Using The MPA Guide to Better Understand Global Marine Conservation Efforts

Creator:: McArthur, Madeleine G.
Abstract:: Across the globe, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been established to protect biodiversity, sustain fisheries, and preserve cultural resources. However, there exist broad differences among MPAs with respect to their establishment stage and protective regulations, making it difficult to quantify how much ocean protection is actually occurring. This thesis utilizes...

River Restoration to Achieve a Stage 0 Condition: Summary of a Workshop Held November 5-6, 2020

Creator:: Behan, Jeff, Fetcho, K., Davis, R., and Gaines, L.
Abstract:: Restoration to achieve Stage 0 is a valley-scale, process-based (hydrologic, geologic and biological) approach that aims to reestablish stream depositional environments to maximize longitudinal, lateral, and vertical connectivity at base flows and facilitate development of dynamic, self-formed and self-sustaining wetland-stream complexes. The term Stage 0 originally described complex multi-channel conditions...

Source levels of foraging humpback whale calls

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H., Matthews, Leanna P., Gabriele, Christine M., Mellinger, David K., and Klinck, Holger
Abstract:: Humpback whales produce a wide range of low-to mid-frequency vocalizations throughout their migratory range. Non-song "calls" dominate this species' vocal repertoire while on high-latitude foraging grounds. The source levels of 426 humpback whale calls in four vocal classes were estimated using a four-element planar array deployed in Glacier Bay National...
