Based on a pilot study completed near Heceta
Beach, Oregon, guidelines have been proposed for
the development of Oregon coastal sand areas.
The guidelines, in the form of performance standards
are designed with respect to the variability of
coastal sand areas. Landscape units and vegetation
associations were grouped to reflect...
Collaborative fisheries research provides a mechanism for integrating the unique knowledge, experience, and skills of fishermen and scientists. It is a joint intellectual endeavor that begins with the inception of a project and continues until its final stages, with each group having mutual investment in-and ownership of-the project. Collaborative fisheries...
Spawning salmon create patches of disturbance through redd digging which can reduce macroinvertebrate abundance and biomass in spawning habitat. We asked whether displaced invertebrates use non-spawning habitats as refugia in streams. Our study explored how the spatial and temporal distribution of macroinvertebrates changed during a pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) spawning...
Meta-analyses of field studies have shown that biomass, density, species richness, and size of organisms protected by no-take marine reserves generally increase over time. The magnitude and timing of changes in these response variables, however, vary greatly and depend upon the taxonomic groups protected, size and type of reserve, oceanographic...

"Annual report : October 1, 1980 to September 30, 1981" "During the year we continued our studies on the clam resources in Oregon's estuaries. Our objectives were: to collect data for developing a scientifically sound clam management database and to refine techniques for assessing the potential for a commercial clam...
"Completion report : October 1, 1979 to December 31, 1981" "We completed Our assessment of commercial clam harvest potential in Tillamook, Yaquina and Coos bays. All three bays contained commercial quantities of clams. Detailed studies in Yaquina Bay in 1981 revealed a biomass estimate of 2.6 million pounds (1,179.1 mt)...
