Despite the high economic and social value of Dungeness crab, no stock assessment work has been conducted on coastal Dungeness crab populations in Oregon. The fishery is currently managed based on a sex, size, and season strategy (e.g. males of a minimum size fished during specified months). It is estimated...
The ocean deployment of arrays of Wave Energy Converters (WEC arrays) appears likely in the near future, and deployment of offshore wind turbines has already started. These technologies tap into a potential renewable energy resource but also involve complex systems with uncertain environmental consequences that will likely scale with the...
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...
