Save these dates for our March Meeting and Ceremony.

March is our month to celebrate successful collaboration in the watershed as we move forward implementing our Watershed Management Plan! At our next Watershed Council Meeting we will hear about the Watershed Protection District’s new tool for successful collaboration as we move toward an Arundo-Free watershed, and much more (stay tuned for the meeting agenda coming soon). Please note that our March 3, 2016 watershed council meeting will be an evening meeting held at 6pm at the Oak View Community Center Kunkle Hall, 18 Valley Road, Oak View CA.
You are also invited to join in celebrating the Happy Valley Bioswale Project on Friday March 4, 2016. Please see the blow invitation and RSVP today!

Coastal Storm Modeling System – CoSMoS Initial Results Webinar Recordings Available

USC Sea Grant, in partnership with the US Geological Survey, held webinars for Southern California coastal practitioners to provide an overview of the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) and preview the initial results. Webinar recordings are available for viewing on the USC Sea Grant website and focus on results for the Santa Barbara/Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego regions. Initial CoSMoS results provide flood hazard zones for a 100-year storm with four sea level rise scenarios, as well as results from the coastal cliff retreat and shoreline change models. Results are available for download on the USGS CoSMoS Website.
