Physical Climate Variables Associated with California Current Large Marine Ecosystem and Implications in Recreational Fisheries Management

Creator:: Miller, Tiffany A.
Abstract:: Climate variations within the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) have impacts on marine fish populations. It is proposed that these impacts will be reflected in recreational fishing catches which is explored in this study. A Pearson correlation analysis compares data from El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events and upwelling...

Fish for the Future: Fisheries Conservation Developments and Lessons Learned from Squaxin Tribal, and Washington State, Salmon Fisheries Management

Creator:: Peters, Joseph C.
Abstract:: Washington State fisheries and Washington State Treaty Tribes are becoming increasingly restricted in harvest of wild salmon due to US Endangered Species Act listings of salmon species, marine mammal predation by both ESA listed Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) and US Marine Mammal Protection Act protected pinnipeds, salmon habitat destruction,...

Foraging ecology and reproductive energetics of the Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) in Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Hatch, Nick R.
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a species of conservation concern over the entirety of its known range, which spans coastal Alaska and northeastern Russia. Concerns about the status of the species have been raised due to evidence of population declines in key breeding areas, low reproductive output, and perceived...

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...

On the road to sustainability : Assessing Belize's fisheries management reform using a multiscalar governance approach

Creator:: Wade, Eric A.
Abstract:: The management of small-scale fisheries (SSF) around the world is facing increasing demands for reformation given ecological, social, and economic vulnerabilities. The governance of SSF is particularly important to foster the sustainability of these systems given that it combines regulatory instruments, interactive participation of diverse stakeholders, and the guiding values...

The Effects of Artificial Structures on Estuarine Infaunal Communities and Offshore Biofouling Communities

Creator:: Mendoza, Maritza
Abstract:: For hundreds of years, coastal and marine ecosystems have experienced increasing threats due to the cumulative effects of increasing population growth and dependence on these ecosystems. Thus, there has been increased enthusiasm to mitigate the negative effects of human actions through the use of cleaner sources of energy, like marine...

A policy perspective on the emergence and fate of the US Rockfish Conservation Areas

Creator:: Spahr, Alexandra J.
Abstract:: Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) are large areas closed to fishing in federal waters off the Washington, Oregon and California coasts. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC) was responsible for the creation and regulation of the RCAs. The RCA boundaries were defined in 2002 to rebuild rockfish species declared as overfished...

On the Edge : Assessing Fish Habitat Use Across the Boundary between Pacific Oyster Aquaculture and Eelgrass in Willapa Bay, WA

Creator:: Muething, Kelly A.
Abstract:: Estuaries are an important ecological link between terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems, but are also subject to a variety of human pressures. Along the West Coast of the United States, shellfish aquaculture is one extensive use of estuarine tidelands. Specifically, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) aquaculture has been practiced for almost...

An Evaluation of Collaborative Salmon Fishery Management in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Sheridan, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Collaborative decision-making is often promoted as a means to achieve socially acceptable and enduring solutions to natural resource management issues, and one that holds promise for resolving “wicked” problems. However, success rates for implementation of collaborative recommendations are unknown. This paper explores challenges to collaborative salmon fishery management in Prince...

Response of reef fish assemblages to overgrowth of the hydrocoral Millepora complanata by the crustose alga Ramicrusta sp.

Creator:: Adams, AnnaRose
Abstract:: Natural disturbances and human activities can alter the benthic composition of coral reefs and other marine ecosystems. Reef fishes that associate with particular structures on the sea floor, such as coral heads, may be vulnerable to perturbations of those habitats. The spread of a newly discovered crustose alga (Ramicrusta sp.)...
