Mapping the Political Landscape of Wave Energy Development Off the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Stevenson, John
Abstract:: Since 2006 Oregon has promoted the development of wave energy off its coast. While the state may be well suited for the technology because of an abundant wave resource and supporting coastal infrastructure there remain potential barriers to implementing this policy, including uncertainties about the technology and concerns for impacts...

What's that on the beach? Designing a Protocol for the Identification and Reporting of Stranded Marine Fish, Squid, and Turtles Using the Oregon Coast as a Proof-of-Concept

Creator:: Asson, Danielle and Asson, Danielle C.
Abstract:: It is not unusual to see stranded or washed-up marine animals and birds along any coastline. Various networks nationwide exist to report marine mammals and sea birds, yet, we have been unable to find a network in Oregon or nationally to report other stranded marine animals, namely fish, cephalopods, and...

Preferences and Strategies of Interest Groups and their Constituents in the Responsible Development of Wave Energy Technology in Oregon

Creator:: Covell, Zachary
Abstract:: During 2007 proposals for wave energy technology projects in Oregon's nearshore stirred up attention as interest groups experienced rapid changes both socially and economically. The purpose of this research was to analyze factors influencing interest groups and their membership so as to examine their preferences and strategies pertaining to emerging...

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...

Oregon’s Non-Consumptive Recreational Ocean User Community : Understanding an Ocean Stakeholder

Creator:: Eardley, Christopher S. and Conway, Flaxen D. L.
Abstract:: Oregon is in the midst of major changes to the way it manages use of the ocean off its shores. Consideration for all stakeholder groups will contribute to defensible decisions regarding the use of ocean and coastal resources. This relies on an understanding of the various stakeholders in ocean resources,...

Exploring perceptions and experiences of the U.S. West Coast shellfish industry dealing with ocean acidification

Creator:: Mabardy, Rebecca Anne
Abstract:: Nearshore and estuarine environments along the U.S West Coast are ocean acidification (OA) "hotspots". Carbon dioxide-enriched water has been correlated with production losses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae at hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest. Limited and unreliable supply of larval seed has implications for the economic well-being of commercial...

Assessing Coastal Community Adaptation Scenarios in the Face of Climate Change : A Tillamook County, Oregon Example

Creator:: Lipiec, Eva
Abstract:: Recent coastal disasters (e.g., Hurricane Sandy, Typhoon Haiyan) and chronic issues (e.g., Florida's "nuisance flooding") provide numerous examples of coastal communities struggling to adapt in the face of climate change impacts. Decision-makers and the public alike must reconcile the lack of "fit" between a rapidly changing environment and the effects...
