The world’s ocean and estuaries fascinate many – from oceanographers studying the deep-sea to resource managers regulating fishing seasons to children finding their first seashell on the beach. The complexity of the marine environment is reflected in the specialized and interdisciplinary journals covering marine science. Journals can focus on particular...
People of all ages are intrigued by the ocean, its inhabitants, dynamics and future. Our knowledge grows, but we change the ocean as we use its resources thus creating environmental problems and management challenges. When this volume is published, the Gulf of Mexico will not have recovered from the Deepwater...
Our oceans surround us, and we depend upon them for food, transportation, and recreation. They affect us daily as they shape our climate and rattle our world with unexpected events. Current headlines indicate that they are in flux and perhaps in trouble. Coral reefs are dying due to rising ocean...
Csanady (1998) presents solutions for time-dependent wind-driven flow in a barotropic
coastal ocean. We disagree with two of his three boundary condition options and wish to
clarify the origin of the non-wavelike aspect of the flow
The U.S. Forest Service has published the final version of regulations on the surface use of National Forest lands under the amended mining laws of 1872. These regulations became effective September 1, 1974. Although the Mining Law of 1872 is still largely intact, the new regulations place some requirements in...
This issue of the PMFC bulletin focuses primarily on the English sole, including results of tagging off of various coasts and studies of various populations of English sole. It also gives a review of sablefish tagging in California and details the Oregon trawl fishery for mink food up to 1965.
This issue of the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission bulletin contains a study of annual and seasonal bathymetric catch patterns for commercially important ground fishes of the Pacific Northwest coast.
The Oregon Coast between Yachats and Newport is a narrow, slightly elevated coastal plain. With the exceptions of basalt rock at Yachats and Seal Rock, the bedrock along this segment of the coast is sedimentary. Several Pleistocene marine terrace levels are discernible at places along the plain, and sand dunes,...
As editors of the Marine Science and Technology section for the last three editions of Magazines for Libraries (MFL), we developed lists of journals and annotations to help guide marine sciences acquisitions for all types of libraries. We recommended essential titles at the same time we needed to cancel some...
The purpose of this paper is to give some account of the fossil shark faunas of Oregon. This has been, at best, only introductory to the more than 5,000 specimens now being studied by the author. Many of the genera are listed in Figure 2, but species determinations have not...
One of the most beautiful and geologically interesting parts of the Oregon coast is in the vicinity of Cape Arago near Charleston, 10 miles west of Coos Bay. Three very fine state parks have been developed here. They are (from north to south): Sunset Bay, Shore Acres, and Cape Arago...
