The Oregon coast has been identified as an area with great potential for production of electricity from wave and wind energy, and development of marine renewable energy facilities are being discussed for several locations along the Oregon coast. The potential impact of this development on eastern gray whales is largely...
Interest has increased in developing renewable energy sources to reduce U. S. dependence on oil. Policy makers and resource managers now are considering power generation technologies proposed for development along the Continental Shelf of the U. S. Pacific coast beyond state waters. This region supports abundant populations of seabirds and...
The objective of this workshop was to identify studies that should be conducted to properly
determine potential effects from power generating buoys on marine mammals of the Oregon
coast, with emphasis on cetaceans and focal discussion on gray whales. Special emphasis was put
on the acoustic output from both the...

Economists and biologists have recognized that spatial and temporal area-closures may provide an effective means of managing the impact that fisheries have on one another and upon threatened species. To date, however, little work has been done to estimate the economic impact of protected areas on commercial fishing. One significant...
Each review covers the population, abundance and distribution, food and feeding, habits, reproduction, mortality and economics, anthropogenic interactions and mortality. The review was completed in May 1998 while the author was a student intern.
