During the public-comment period, Anne Marie DeStefano of the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection invited residents to "Coastal Futures, the Path Forward," an April 18 presentation at St. Mary By The Sea Parish Hall by University of Oregon master's students on tourism, food systems, erosion, flooding and resilience for North Coast communities.
