An Ecological Assessment of a Potential Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) Reintroduction to the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Kone, Dominique
Abstract:: Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) used to exist along coastlines throughout much of the North Pacific Ocean. During the Maritime Fur Trade, sea otters were extirpated from much of their historic range, including Oregon. There is renewed interest in reintroducing sea otters to Oregon. Managers seek improved understanding of the potential...

Informing and Enhancing Scientific and Management Understanding of Oregon’s Nearshore Groundfish Trawl Fishery by Engaging Local Ecological Knowledge

Creator:: Sjostrom, Anja J. C.
Abstract:: Oregon’s Coastal nearshore ecosystems are a nexus between living marine resources and coincident human recreational, industrial and socio-economic development. These nearshore regions also provide habitats vital to early life history stages of commercial non-whiting groundfish species, which supplied 21% of the Oregon fishing economy in 2018. The very shallow portions...

An Exploration of the Research Capacity Building Potential of Informal Higher Education Marine Science Programs in an International Context

Creator:: Moskel, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Informal higher education science learning programs are increasingly being used as a tool to build scientific research capacity. However, there is low understanding of the impact that these programs on their target audiences, which is important to future capacity building efforts and program design. The purpose of this research project...

Professional Development Training in Ocean Acidification: A Case Study of Marine Resource Managers

Creator:: Moses, Michael L.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA) is the result of increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, leading to a suite of alterations to specific parameters of ocean chemistry, which can negatively impact many marine organisms and ecosystems. Understanding how to measure and monitor the chemistry of OA will require specialized education...

Designing and Delivering Effective Two-Way Science Communication Tools: A Case Study of NOAA West Watch Webinars

Creator:: Mazur, Emily N.
Abstract:: Research across natural resource management disciplines has identified an implementation gap between researchers and managers, where institutional norms and practices limit the application and synthesis of novel data and observations in decision-making. With their increasing social media and internet presence, federal agencies have grown their communication portfolios past traditional communication...

The Deep Sea and Me: A Design-Based Research Study to Advance Public Literacy of the Deep Sea Using an Exhibit at a Public Marine Science Center

Creator:: Darr, Katherine D.
Abstract:: With growing populations and consumer demand, there has been a turn to the deep sea to meet our natural resource needs. The deep sea provides a range of benefits to humans—called ecosystem services—including carbon sequestration, fisheries, waste absorption and detoxification, and nutrient cycling, all of which are vital to life...

Perceptions of a Changing Ocean: Resilience and Oregon's Commercial Fishing Community

Creator:: Haugen, Brianna I.
Abstract:: The complex challenges that Oregon’s commercial fishing community faces are mainly driven by four sources of change: climate change, change in management regulations, societal shifts, and market trends. Challenges include increasing competition for ocean use, management decisions that prioritize economic efficiency over community values, and an increasingly uncertain environment. The...

Adapting the Community Based Social Marketing Framework to Create Actionable Messages About Plastic Pollution at the Oregon Coast Aquarium

Creator:: Nalven, Katharine B.
Abstract:: Because of their convenience and durability, single-use plastic items have become a ubiquitous part of society since the 1930s. The overuse of these convenient and durable plastic items has created a social and environmental problem that plagues our oceans and waterways. While the issue is overwhelming and daunting, it is...

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Assessment and Management: Incorporating Nearshore Surveys into the Fishery Management Framework

Creator:: Haven, Katlyn M. M.
Abstract:: The Pacific coast groundfish fishery is a diverse, important and lucrative commercial and recreational fishery. Part of this fishery’s monitoring process includes regular fishery-independent surveys for stock assessment. Although these fishery-independent surveys are cost-effective, they are susceptible to scientific uncertainty, and they do not currently sample in nearshore (water depth...
