...find out why the Shoreline Management Act says:
"the shorelines of the state are among the most valuable
and fragile of its natural resources"
Friends of Burley Lagoon have announced an opportunity to explore the low minus tides and warm temperatures this weekend. The minus tides will occur near noon on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. In between you can experience a rare "supermoon" rising in the east as the sun sets in the west.
Saturday:
Time - 10AM to 1:30PM
Location - 1502 Lucille Parkway NW, Gig Harbor (Narrows Park)
This is sponsored in part by Harbor Wildwatch in Gig Harbor, will take place at Narrows Park in Gig Harbor, just off of the Narrows Bridge. Experts in the intertidal marine life will be on hand to help identify species and habitat important to all of Puget Sound.
Saturday and Sunday
An unorganized opportunity near Burley Lagoon is available at the boat ramp West of Purdy near where Highway 302 and Goldman Drive NW intersect. Parking is limited so plan ahead.
Supermoon Saturday - 9PM
Near 9PM, if skies are clear, look to the East and see why tonight's moon rise is being called "Super moon Saturday". It is one of three which will occur this year, tonight's being described as looking "30% brighter and 14% closer." For a video on why the "Perigee moon" appears as it does, see a short video on Space.com.
Get out and experience the natural world.
