Through these meetings, tribal leadership have identified new policy representatives for the Intergovernmental Policy Council given leadership and staffing changes. The sanctuary lies within the Usual and Accustomed treaty fishing, hunting, and gathering areas of the Hoh Tribe, Makah Tribe, Quileute Tribe, and the Quinault Indian Nation. These four tribes are often referred to as the Coastal Treaty Tribes. As sovereign nations, the Coastal Treaty Tribe have reserved treaty rights and are co-managers, along with the state of Washington and the United States, of fishery and related marine resources off the Olympic Coast. ________________________________ Canadian partners help recover lost mooring from remote beach Thanks to the generous support by staff from Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Canadian Coast Guard, and the Carmanah Lightkeeper, lost mooring instruments that were deployed to record underwater sound in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary were recently returned to sanctuary staff. The ‘SoundTrap’ mooring had been deployed in the outer Strait of Juan de Fuca near Neah Bay (site OC-01) on July 31, 2020 for a four to six month time period. The mooring broke free of its anchor and was carried away by strong currents typical in the area. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248785/4608688/recovered-moorings_crop.jpg> More than two years later, coastal hikers on Vancouver Island’s remote Pacific Rim National Park trail spotted the remains of the mooring and shared a photo with collaborators, who reached out to sanctuary staff. Rapid coordination efforts with Canadian partners resulted in the engagement of the Lightkeeper at Carmanah Head, who was able to quickly access the site and recover instruments before they were washed to sea again. A scheduled helicopter visit from the Canadian Coast Guard the following week enabled transfer of the equipment to Victoria, BC, where NOAA Corps LTJG Haley Glos was able to retrieve the gear on a short international day trip on the M/V Coho ferry, which leaves from a pier adjacent to the sanctuary’s office in Port Angeles, WA. Any data that can be recovered from the instruments will be added to the growing repository of underwater sound information available on the SanctSound data portal <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1 NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NhbmN0c291bmQuaW9vcy51cy9zX29jbm1zLmh0bWw_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc2 91cmNlPUdvdkRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.t-OnjbdvICRke3-AxX9LkiFVBn2twNwQtIFvW-BJOjU/s/1473955212/br/155812411121-l> . ________________________________ Olympic Coast NMS staff represents the Sanctuary System at NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program community meeting Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary staff attended the Ocean Acidification (OA) Program meeting in San Diego, CA to present information about sanctuary research and oceanographic monitoring and relayed recent progress related to the Olympic Coast OA sentinel site <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkI joiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29seW1waWNjb2FzdC5ub2FhLmdvdi9wcm90ZWN0L29jZWFuLWFjaWRpZmljYXRpb24tc2VudGluZWwtc2l0ZS5odG1sP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Hb3ZEZWxpdmVyeSJ9.1v0 ZH5dQ9ZIPGjaGlqTuJoc7Yl0ZsGA3wQBS6LjDkZk/s/1473955212/br/155812411121-l> . The meeting agenda included sessions on observing ocean changes, multiple stressor investigations, technological advancements and regional vulnerability assessments to OA, as well as strategic planning exercises with respect to the OA research plan and opportunities stemming from the recent reauthorization of the FOARAM Act <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29jZWFuYWNpZGlmaWNh dGlvbi5ub2FhLmdvdi9faXdnb2EvQWJvdXQuYXNweD91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9R292RGVsaXZlcnkifQ.uUGV-DxkGpeiHxpKA9ZWTyyWrgwXQL3Dhb4JDRKUrGo/s/1473955212/br/155812411121-l> . In addition to the opportunity to deepen connections with existing partners, staff were able to make valuable connections with new potential collaborators and technologists likely to benefit the sanctuary with respect to mooring technology, real-time data delivery, and Federal data archiving workflows. The meeting is held every three years to facilitate communications among researchers and program leadership and foster additional collaborations. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248802/4608729/gaps-oa-research-wordcloud_crop.jpg> Meeting participants contributed to a word cloud identifying priority OA research gaps. ________________________________ Students learn about ocean issues, take action, and explore careers! <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248798/4608730/qts-planting-cedar-tree-jpg_crop.png> Sanctuary Washington Service Corps AmeriCorps member Brendon Rager conducted a series of visits to Quileute Tribal School during the first three weeks of January to teach students about ocean acidification. After the initial lessons, the students were given a performance task, developed by sanctuary staff, that allowed students to conduct additional research and then demonstrate what they learned through presentations to their peers. Students displayed a keen interest in brainstorming solutions to address ocean acidification. The students and their teacher, Alice Ryan, decided to take action by planting a cedar tree that the school had been gifted by members of the community. The students dug up a spruce tree on school grounds to plant next to the cedar tree to protect it until it grows larger. Planting the tree demonstrated the students’ understanding of stewardship and recognizing their ability to take action in a changing world. Brendon also visited Neah Bay High School to engage students in fun interactive activities that focus on the different careers and people who work at the sanctuary. During the activity, students take an active role in planning their own ocean science mission including determining the personnel, equipment, and transportation necessary to complete the mission while staying within the parameters of a budget and the changing weather condition. ________________________________ Celebrating Humpback Whale Appreciation Month! In celebration of Humpback Whale Awareness Month in February, Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary education team joined the Coastal Interpretive Center <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ idWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ludGVycHJldGl2ZWNlbnRlci5vcmcvP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Hb3ZEZWxpdm VyeSJ9.5timjxVhTJh53l3xusq4M4B2s6NgdjW2buh8AEsV4l0/s/1473955212/br/155812411121-l> in Ocean Shores to host a series of events, including school and public presentations. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248832/4608731/humpback_crop.jpg> The sanctuary education team provided humpback whale presentations to approximately 75 4th and 5th grade students at Ocean Shores and Pacific Beach schools. The presentations included visits from "Big Mama" the life-sized, walk-inside model of an actual humpback whale with the same name. Students learned about the characteristics, behaviors, migration patterns, and vocalizations of humpback whales, and their presence in the Pacific Northwest. Following the 4th and 5th grade presentations, hundreds of the elementary school students from other grade levels joined in for more informal engagement and learning with Big Mama. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248853/4608732/presentation-in-ocean-shores_crop.jpg> In the evening, Jack Barkowsi, Research Biologist for Cascadia Research Collective, presented “Humpback Whales in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Soundscape” during a co-hosted speaker series. The presentation focused on the sounds that humpback whales are making as they spend time in the waters of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Approximately 30 adult learners and a few youths joined Barkowski to explore the patterns in vocal behavior to try to better understand how humpback whales use this important foraging ground. ________________________________ Conversations with Sanctuary Superintendent on Current Issues Conversations with the Sanctuary Superintendent on Current Issues was presented by Sanctuary Superintendent Kevin Grant during the first of the 2023 co-hosted virtual Speaker Series events with Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and Feiro Marine Life Center. <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDgsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoi MjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ZlaXJvbWFyaW5lbGlmZWNlbnRlci5vcmcvP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Hb3ZEZWxpdmVyeSJ9.xrs9Mnb9WQXag-HZkmKW8GPlpXSzYF5RAS8fUfusK8E/s/1473955212/br/15 5812411121-l> The webinar recording <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDksInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NhbmN0dWFyaWVzL m5vYWEuZ292L2VkdWNhdGlvbi90ZWFjaGVycy9jb252ZXJzYXRpb25zLXdpdGgtc2FuY3R1YXJ5LXN1cGVyaW50ZW5kZW50Lmh0bWw_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPUdvdkRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.YI3tAHBzi_fsWpnSYfa5e0ajhr-TZNlruYrWfYwr 28A/s/1473955212/br/155812411121-l> is available to learn more about the sanctuary, current issues, our work, and a focus on how people can participate in formulating the next management plan. ________________________________ <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248816/4608733/day-of-service_crop.jpg> Martin Luther King National Day of Service In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Brendon joined Port Angeles School District AmeriCorps for a Martin Luther King Day of Service to host a community art project.

Before heading to Neah Bay on Makah Indian Reservation to see the sanctuary, they enjoyed a tour of Olympic Coast Discovery Center. Next stop was a tour of Makah Museum, along with a behind the scenes tour in the artifact warehouse - a special honor provided by Janine Ledford, Executive Director. In the afternoon, they went to Cape Flattery overlook to get a first-hand look at Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, along with a brief sighting of a humpback whale among the wildlife spotted. As a NOAA Teacher at Sea Alum, Denise Harrington is conducting a one-year fellowship with NOAA Offices on educational projects, to support the alumni association, and to develop an independent project using NOAA resources, including working with the West Coast Region sanctuaries education team to develop K-12 education content focused on blue carbon. A special thank you to Denise Harrington and to all teachers for the great work you do!

And for more than ten years, a small team of biologists has visited Destruction to monitor how the auklets are faring. The northeastern Pacific where Destruction Island sits is one of the most productive ecosystems on the planet, but this part of the sea-world has of late experienced a variety of shifts and upheavals. Are all these shifts and upheavals abnormal? Or are they the new normal? In this talk, biologist Eric Wagner will discuss the ongoing research on the rhinoceros auklets of Destruction Island (and beyond), and talk about what these furtive birds can show us about the larger world in which they try to make their living. <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAzMDguNzI5NDU0NTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2F0dGVuZGVlLmdvdG93ZWJpbmFyLmNvbS9yZW dpc3Rlci8zODU0NTUzOTQ0Mjk4MDYxNDAwP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Hb3ZEZWxpdmVyeSJ9.nuyqJWorClWBtvPTo5W2Fhpti1GFXqZWpSKglOfQMf4/s/1473955212/br/155812411121-l> ________________________________ Climate Change and Ocean Acidification Resource Collections Webinar <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USNOAANOS/2023/03/7248860/4608735/crab_crop.jpg> Today’s rapidly changing climate will continue to challenge our planet now and in future generations.

Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.” – Dave Barry
