Shore protection structures in Oregon : An analysis of demand and the implementation of engineering recommendations

Creator:: Chenault, Carla Diane and Chenault, Carla D.
Abstract:: Stabilization structures are the most commonly used form of shore protection along the Oregon coast. Eighty-five percent of the hard stabilization structures built in Oregon from 1976 – 1999 were riprap revetments. An evaluation was conducted of 143 riprap revetments in the northern three counties of Oregon. Clear trends exist...

Applying economic benefit transfer to improve the transfer of ecological estimates in ecosystem services research & policy

Creator:: Errend, Melissa N.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to advance the methodology and thought regarding the transferability of ecological estimates of ecosystem services. Conceptually and in practice, ecological estimate transfer parallels economic benefit transfer in ecosystem services research and policy, yet the literature for benefit transfer predates ecological estimate transfer by several...

Characterization of ecosystem structure and function recovery within the NOAA MOC-P mitigation basin, Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Lewis, Nate S.
Abstract:: Seagrass ecosystems are considered some of the most productive coastal habitats in the world. One such seagrass within estuaries of the Pacific Northwest, Zostera marina (eelgrass), is recognized to be an ecosystem engineering species that provides many important ecosystem functions and services. In 2010, construction of the National Oceanic and...

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...

Towards an approach based on resilience for assessing the potential impacts of sea level rise

Creator:: Scalise, Armando Hector
Abstract:: In this paper, I will analyze the nature of these problems and examine how recent approaches to SLRA have dealt with them. In addition, a framework for assessing the potential impacts of sea level rise is proposed, drawing upon the ecological concept of resilience (Holling 1978, 1984).

Alternative shore protection strategies : Innovative options and management issues

Creator:: Dare, Jennifer Lyne
Abstract:: This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of the selected coastal protection alternatives in a form most useful for coastal mangers. It is not intended to serve as a technical review of the engineering design of shore protection schemes. The concept, design, and application of each method are reviewed....

Capturing local knowledge for cooperative fisheries management using a participatory geographic information system (GIS) approach in Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Wedell, Victoria A.
Abstract:: This study demonstrates the utility of combining available scientific data with local ecological knowledge in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to support community-based fisheries management. The approach used provides both the framework for capturing important ecological, economic and social information relevant to marine fisheries management, and also offers coastal citizens...

Identifying potential wetland restoration sites for estuary-wide restoration planning in Oregon : A pilot project in the Coos Estuary

Creator:: Fuss, J. David
Abstract:: Oregon's estuaries have been significantly altered by human activity, so that many former tidal wetlands no longer provide the functions, such as fish and wildlife habitat, erosion protection from storms, and water quality maintenance, that preserve the integrity of estuarine ecosystems. Oregon has been a leader in wetland protection and...

A rapid survey method for native blue mud shrimp (Upogebia pugettensis) and its associated parasitic isopod, Orthione griffenis, in Alsea Bay, Oregon and alternative applications of this methodology

Creator:: Carter, Cameron S.
Abstract:: Declines or extinctions of the native intertidal estuary blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis, have been observed or are suspected in all of its populations over the species’ range. These declines are associated with the introduced Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, which effectively castrates females. Baseline estimates of population abundances...
