  • Halibut bycatch management implications for Area 2A and evaluation of an informal video

    Creator:
    Fruh, Erica
    Abstract:
    Concern over the incidental catch of non-targeted species in commercial and recreational fisheries has greatly increased. Public attention, negative publicity, controversies between differing fisheries and gear groups and the reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act have led to an increased awareness of the issue. The Pacific halibut...

  • Salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest : defining what constitutes a wild salmon

    Creator:
    Courter, Ian I.
    Abstract:
    In spite of considerable efforts to restore natural runs of anadromous salmonids in the Pacific Northwest, they remain at risk of extirpation. Along with many other factors influencing the decline, stocking from hatcheries over the past hundred years is often suggested to be a major cause. The listing of over...

  • Assessing the feasibility of policy prescriptions in the Salmon 2100 Project

    Creator:
    Whitehead, Katharine S.
    Abstract:
    Wild salmon populations are in decline in the Pacific Northwest. In the region populations and runs of Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytsha), Chum (Oncorhynchus keta), Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch), Sockey (Oncorhynchus nerka), and Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) have been listed as threatened and/or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the U.S. and/or...

  • Provenance, lifespan, and phylogeny : testing a conceptual framework for plant community management

    Creator:
    Benfield, Cara D.
    Abstract:
    Successful conservation management requires an understanding of how species respond to intervention. Native and exotic species may respond differently to management interventions due to differences arising directly from their native or exotic origin (i.e., provenance) or from differences in life-history or phylogenetic lineage that are associated with provenance. Thus, selection...

  • Rivers and Roads : Exploring How Environmental Governance Impacts State Management of Forest Roads

    Creator:
    Detwiler, Stacey M.
    Abstract:
    This study explores how environmental governance mechanisms affect state management of forest roads to address the chronic delivery of sediment to streams in Oregon, Washington, and California on private and state forestlands. Forest roads can degrade water quality and harm aquatic life when runoff mobilizes fine sediments from the road...
