Increasingly diverse interests in commercial and recreational use of marine resources are creating new challenges for coastal ocean management. One concern of increased offshore use and development off the Oregon coast is the potential impact on marine bird populations. We summarized the primary surveys of seabird breeding colonies and at-sea...
A multidisciplinary team of scientists (Appendix 1) examined 10 of the 16 environmental benchmarks that are tracked by the Oregon Progress Board. The intent of the environmental benchmarks is to provide a fair assessment of the status and trends of Oregon's environmental health. The scientists were asked to clarify benchmark...
In this report we present results of a sound propagation modeling study off the coast of Newport, OR. Preliminary acoustic experimental data was also collected by an underwater glider equipped with a hydrophone to measure sound levels in a short transect perpendicular to the coast and away from a sound...
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...
