Marys River Watershed restoration planning by using a multiple-objective decision-support tool, RESTORE

Creator:: Nishioka, Kimitake
Abstract:: Effective watershed restoration planning and prioritization is often very difficult because decision making typically involves a large number of alternatives evaluated on the basis of multiple and often conflicting technical, social, economic, and environmental objectives and criteria. In order to solve such complex decision making problems, multiobjective decision making (MODM)...

Mapping surficial geologic habitats of the Oregon continental margin using integrated interpretive GIS techniques

Creator:: Romsos, Christopher G.
Abstract:: We map the regional physiography and surficial lithology (Surficial Geologic Habitat or SGH) over the continental margin of Oregon. This thesis develops, describes, and implements an iterative interpretive method to map seafloor habitat types from disparate geological and geophysical datasets including: bathymetric images, sidescan sonar images, seismic reflection profiles, sediment...

Comparative Characterization of Two Nearshore Rocky Reef Areas: A high-use recreational fishing reef vs. an unfished reef

Creator:: Fox, David, Merems, Arlene, Amend, Mark, Weeks, Hal, Romsos, Chris, and Appy, Marcus
Abstract:: This project has provided the ODFW Marine Habitat Project with a unique opportunity to make a comparative examination of the habitats and fish communities of a heavily fished reef off of Siletz Bay, and a nearly unfished reef off Cape Perpetua. There are over 17,000 angler trips for groundfish out...

Seasonal abundance and behavior of Steller sea lions in Oregon

Creator:: Katalinich, Jennifer D.
Abstract:: Behavioral studies of populations provide clues as to what influences their movements and life history strategies. This is an area of study that has been underutilized in research surrounding the declining western stock of Steller sea lions, Eumet opias jubatus, particularly with regards to haulout behaviors. During the time of...

Capturing local knowledge for cooperative fisheries management using a participatory geographic information system (GIS) approach in Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Wedell, Victoria A.
Abstract:: This study demonstrates the utility of combining available scientific data with local ecological knowledge in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to support community-based fisheries management. The approach used provides both the framework for capturing important ecological, economic and social information relevant to marine fisheries management, and also offers coastal citizens...

A Portfolio of marine science education and outreach projects

Creator:: McAuliffe, Scott C.
Abstract:: The work described herein entailed three separate but related education/outreach activities aimed at distinct audiences. This portfolio required acquisition of a range of skills in order to effectively convey information in a fashion accessible to each target audience. The first project consists of contributions to a sample chapter of a...

Economic costs of long-term sea level rise on the Oregon coast : A case study of the Siletz Littoral Cell

Creator:: Fleck, William K.
Abstract:: Given the broad scientific consensus that global climate is changing, it is no longer a question if sea level will rise, but rather by how much will it rise. The regional estimates for the Eastern Pacific suggest that the Northwest coastlines will experience a greater eustatic sea level rise than...

Pacific walrus management in a world of changing climate : experiences and observations from King Island walrus hunters

Creator:: Cardinal, Jessica I.
Abstract:: In 1997, the Eskimo Walrus Commission (EWC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) established a formal cooperative agreement for the conservation and management of Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens). This arrangement facilitates the transfer of funds from Section 119 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act via the USFWS...

Marine protected areas : Gathering stakeholder input via an internet-based survey

Creator:: Demirdjian, Renee
Abstract:: Conservation efforts have been increasing in recent years to help preserve threatened coastal and ocean resources. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an important tool to protect and conserve ocean resources. The MPA Center was established to take the lead in developing a framework for a national system of MPAs. The...

Life histories of juvenile chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary : 1916 to the present

Creator:: Burke, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Pacific Coast estuaries provide important rearing habitats leading to improved growth and survival for juvenile chinook salmon. However, research has suggested that juvenile salmon have little use for estuarine habitats in the Columbia River. To further understand salmonid recovery needs in estuaries, I compared historical and contemporary life history patterns...

A rapid ecological assesment (REA) of coral reefs and reef fishes of barrier islands within central Belize barrier reef complex utilizing the mesoamerican barrier reef systems (MBRS) protocol

Creator:: Gomez, Gianna M.
Abstract:: Rapid assessments are essential to establish baseline information of ecosystems that can be used to design management plans such as marine protected areas. A rapid ecological assessment was conducted to determine the conditions of coral reefs and reef fish around barrier islands that occur within the central Belize Barrier Reef...

Policy recommendations of the U.S. Commission on ocean policy : Is public input represented?

Creator:: Hamilton, Jessica S.
Abstract:: This study analyzes public participation in nine regional hearings and six public meetings held by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy (USCOP) from September 2001 to April 2003. While several researchers have examined whether certain public involvement methods are considered successful or fair, this study characterizes the participants in a...

The application of geographic information systems for delineation and classification of tidal wetlands for resource management of Oregon’s coastal watersheds

Creator:: Scranton, Russell W.
Abstract:: Resource managers of Oregon’s tidal wetlands require an improved GIS layer for management of existing tidal wetland habitat and areas considered for tidal wetland restoration. A reconnaissance project was initiated, such that interpretations of remote sensing data, the National Wetland Inventory, Oregon Estuary Plan Book and additional management tools were...
