  • Public perceptions of wave energy on the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Hunter, Daniel A.
    Abstract:
    Oregon’s coastal communities grew from the booming logging and fishing industries of the 19th century, but in recent decades have faced not only major declines in both timber and fish resources but also an increasing reliance on tourists and retirees and the resultant glut of seasonal service-sector jobs. As a...

    Burright, Jeffrey, Clark, Caitlyn E., Johnson, Brandon, and Sharp, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Energy security is a vital but often unmet requirement for community resiliency. Electricity availability is essential to the functioning of the economy, individual households, and the collective essential services that provide health, safety, and the basic human needs to sustain life. Coastal communities in Oregon face special vulnerability because they...

  • Improving community profiles for Oregon fisheries and coastal communities through collaboration

    Creator:
    Package, Christina
    Abstract:
    In an effort to supplement the recently completed NOAA fishing community profiles, three coastal Oregon communities were chosen as sites for a collaborative project designed to produce long-form profiles. In order to provide a representation of the coast Newport, Port Orford, and Garibali, Oregon were included based on community size,...

  • The Oregon Nearshore Research Inventory Project : the importance of science and the scientific research community in marine spatial planning

    Creator:
    Sherman, Kate
    Abstract:
    The purpose of Oregon's Nearshore Research Inventory (NRI) project was to inventory and map the current and future use of Oregon's nearshore environment by the scientific research community for use in Oregon's marine spatial planning process. Spatial and qualitative data on the use of Oregon's ocean and coast by the...

  • Mapping the Political Landscape of Wave Energy Development Off the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Stevenson, John
    Abstract:
    Since 2006 Oregon has promoted the development of wave energy off its coast. While the state may be well suited for the technology because of an abundant wave resource and supporting coastal infrastructure there remain potential barriers to implementing this policy, including uncertainties about the technology and concerns for impacts...

  • Evaluation of dungeness crab pots as platforms of opportunity for ocean-observing research

    Creator:
    Childress, Jeremy L.
    Abstract:
    Oregon Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research (OrFIOOR) is a cooperative research program between ocean scientists and fishermen in the Pacific Northwest. Dungeness crab fishermen attach sensor packages (temperature and dissolved oxygen) to crab pots. The pots serve as platforms of opportunity for ocean observing. This study examines three principle questions...

  • Is wave energy comparatively sustainable in Oregon?

    Creator:
    Yin, Yao
    Abstract:
    This essay provides a snapshot of sustainability and acceptability of wave energy and eight other electricity-generating energy sources in Oregon. Since “sustainability” is an important point of view in decision-making, the paper is centered around the concept. Although there is no consensus on the definition of sustainability in the academic...
