Researchers investigate the timescale it takes a salt marsh to reestablish in Netarts Bay, Oregon, following the 1700 earthquake.

This study used a mental model approach to explore the potential value of racial/ethnic and gender diversity in marine and fisheries science professions from a cognitive deep-level diversity perspective.

This study highlights the importance of data quality in predicting the distribution and habitat of albatrosses.

To understand the physiological impacts of vessel traffic on baleen whales, researchers investigated the adrenal stress response of gray whales to variable vessel traffic levels through an assessment of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations.

ORSEA connects math and science educators with scientists to create and pilot lessons centered around marine-focused anchoring phenomena.

Zooarchaeological cutmark analysis of sea otter remains from two Late Holocene archaeological sites in northern Oregon. These results affirm tribal assertions of deep-time human-sea otter relationships and use on the Oregon coast prior to extirpation.

This is a compilation of monthly newsletters created in 2022 by the Oregon Coast STEM Hub for educators, industry partners and students on the Oregon Coast.

Oregon Sea Grant funded the creation of the website, which is an outreach component of a study it funded on how groundfish bottom trawling may impact areas of Oregon’s seafloor previously closed to fishing.

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.

This article is on Stage 0 rehabilitation practices and presents an initial synthesis of results that provide a foundation for understanding the effects of this approach on river rehabilitation.

This plan provides a framework and pathway forward to address water supply and use challenges in the mid-coast region, and sustainably balance water needs for people and native fish and wildlife.

This study generated density models to describe and predict seasonal distribution of rorqual whales in Oregon.

Black rubber bands were the most common neck-entangling material, followed by plastic packing bands.

This report on the status of Oregon's marine aquaculture industry identifies barriers to expansion from multiple sectors' perspectives and highlights opportunities to support sustainable expansion with informed regulations to reduce environmental impacts.

This two-page document summarizes the highlights of Oregon Sea Grant staff, students and supported researchers in 2021-22.

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.

Oregon State University hosted a meeting about topics related to Oregon's dunes. Oregon Sea Grant was one of the sponsors. Topics included dune management strategies, carbon storage, plover habitat and native plant revegetation.

This study assesses natural resource management actions within a social-ecological systems perspective to develop a conceptual framework for climate-smart aquaculture.

This survey investigated Oregonians' perception of the risks and economic benefits of exporting natural gas on the West Coast. It also looks at the role of socio-demographic, political ideology, and place-based factors in shaping these perceptions.

This study describes the distribution of C. shasta relative to chum salmon habitat in the Columbia River Basin and assess it potential to cause mortality to juvenile chum salmon.

This video describes outreach and K-12 marine education efforts centered around a new research ship.

This chapter of the OCA report looks at recent assessments and analyses that document increasing rates of sea-level rise and erosion along Oregon’s coasts, and measures are being implemented or considered to adapt to these changes.

In this article, researchers propose a novel concept called “regenerative gatekeeping” to challenge institutional inertia, cultivate belonging, accessibility, justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion in committee work.

This thesis conducted interviews with Oregon stakeholders interested in microplastic pollution and evaluated baseline attitudes towards its management.

This study investigates how women and women of color perceive that their social identities (gender, race, and/or ethnicity) influence their experiences in marine, aquatic and fisheries science-related careers.
