Comparative Characterization of Two Nearshore Rocky Reef Areas: A high-use recreational fishing reef vs. an unfished reef

Creator:: Fox, David, Merems, Arlene, Amend, Mark, Weeks, Hal, Romsos, Chris, and Appy, Marcus
Abstract:: This project has provided the ODFW Marine Habitat Project with a unique opportunity to make a comparative examination of the habitats and fish communities of a heavily fished reef off of Siletz Bay, and a nearly unfished reef off Cape Perpetua. There are over 17,000 angler trips for groundfish out...

Habitat restoration in the Columbia River Estuary : A strategy for implementing standard monitoring protocols

Creator:: Anderson, Michael G.
Abstract:: This project, to propose an implementation strategy for standard monitoring protocols, builds on my Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fellowship to support a study entitled Evaluating Cumulative Ecosystem Response to Restoration Projects in the Columbia River Estuary (Diefenderfer et al. 2005). The major objective of the study was to develop a...

Ecosystem services provided by Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) habitat and Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) habitat; Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) production in Willapa Bay, WA

Creator:: Ramsay, Jessica
Abstract:: Oyster reefs provide an array of ecosystem services. Specifically, they provide structurally complex habitat for fish and invertebrate species such as the commercially important Dungeness crab, Metacarcinus magister. This ecosystem service, once provided by the native oyster Ostrea lurida, is now provided by the commercially cultured oyster Crassostrea gigas in...

Tree Equity Improvement Projects: An Analysis to Guide Urban Forestry Practitioners

Creator:: Little, Todd
Abstract:: Tree equity is a quickly growing subsection of the urban forestry, environmental justice, urban planning, and broad natural resources fields. This concern surrounds whether or not trees have been historically planted and maintained equitably across different regions within a metropolitan area. The significance of urban trees is only now being...

Reviving Whychus Creek: Averting Collisions between the Endangered Species Act and Agricultural Water Use through Proactive Streamflow Restoration

Creator:: Dengel, Jeff
Abstract:: In the wake of policies catalyzing settlement through agrarian-based land ‘improvement’, private property rights absorbed water resources through Western water law. Consequently, these dominant user regimes and the doctrine of prior appropriation allocated nearly 80 percent of freshwater resources to agricultural use. Following enactment of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)...

Non-Regulatory Techniques for Fish and Wildlife Habitat Protection on Private Lands

Creator:: Malouf, Beth
Abstract:: A survey was developed for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect information about non-regulatory fish and wildlife habitat programs in nine states (Alaska, California, Florida, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Pennsylvania, Texas and Vermont). Non-regulatory programs are voluntary and offer incentives to landowners who are interested in protecting or...

Habitat quality and biotic integrity in mountain streams of East Maui, Hawaii

Creator:: Carter, H. Jamieson
Abstract:: Hawaiian streams are valued for environmental, cultural, and aesthetic qualities. Windward streams in East Maui, Hawaii are diverted to irrigate crops in central portions of the island. Diversions typically remove 100% of the base flow and leave downstream reaches dry most of the year. Ground water seeps and springs contribute...

Development and implementation of a fish monitoring program for the Port Honduras Marine Reserve, Punta Gorda, Toledo District, Belize

Creator:: Sommer, Maggie
Abstract:: Marine protected areas are increasingly popular tools for fisheries conservation and enhancement worldwide. Monitoring programs that enable managers to track changes in fish stock abundance, size-frequency of target species, and species diversity are critical to evaluating the success of MPA's. The Port Honduras Marine Reserve (PHMR) in southern Belize encompasses...

Habitat Connectivity and Conservation Prioritization for Golden-winged Warblers in Northwestern North Carolina

Creator:: Woodie, Mikey Bard
Abstract:: Golden-winged Warblers are facing population decline and increasing threats in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Experts believe that breeding habitat loss is one of the primary reasons for Golden-winged Warbler decline in the region. In northwestern North Carolina, research is ongoing to understand the availability of suitable breeding habitat for Golden-winged...

Invasive Species in Riparian Habitats of Washington: Using Species Distribution Models to Guide Monitoring Efforts

Creator:: Smiley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems provide critical habitat for a broad diversity of aquatic and terrestrial species. However, due to their connectivity along river corridors, and the tendency for people to build roads, infrastructure, and other settlements next to rivers, riparian ecosystems are vulnerable to colonization by invasive plant and animal species. Early...
