Utilizing cooperative fisheries research to monitor and understand harmful algal blooms along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Gilliland, Raquel C.
Abstract:: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a problem for coastal communities, the fishing industry, and coastal organisms. Pseudo-nitzschia spp. is a regularly occurring diatom in Oregon’s coastal waters. At times, Pseudo-nitzschia spp. can facultatively produce domoic acid, a neurotoxin that can bioaccumulate in the food chain. While regular shore-based sampling provides...

Using GIS to illustrate the geospatial and socio-ecological intersection between climate change, energy production, and sustainable fisheries management in Oregon

Creator:: Cohn, Leanne A.
Abstract:: There could be a geospatial and socio-ecological intersection between climate change, energy production, and sustainable fisheries management in the United States. Marine renewable energy generation efforts are currently being planned, studied, and initially implemented in the country as a response to climate change. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is...

Power and Participation in Ocean Governance Processes: A Case of the Proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary

Creator:: Knipp, Abigail
Abstract:: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an area-based tool used to manage and protect areas along the coasts and ocean that face impacts from development and climate change. Local communities both impact and are affected by the creation of MPAs and as such, it is important to include their knowledge and...

Empowering the Experts: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Climate Change Communication Workshop

Creator:: Vickery, Katrina
Abstract:: As climate change and its associated environmental and socioeconomic impacts become increasingly severe and imminent across the United States, it has become imperative for the public to be aware of and actively engaged with this issue. Although scientists generally perceive outreach in a positive light, a critical barrier that tends...

Effects of Stage 0 treatment on spring Chinook juveniles within South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon

Creator:: Hahn, Aleah
Abstract:: Low-tech habitat restoration techniques, including Stage 0 treatments, are increasingly applied but often lack robust evaluation of their effects. In 2018, one kilometer of the South Fork McKenzie (SFMK) River, OR was modified to the Stage 0 condition for the benefit of ESA-listed Chinook by raising the incised channel to...

Oceanographic Drivers of Northern California Current Phytoplankton Communities and their Fatty Acid Composition: Implications for Northwest Fisheries

Creator:: Smoak, Rebecca T.
Abstract:: Micro-plankton are a crucial component of pelagic food webs, responding rapidly to environmental changes, and providing a first step in the acquisition and transfer of nutrients to life in the ocean. In addition to the uptake of carbon, phytoplankton provide essential fatty acids (FAs) that can limit the growth of...

Juvenile Pacific Oyster Growth and Food Resources in Eelgrass Habitats of Variable Shoot Density in Tillamook Bay, OR: Ecosystem Interactions for Management Consideration

Creator:: Merrill, Julianne
Abstract:: As the global demand for seafood increases each year, there is a growing need to expand sustainable aquaculture in the interests of food security and resilience of coastal communities. Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, are grown in West coast estuaries - where cultures often overlap with the federally protected native eelgrass,...

Understanding the Contribution of a Seafood Processing Sector to Community Resilience: The Case of Tillamook County

Creator:: Beaullieu, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Seafood processing is a sector of the seafood supply chain in which individuals and communities along Oregon’s coast rely on for food, livelihood, economic, and cultural relationships. Many coastal resilience studies focus on the seafood harvest (fishing) communities leaving the seafood processing sector relatively understudied. The objective of this thesis...

The Environmental, Economic, and Social Factors that Contribute to the Importance of the Pacific Razor Clam (Siliqua patula) Fishery for Oregon Coastal Communities: A Northern Oregon Case Study

Creator:: Baker, Laura C.
Abstract:: Pacific razor clams (Siliqua patula) are narrow oblong bivalves that can be found in sandy habitats along the western coast of the United States, from Alaska (Aleutian Islands) to southern California (Pismo Beach). In Washington state, the razor clam fishery has been documented to be an important contributor to the...

North Pacific Humpback Whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) in Northern Southeast Alaska: Population Trends, Monitoring, and Management

Creator:: Thurber, Rhianna L.
Abstract:: After the commercial exploitation of humpback whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) ceased, population trends in the North Pacific increased with the implementation of federal protective legislation. The recovery of the population prompted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to divide the population into 14 Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) based on discrete geographic...
