Restoring the Columbia River Estuary : Chinook Salmon Recovery and Invasive Species Management

Creator:: Klopfenstein, Rachael
Abstract:: As highlighted in this study, shallow-water habitats and the prey they provide are important for juvenile salmon in the Columbia River estuary, but the spread of invasive species and large-scale changes to the estuary influence how these habitats are utilized. Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) (“PHAR” hereafter) is a highly invasive...

Integrating climate change resilience into the monitoring and management of eelgrass (Zostera marina) on Washington’s aquatic reserves

Creator:: Bleke, Erica
Abstract:: Eelgrass (Zostera marina) provides critical ecosystem functions and services and is a vital biogenic habitat on Washington’s marine aquatic reserves but its placement at the land-sea interface leaves it vulnerable to multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors. In this study, published scientific literature is examined to identify thresholds of environmental stressors...

A GIS Evaluation of Land Use Zones and Water Quality for Marine Conservation Site Selection in Lincoln County, Oregon

Creator:: Henderson, Ann Miller
Abstract:: The leasing of submerged and submersible lands is emerging as a new marine conservation method. Using a geographic information system, this study: (1) examines the suitability of estuary tideland sites for conservation leasing in Lincoln County, Oregon, and (2) explores the relationship between adjacent terrestrial land use zones and the...

Nonhuman Livelihoods in the Columbia River Basin: A study of salmon-sea lion-human relations

Creator:: Copeland, Kellen
Abstract:: This work explores contemporary human-nonhuman relations in the Columbia River Basin of the Pacific Northwest United States. Specifically, it draws from Columbia sea lions to illustrate how salmon-sea lion-human relations are entangled in the North American Wildlife Management model of nonhuman genocide. It follows a multispecies ethnographic design where over...

An evaluation of the establishment and continued effectiveness of the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve in Ecuador

Creator:: Asson, Danielle
Abstract:: Conservation of natural resources has become a new watchword of the scientific community. While many terrestrial ecosystems are well protected, marine ecosystems have only recently come to the forefront. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been introduced as a means of protecting biodiversity, commercial stocks, and ecosystem services. There are many...

Climate change adaptation : Information needs, concerns, and behavioral intentions among Oregon Coast professionals

Creator:: Borberg, Jenna
Abstract:: The social and economic impacts of climate change on the Oregon Coast may be reduced if coastal managers begin planning now to put in place adaptation measures. Oregon Sea Grant conducted a web-based survey of Oregon coastal professionals to target climate change adaptation outreach and engagement efforts toward this audience....

Evaluating potential marine reserves in Oregon : assessing community involvement and potential effects to ocean dependent stakeholders

Creator:: Murphy, Melissa
Abstract:: Over the last three decades Oregonians have been engaged in a protracted discussion about Marine Spatial Planning. In the last twenty years the discussion has centered on the protection of Oregon’s natural marine resources and has taken on various labels such as marine gardens, conservation areas, marine sanctuary, and marine...

Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

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...
