Last night, with a unanimous motion from Newport City Council, the Oregon Coast Aquarium youth volunteer's and Newport Chapter of Surfrider's winter storm water awareness project was approved. Tonie Vinson, Mechell Bailey and Olivia Ponce joined forces this year marking our third annual Newport Chapter of Surfrider Foundation/Aquarium Youth Volunteer winter water quality project. This year's project: storm drain art. The girls did a fantastic job of putting together a proposal for city council and locating the best available sites, artist renderings and developing a powerpoint to present to Newport mayor and councilors. Pictured at right are youth volunteers Tonie Vinson and Mechell Bailey, who presented the project at the Newport City Council meeting last night. Great job ladies!
