Are We Missing the Boat? Recreational Fishing and the Benefits of Oyster Reef Restoration in the Chesapeake Bay

Creator:: Hicks, Rob
Abstract:: In many salt-water recreational settings an imprecise measure of site choice is often collected based upon the individual's launch-point. For anglers who continue on from the launch-point in a boat, this imprecise measure of site choice is likely missing important on-water trade-offs thereby affecting the accuracy of recreational benefit measures...

Choice Sets for Fishery Location Choice Models in the Presence of Fine-scale Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity

Creator:: Holland, Daniel, Hicks, Rob, and Schnier, Kurt
Abstract:: A central component of any discrete choice analysis is the selection of alternatives that determine a decision agent's choice set. Failure to properly specify choice sets will generate biased parameter estimates, inaccurate behavioral predictions, and erroneous estimates of policy relevant metrics (e.g., welfare effects of closed areas in fisheries). The...

An evaluation of coastal Oregon's marginal aggregates

Creator:: Clemmons, Gregory H.
Abstract:: Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregates. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal, aggregate available for construction purposes. An evaluation of these marginal aggregates is the purpose of this paper. There are four classes of marginal rocks found on the Oregon Coast. Basalts, high in...

Development of structural layer coefficients for open graded asphalt emulsion mixes

Creator:: Hatch, David Russell
Abstract:: This paper describes the development of structural layer coefficients for open graded asphalt emulsion surfacing layers which can be used with the AASHO pavement design method, as modified by the U. S. Forest Service, Region 6. A field survey conducted to document the history, performance and material characteristics of in-service...

The use of omics for disease evaluation in the brains of marine mammals

Creator:: Rosales, Stephanie
Abstract:: Marine mammals are top predators that are essential for the health and function of our oceans. These top predators are often affected by various factors that can be detrimental to their populations. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate undetermined causes of deaths and to better understand known diseases in...

The effects of habitat, climate, and Barred Owls on long-term demography of Northern Spotted Owls

Creator:: Dugger, Katie M., Forsman, Eric D., Franklin, Alan B., Davis, Raymond J., White, Gary C., Schwarz, Carl J., Burnham, Kenneth P., Nichols, James D., Hines, James E., Yackulic, Charles B., Doherty, Paul F.

Mark, Hobson, Jeremy, Horn, Rob B., Huyvaert, Kathryn P., McCafferty, Christopher, McDonald, Trent, McDonnell, Kevin, Olson, Gail S., Reid, Janice A., Rockweit, Jeremy, Ruiz, Viviana, Saenz, Jessica, and Sovern, Stan G.
Abstract:: Estimates of species' vital rates and an understanding of the factors affecting those parameters over time and space can provide crucial information for management and conservation. We used mark–recapture, reproductive output, and territory occupancy data collected during 1985–2013 to evaluate population processes of Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) in...

Characterizing trends in participation and diversification in small-scale coastal fisheries of Virginia, USA [presentation]

Creator:: White, Shelby B. and Scheld, Andrew M.
Abstract:: The small-scale coastal fisheries of Virginia account for a significant portion of the state’s total annual landings and employ thousands of individuals. Despite the value of these fisheries, the number of commercial licenses sold has declined more than 15% since 1994. Declines are attributed to various factors, but indicate potential...

The Amendment 80 Fishery: a Long-Term View on the Key Management Changes that Have Impacted this North Pacific Multi-species Fishery off the Coast of Alaska

Creator:: Haynie, Alan, Abbott, Joshua, and Reimer, Matthew
Abstract:: The Alaska non-pollock multi-species catcher processor trawl fishery, referred to as the Amendment 80 fishery since 2008, is an endlessly fascinating subject from the perspective of an economist. A diverse group of companies and vessels, emphasizing different species mixes from a multi-species ecosystem, targets fish across the Eastern Bering Sea,...

Decision making in a mixed commercial-recreational fishery for Atlantic bluefin tuna

Creator:: Goldsmith, William, Scheld, Andrew M., and Graves, John E.
Abstract:: Stated choice random utility frameworks are a valuable tool for eliciting the preferences of fishermen. In typical applications, choice outcomes are known prior to choice selection, which may confound results when outcomes are uncertain. To evaluate the importance of uncertainty in decision making, we applied a contingent sequential stated choice...
