GIS modeling of potential marine protected areas in the Northwest Atlantic via biological and socioeconomic parameters

Creator:: Keith, Charles M.
Abstract:: Overfishing of our national marine resources has degraded some of the most productive fishing regions in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, most notably the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank. These regions may have shifted from productive trophic regimes to a less than optimal state therefore reducing fishers’ catches and associated...

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami : tourism impacts and recovery progress in Thailand’s marine national parks

Creator:: Meprasert, Somrudee
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami raised concern among marine park managers and hazard mitigation professionals about the significant impact of major coastal hazards on marine park natural resources and ecosystems. The main reason for this concern is the strong linkage of marine parks and their rich assortment of ecosystem services...

Basin level ecological regions of the upper Grande Ronde River

Creator:: Thiele, Sandra Anne
Abstract:: Ecological regionalization is a form of spatial classification, where boundaries are drawn around areas relatively homogeneous in landscape characteristics. In the delineation of ecological regions, or ecoregions, the process includes the analysis of ecosystem structure and function. Ecoregions have been developed at national and state scales for research and resource...

Lower Salmon River Cultural Resource Management Plan

Creator:: Sisson, David A.
Abstract:: Cultural resource inventories have identified,205 individual sites on public land along the Lower Salmon River, Idaho. These sites represent a rich and diverse record of the human occupation and utilization of the river canyon during the past 10,000 years. Each of these 205 sites contains its own unique record of...

Resource applications of Geographic Information Systems: the development of the roads layer for the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Cogswell, Megan L.
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service has been actively using new information technologies since the formation of the agency. Currently forests are using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping, data storage, modeling, and spatial analysis. The Siuslaw National Forest has an active GIS with many data layers. A project to correct the...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

Fostering social-ecological resilience in the Upper Klamath Basin : The National Riparian Service Team's Creeks and Communities strategy and an emerging model for government in adaptive co-management

Creator:: Paulekas, Robyn N.
Abstract:: Social-ecological resilience theory is part of a new paradigm for understanding and managing complex coupled human-ecological systems. The theory aims to inform explorations of a system’s ability to withstand disturbance while maintaining its critical functions. Adaptive co-management has been proposed as a governance mechanism that can enhance resiliency by combining...

The late spring secondary precipitation maximum in the interior Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Quinn, Robert
Abstract:: The Late Spring Secondary Precipitation Maximum in the Interior Pacific Northwest results from a complex system of climatic controls. The Secondary Maximum is most strongly developed over the high plateau of Oregon immediately in the lee of the Cascade Mountains. Local topographic organization exerts strong control over the magnitude and...

Exploring pathways to adaptive collaborative management : a multi-case study of the National Riparian Service Team's place-based riparian assistance

Creator:: Smedstad, Jill A.
Abstract:: Adaptive collaborative (co-) management has received increased recognition as a novel approach to environmental governance that combines the dynamic learning features of adaptive management with the linking and network features of collaborative management. This approach is concerned with fostering sustainable livelihoods and ecological sustainability in the face of uncertainty and...

The marine biogeography of Ragay Gulf and Burias Pass, Philippines

Creator:: Jamir, Tomas Vergel C.
Abstract:: Ragay Gulf and Burias Pass are among the traditional fishing grounds of the country being considered by the government for an integrated approach to fishery management (Smith, et al., 1980; Samson, et al., 1977, World Bank, 1976). The Department of Marine Fisheries, College of Fisheries, University of the Philippines in...
