Creator:: Moore, Jedidiah J.
Abstract:: Cooperative marine fisheries research—the practice of involving the expertise of fishermen and scientists in conducting studies of ocean fishes—has increased gradually over the past 50 years on the US west coast. However, few studies have systematically collected and analyzed the experiences and perceptions of numerous cooperative marine fisheries research project...

Abstract:: Ship tracks have proven to be an ideal laboratory for studying the response of marine stratocumulus to an increase in aerosol pollution. Here the response of already polluted marine stratocumulus to further pollution was examined by studying the clouds where two ship tracks cross. 78 crossings of ship tracks were...

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...

Creator:: Harms, John
Abstract:: Declining harvest levels, static agency research budgets, and increasing tension among scientists, managers, and industry members are the legacy of the present research and management institutions in the West Coast groundfish fishery. Cooperative research, the active participation of the commercial fishing industry in scientific research, is receiving increased attention as...

Creator:: Bilbao, Pablo A.
Abstract:: Past studies of the Oregon and Washington coast have shown a rapid change in the coastal ocean conditions with the onset of upwelling in spring. This process, called the spring transition marks the change from winter to summer conditions along the west coast of Unites States. To examine the interannual...

Creator:: Miller, Stacey D.
Abstract:: Quantitative assessments of many West coast rockfish stocks of both major and minor importance to commercial fisheries have shown varying declines in abundances. The population sizes of less-abundant, co-occurring unassessed species may also be declining. However, determining stock status of the many non-targeted, minor species with high levels of certainty...

Creator:: Keister, Julie Eileen
Abstract:: In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...
