Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...

Physical factors affecting the spatial distribution of infaunal bivalve assemblages and species along the continental shelf of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Labou, Stephanie Grace
Abstract:: The spatial distribution and abundance patterns of benthic infauna result from interactions with a host of environmental variables including sediment characteristics (percent silt-clay, grain size, total organic carbon), depth, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. This thesis focuses on the association of bivalve assemblages and species with potentially influential environmental variables along...

Identification of representative west coast areas for manganese nodule processing activities

Creator:: Henderson, James A.
Abstract:: Manganese nodules are concretions which are widely distributed on the bottom of marine waters as well as on the bottom of some lakes. They vary in size, abundance, and to some extent composition, with location. The nodules are of potential economic value because of the nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese...

A Study of Participant Perspectives Regarding Cooperative Fisheries Research on the US West Coast

Creator:: Moore, Jedidiah J.
Abstract:: Cooperative marine fisheries research—the practice of involving the expertise of fishermen and scientists in conducting studies of ocean fishes—has increased gradually over the past 50 years on the US west coast. However, few studies have systematically collected and analyzed the experiences and perceptions of numerous cooperative marine fisheries research project...
