data about the water in the Bay using an instrument named LOBO. What is LOBO? My friends and I live in the Bay, and we are excited to explain this data to you and show you what a fascinating place the Bay is! Touch here to continue

  3. Introduction As a team, my friends and I will walk you through 5 different levels so that you can help us tell the story of Yaquina Bay. Feel free to navigate through levels as you feel comfortable. The levels become more difficult as you progress up the food chain from Level 1 to Level 5. Start here to look at Yaquina Bay’s current salinity. Are you unsure of how to understand line graphs? I would start here. Level 3: Learn how to interpret real-time salinity graphs Level 1: Check out how graphs are built using salinity data Level 4: Challenge your abilities with a rainfall and salinity match-up Level 2: Explore the links between rainfall, river flow, and salinity Level 5: Test your data sleuthing skills to explore Yaquina Bay’s story More info
