Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Archer, Pamela Emily
Abstract:: Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

Determinants of public opinion on renewable energy : the case of wave energy development in Oregon

Creator:: Stefanovich Petrova, Maria A.
Abstract:: Renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar, and wave, have a number of advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels. Numerous studies attest to the physical potential for wave energy development in Oregon. In transitioning from conventional fossil fuel to alternative energy provision, citizen understanding of the global energy problems and...

Mapping and lithologic interpretation of the Territorial Sea, Oregon

Creator:: Agapito, Melinda T.
Abstract:: Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...

Mapping a path to sustainable utilization of bay clam resources in Oregon’s 21st century estuaries : an investigation into the potential of Oregon’s commercial bay clam fishery : Report to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon Commercial Bay Clam Industry

Creator:: Endreny, Polly A. and Sylvia, Gil
Abstract:: This study was commissioned and funded by the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station (COMES) to 1) identify the scientific and management issues constraining the advancement of the Oregon bay clam commercial industry, 2) explore scientific, management, and economic opportunities for the enhancement of the fishery, 3) outline and suggest mechanisms...

Habitat mapping and identifying suitable habitat of Redfish Rocks Pilot Marine Reserve, Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Amolo, Rizaller C.
Abstract:: Establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been documented to effectively manage marine resource's diversity and enhance fisheries productivity. However, there must be a critical consideration of how these sites are selected and the actual description of the site itself. Its effectiveness is greatly dependent on understanding these habitats and...

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...

Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

Creator:: Barr, Julie M.
Abstract:: Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

Investigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) transport by suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the lower Columbia River and its estuary

Creator:: Gregg, Tiffany
Abstract:: This study aims to improve knowledge of how suspended particulate matter (SPM) affects hydrophobic contaminant transport in the lower Columbia River and its estuary, using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as model compounds. It is hypothesized that PAHs are transported to the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), a prime feeding zone in...

Patterns of sediment accumulation in the Siletz River Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Pakenham, Anna
Abstract:: Anecdotal evidence suggests many Pacific Northwest estuaries are filling with sediment due to historical logging activities in upstream watersheds. Using the Siletz River estuary as a case study, this research began by analyzing timber harvest and discharge records of the Siletz River watershed, and found that increased timber harvest coincides...
