Assessment of the potential for conflict between existing ocean space use and renewable energy development off the coast of Oregon

Creator:: Sullivan, Colleen M.
Abstract:: Oregon's ocean waters are a potential source of wind, wave, and tidal energy; of interest to renewable energy entrepreneurs and to the U.S. government as it seeks to bolster energy security. In order to install technology to capture this energy, however, it may be necessary to mitigate conflict with existing...

Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...

Discussion on the use of escape ports in crab traps

Creator:: Stewart, Nelson E. and Oregon Fish Commission
Abstract:: "Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program, Policy Committee Meeting, April 1974." "At the present time most traps used in the Dungeness crab fishery have at least one escape port for the purpose of allowing small crabs to escape. The problem is that there is considerable variation in the...

Discussion on crab mortality associated with certain fishery practices

Creator:: Stewart, Nelson E., Oregon. Fish Commission, and State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program
Abstract:: "Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program. May 1974." "One of the initial objectives of the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program is to evaluate crab mortality caused by certain fishery practices. The areas of most concern include mortality caused by trawling, handling of softshell and sublegal crabs, lost pots...

Foraging behavior of the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) in the Pacific Northwest and potential impacts of coastal hypoxia on foraging efficiency

Creator:: Steingass, Sheanna M.
Abstract:: In the last decade, the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem has experienced a trend of increased severity of upwelling-driven coastal hypoxia. This thesis strove to examine the potential upper trophic level impacts of moderate and severe hypoxia in the CCLME. Initially I conducted a literature review of Pacific harbor seal...

Evaluating Coastal Protection Services Associated with Restoration Management of an Endangered Shorebird in Oregon, U.S.A.

Creator:: Carroll, Lindsay J.
Abstract:: Coastal sand dunes and beaches offer a variety of ecosystem services such as coastal protection, sand stabilization, species conservation, and recreation. However, the management and balance of ecosystem services offered by dunes and beaches is challenging when ecosystem services interact across the landscape. Management focusing only on one ecosystem service...

Development of the fisheries of the Eastern North Pacific : a natural-cultural systems perspective

Creator:: Deimling, Elisabeth A.
Abstract:: The eastern margin of the Eastern North Pacific Ocean was classified into physiographic regions based on a suite of physical characteristics. Information on cultural and biological characteristics of this area was meshed with this classification. The result was a classification of the Eastern North Pacific into natural-cultural systems whose boundaries...

Dynamics of organic matter production and degradation during coastal diatom blooms

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S.
Abstract:: Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...

A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

Creator:: Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
Abstract:: For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

Fine organic debris and dissolved oxygen in streamed gravels in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Skaugset, Arne E.
Abstract:: Intragravel organic loading and intragravel dissolved oxygen were studied to determine the relationship between timber harvesting adjacent to first-, second-, and third-order streams and intragravel water quality. Twenty watersheds in the central Coast Range of western Oregon were studied of which five were undisturbed, nine were partially harvested, and six...
