Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQ) in the Pacific Halibut Fishery : Applications to the Magnuson Act

Creator:: Reisenweber, John W.
Abstract:: The Pacific halibut has supported a major commercial fishery on the West coast of the United States for over 100 years.

The Role of Iron: How Natural and Human-Induced Iron Fertilization Could Change Ocean Productivity

Creator:: Adroli, Nurmalia
Abstract:: Iron (Fe) is an important limiting nutrient that can affect the rate of ocean primary production because it is required by phytoplankton as an enzymatic cofactor in photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and other essential metabolic functions. Most Fe reaches the surface of the open ocean via atmospheric dust deposition, which is...

Beyond oil : Managing hazardous material spills in Puget Sound

Creator:: Heimowitz, P. J. (Paul J.)
Abstract:: Past disasters such as mercury poisoning in Minimata, and new problems such as tributyltin impacts on shellfish have maintained public concern about problems caused by chronic discharges of hazardous materials into marine waters (Clark, 1986; U.S. Congress, 1987). However, hazardous chemical spills in coastal waters typically escape public attention. Unlike...

Integration of submersible transect data andhigh-resolution sonar imagery for a habitat-based groundfish assessment of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Nasby, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Dramatic declines in several groundfish populations have occurred along the U.S. West Coast during the last decade (PFMC 1999, Sampson 1997, Ralston 1998, Bloeser 1999). One problem exacerbating these declines is insufficient stock assessments, especially for species of west coast rockfish (Family Scorpaenidae, Genus Sebastes) which comprise the core of...

An evaluation of the likelihood of successful implementation of the long term coral reef monitoring program on the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Creator:: Kylstra, Pam
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems are the oceanic equivalent of tropical rainforests, in terms of biodiversity. The estimated 1,037,000 square kilometers worldwide of reef provide habitat for over one million species of plants and animals (Hinrichsen, 1997). Coral reefs are important to the economy of coastal nations because of the fisheries and...

The changing roles of environmental interest groups in national policy-making : a marine conservation case study

Creator:: Simler, Brooke S.
Abstract:: Interest groups have participated in the American political system since the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Environmental interest groups, a subsection of the American interest group society, have been especially active in national policies since the proliferation of environmental laws and environmental advocacy in the 1960s and 1970s.
