A community-based approach for evaluating tradeoffs across marine ecosystem services in Oregon

Creator:: Freeman, Peter M.
Abstract:: As competing uses of our coastlines increase, natural resource agencies are employing marine spatial planning (MSP) to designate areas for different uses or activities in order to reduce conflicts while achieving ecological, economic and social objectives. A central challenge of implementing MSP is development of a rigorous approach for analyzing...

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...

A Broader Overview and Investigation into Seafood Traceability Developments and the Current Landscape for the US West Coast Seafood Industry

Creator:: Ahlers, Brian L.
Abstract:: Seafood is one of the most diverse and highly traded natural resources worldwide. Widespread evidence of increased seafood fraud and IUU fishing has placed enormous pressure on industry and governments to determine the authenticity, safety, and sustainability of seafood. The recently established US National Ocean Council has addressed several gaps...

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...

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...

How Nearshore Currents affect Larval Dispersal and Genetic Connectivity of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus) Along Oregon and Washington Coasts

Creator:: Avila, Alexandra M.
Abstract:: Connectivity of fish populations is a crucial question for fisheries conservation and the development of spatial management plans. Both adult and larval movement define the extent and direction of ecological and evolutionary overlap between geographic regions and, therefore, how we define stocks for management purposes. Within that context, my work...
