Adams is a WSU Beach Watcher who starts many of her classes by confessing she is terrified of public speaking. You wouldn't know it because when she gets going on her topic, she is like a kid in a candy store.
Blank is a ranger at Deception Pass State Park and you'll find him at the center of a crowd, too, joyful and enthusiastic, oblivious to the mosquitoes that are eating him alive.Adams and Blank know that healthy beaches are complex communities of plants and animals, often overlooked or abused by thoughtless passers-by. Discovering these communities is the first step to understanding them, which leads to valuing them, then watching for changes, and finally protecting them from harm.
