We are
pleased to have Dr. Mark Hixon present his insights into Oregon’s coastal concerns, including
such topics as invasive species, tsunamis, and ocean warming.
Dr. Hixon is professor of Marine Ecology and Conservation Biology
in Oregon State University’s
Department of Zoology. His expertise is the ecology of coastal marine
ecosystems, and he focuses on what naturally regulates populations and sustains
biodiversity. He recently co-chaired a state-appointed committee that
designed the new marine reserve and protected areas off Cape Perpetua.
