A comparison of seafloor sonar classification methods through the use of error matrices and 3 dimensional GIS visualization : a multibeam sonar investigation of Nehalem Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Lanier, Andrew S.
Abstract:: Multibeam sonar data was collected on Nehalem Bank, off of the Oregon Coast with the purpose of increasing the spatial resolution of our knowledge of the area and delineating seafloor habitats. The system used was the Kongsberg Simrad EM-300 operating at 30 kHz. The data set collected includes both topographic...

A geographic information system and remote sensing to support community-based coastal hazards planning in the Netarts Littoral Cell, Oregon

Creator:: Revell, David
Abstract:: The 14-km long Netarts Littoral Cell, located on the northern Oregon coast, experienced episodic erosion as a result of the severe 1997-98 El Nino and 1998-99 La Nina. The erosion events led to the development of a unique partnership bridging scientists, stakeholders, and various planning agencies. To address these erosion...

A comprehensive evaluation of product quality in the Pacific Whiting (Merluccius productus) and Albacore tuna (thunnus alalunga) industries

Creator:: Greene, Elizabeth
Abstract:: In the highly competitive animal protein market, seafood faces increasing pressure to improve and standardize product quality. While there is general consensus that quality can be improved for many seafood products, there is little agreement on the types and levels of characteristics that should define "quality." This is a fundamental...

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...

Development and implementation of a fish monitoring program for the Port Honduras Marine Reserve, Punta Gorda, Toledo District, Belize

Creator:: Sommer, Maggie
Abstract:: Marine protected areas are increasingly popular tools for fisheries conservation and enhancement worldwide. Monitoring programs that enable managers to track changes in fish stock abundance, size-frequency of target species, and species diversity are critical to evaluating the success of MPA's. The Port Honduras Marine Reserve (PHMR) in southern Belize encompasses...

Using an indicator model to rank relative stock status of minor West Coast rockfish species

Creator:: Miller, Stacey D.
Abstract:: Quantitative assessments of many West coast rockfish stocks of both major and minor importance to commercial fisheries have shown varying declines in abundances. The population sizes of less-abundant, co-occurring unassessed species may also be declining. However, determining stock status of the many non-targeted, minor species with high levels of certainty...

Integrating traceability with onboard handling to enhance product quality and marketability of Eastern Pacific troll-caught albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga)

Creator:: Thompson, Michael J.
Abstract:: The fishing industry in the Pacific Northwest is a dynamic and highly competitive industry that must constantly respond to rapidly changing resource, regulatory and market forces. These forces have already had a significant impact on our fisheries and will continue to do so as we learn more about the biology...

A GIS Evaluation of Land Use Zones and Water Quality for Marine Conservation Site Selection in Lincoln County, Oregon

Creator:: Henderson, Ann Miller
Abstract:: The leasing of submerged and submersible lands is emerging as a new marine conservation method. Using a geographic information system, this study: (1) examines the suitability of estuary tideland sites for conservation leasing in Lincoln County, Oregon, and (2) explores the relationship between adjacent terrestrial land use zones and the...
