This presentation summarizes a collaborative effort of the Tillamook County Futures Council and Oregon State University faculty members jointly affiliated with Extension Service and the Rural Studies Program developed 50 indicators of Tillamook County: 2020 Strategic Vision in order to gain insight into...
A. Elegantissima is not well understood, there is still much we don’t know about the anemone. What we do know is that they live in aggregations, where they divide the labor as mothers and warriors. The anemones have feeding tentacles and acrorhagi, the latter are attacking tentacles. Mothers are found...
Extraction of natural gas from shale formations using the process of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) requires the use of thousands of cubic meters of fluid. Hydraulic fracturing fluids are pumped under pressure into shale formations, fracturing the shale and releasing pockets of trapped gases. When the pressure in a natural gas...
Abstract
Flame-retardants (FRs) generally enter the environment by dissociating from the products they were originally manufactured into. The predominant class of FR used in consumer products before their eventual phase-out in the mid-2000s were the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Previous studies have illustrated a correlation between socio-economic status, notably gross...
Oregon White Oaks (Quercus garryana) were once abundant in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, but have drastically decreased because of fire suppression, agriculture, and human development. Oaks are an important ecosystem because they provide a diverse habitat for bird species that are insectivorous and/or cavity nesters. We studied the oak restoration...
Analyzing the socioeconomic impacts of fisheries management requires a distinctive array of information that has so far been less developed than the biological data used in stock assessment. In the case of the European Common Fisheries Policy the project SOCIOEC studies the socioeconomic effects of the new European fisheries management...
Women are crucial to the fisheries and the aquaculture sector. Worldwide, fishery and aquaculture production activities provide revenues to an estimated 155 million people, of whom a substantial proportion is female. In developing countries most fishing activities fall into the small-scale fisheries sector employing roughly 40 million people, and directly...
Self-management has been recognized as important in successfully governing the common pool resources. This is no exception in fishery. Fishery cooperatives, where fishermen collectively manage the fishery, are garnering much attention from both regulators and academics. In this study, we aim to empirically disentangle the efficiency mechanism of pooling system....
