The role of policy and collaboration in decommissioning exempt water wells in Washington state

Creator:: Moran, Kathryn A.
Abstract:: The rapid proliferation of exempt wells since the settlement of the West has left the State of Washington with little knowledge of the existing number of exempt wells within its boundaries. Exempt wells are primarily a rural phenomena that when abandoned leave aquifers vulnerable to contaminants and create a general...

Bycatch in the ocean shrimp Pandalus jordani fishery

Creator:: Hoover Krutzikowsky, Vicki
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to explore the impact of finfish bycatch on the ocean shrimp Pandalus jordani fishery using two methods. One method looked at the breakage of the shrimp by finfish bycatch in the nets. The other looked at the impact of bycatch on fishing decisions. At-sea...

Subsistence in Alaska : With an in-depth look at the Upper Copper River Fishery

Creator:: McCormick, Mary B.
Abstract:: Subsistence hunting and fishing in Alaska is a political, social, and cultural issue. Since statehood in 1959 the state of Alaska has managed fish and wildlife resources on all its lands. But because the state has been unable to come into compliance with federal regulations mandating a subsistence rural priority,...

Pacific walrus management in a world of changing climate : experiences and observations from King Island walrus hunters

Creator:: Cardinal, Jessica I.
Abstract:: In 1997, the Eskimo Walrus Commission (EWC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) established a formal cooperative agreement for the conservation and management of Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens). This arrangement facilitates the transfer of funds from Section 119 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act via the USFWS...

Sea level response to low-frequency atmospheric pressure fluctuations along the northwestern American coast

Creator:: Ma, Heau San
Abstract:: Spectral analysis was used to investigate semidaily mean sea levels and atmospheric pressures at San Francisco, California, Coos Bay, Oregon, and Tofino, British Columbia, in the frequency band 0 to 0.5 cpd. Cross spectral analysis of semidaily mean sea levels and atmospheric pressures at the three stations show that the...

A mesoscale study of coastal currents and upwelling off Peru

Creator:: Enfield, David B.
Abstract:: Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic observations are used in describing the coastal currents and upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of 1969. First order statistics and graphical representations of current...

Monitoring coastal upwelling by measuring its effects within an estuary

Creator:: Bourke, Robert H.
Abstract:: Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentration measured in an estuary were analyzed to determine if the effects of coastal upwelling could be observed and used to effectively monitor the degree of upwelling. Hydrographic data collected weekly at a point four miles from the entrance of Yaquina Bay (Buoy 15) were...

Vertical current measurement in the Oregon coastal upwelling region

Creator:: Deckard, Dennis E.
Abstract:: Direct measurements of vertical water motions were made in the Oregon coastal region during the 1972 summer upwelling season. The instruments used were the Webb-Voorhis vertical current meters which are freely drifting neutrally buoyant floats capable of sensing vertical motion. It was found that in the region studied, water tended...

Chemistry and hydrography of Oregon coastal waters and the Willamette and Columbia Rivers : March and June, 1971

Creator:: Kantz, Kent William
Abstract:: An inexpensive method for calibrating an infrared analyzer to measure varying ranges of carbon dioxide partial pressures (Pco₂) is described. A discussion is made of the hydrographic (temperature, salinity, and sigma-t) and chemical (dissolved oxygen, AOU, Pco₂ pH, and nutrients) variables that were observed along the Newport hydrographic line in...
