The ecological consequences of widespread fisheries-induced reductions of large pelagic predators are not fully understood. Tropical tunas are considered a main component of apex predator guilds that include sharks and billfishes, and thus may seem unsusceptible to secondary effects of fishing top predators. However, intra-guild predation can occur because of...

This is an integrated assessment across terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal marine realms. It includes the coast range of Oregon and Washington as well as Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The marine portion only includes the coastline and shallow subtidal; the next iteration will include the offshore component.

The middle to upper Eocene Tillamook Volcanics form the basement in the Rock
Creek - Rocky Point area. These tholeiitic to alkalic basalts, basaltic andesites, and
andesites were erupted as shield volcanoes seaward of the strandline ontop of an older
