| Description |
Afrikaans: Die North Spit ACEC is die suidelikste punt van 'n reeks sandduine wat van Florence tot Coosbaai aan die Oregonse kuslyn strek. Die voortdurend veranderende habitat bied 'n tuiste aan 'n wye verskeidenheid soogdiere en voëls, insluitend 'n paar skaars en bedreigde spesies. Tydens 'n strandwandeling kan 'n besoeker 'n visvalk gewaar wat op visprooi afduik, of walvisse wat wasem oor die see blaas. Die volgrootte boothelling is kosteloos vir publieke gebruik toeganklik.
'n Gebied van kritieke omgewingsbelang (ACEC) is openbare eiendom wat spesiale bestuurstoeweiding vereis wat die besondere natuurskoon of belangrike historiese of kulturele meriete daarvan betref, of wat beskerming van die vis en wild, of ander natuurlike stelsels of prosesse benodig. Die Distrik RMP het 580 hektaar van die Spit as 'n ACEC aangewys, hoofsaaklik vir bewaring van die besondere biologiese hulpbronne daarvan. 'n Bykomende 145 hektaar is uit private eienaarskap verkry, wat die ACEC se oppervlak tot 725 hektaar verhoog het. As een van die grootste onontwikkelde sandspitte aan die Oregonse kuslyn, het die nabyheid aan 'n stadsgebied 'n groot vraag na hulpbronne en ontspanningsgeriewe geskep. Die beskerming en bewaring van natuurlike hulpbronne onder BLM-bestuur was noodsaaklik vir die bewaring van die Spit se ryk biologiese gemeenskap. Die Spit is benewens aangewys as 'n ACEC weens die natuurskoon en kulturele en historiese meriete daarvan, tot voordeel van die gemeenskappe van North Bend en Coosbaai. Aanwysings: Uit VS Hoofweg 101 net noord van North Bend, Oregon, word weswaarts na Horsfallstrand in Oregon Duine- Nasionale Ontspanningsgebied afgedraai. Hou regs oor die tweede stel spoorlyne en bly op Transpacific Parkway wat later suidwaarts swenk. Ses myl van die hoofweg word die enigste ontwikkelde area bereik, 'n boothelling met parkeerarea, ablusie en meer inligting. Die Fisiese Adres is gelys as 3031 Transpacific Lane North Bend, OR 97459.English: This North Spit ACEC is the southernmost end of a series of sand dunes extending along the Oregon coastline from Florence to Coos Bay. The ever-changing habitat is home to a wide variety of mammals and birds, including some threatened and endangered species. Strolling along the beach, visitors may glimpse an osprey diving for fish or whales spouting offshore. A full-sized boat ramp is open for public use at no charge.
Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) are public lands where special management attention is required to protect important historic, cultural, or scenic values, fish and wildlife resources, or other natural systems or processes. The District RMP designated 580 acres of the Spit as an ACEC primarily for the conservation of its outstanding biological values. An additional 145 acres were obtained from private ownership, raising the ACEC’s total to 725 acres. As one of the largest undeveloped spits on the Oregon Coast, its close proximity to a populated urban area was creating a high demand for resources and recreational use. Protecting and preserving natural resources under BLM management was determined imperative to the conservation of the Spit’s rich biological community. The Spit was also designated as an ACEC for its cultural and historic resources, and its scenic value to the communities of North Bend and Coos Bay. From US Hwy 101, just north of North Bend, OR, follow signs to Horsfall Beach in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Bear right over the second set of RR tracks and stay on Transpacific Parkway. Six miles will bring you to the only developed area, a boat ramp with parking area, restrooms, and more information. The Physical Address is listed as 3031 Transpacific Lane North Bend, OR 97459. To learn more about this super-cool area head on over to: www.blm.gov/or/resources/recreation/site_info.php?siteid=33 |
