Russian River Estuary Walk 9-15-18

What Happens When the Bar Closes? — The Sandbar, That Is

Many estuaries are characterized by intermittent closure, which is when a sandbar closes the mouth and separates a coastal lagoon from the ocean. In the basin behind the sand barrier, water levels may rise or fall and water quality extremes typically develop. Professor John Largier of Bodega Marine Lab will lead a guided exploration of the Russian River estuary and share knowledge gained from his research. This walk is preceded by a public presentation on September 6th, for which you must register seperately if you'd like to attend.

Level 3- some steep inlclines and/or no trails
