Researchers investigate what are the sources of organic matter sequestered in minerogenic salt marshes, and the sources change through time.

Research finds microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in the edible tissue of U.S. West Coast seafood species.

By collecting and assessing microparticle loads in zooplankton prey and fecal samples of gray whales, researchers estimate their consumption rate of microparticles.

An Oregon Sea Grant Extension Agent authored a chapter in this unique textbook that explores the interdisciplinary field of marine studies, exploring the dynamic relationship between people and the marine environment.

This case study examines how Oregon's Latinx coastal community perceives critical facilities and identifies new locations valued by this community as places to go in time of need.

This report is a summary of the current understanding of the climate mitigation potential of Oregon’s coastal and marine habitats.

This workshop report summarizes commercial fishing industry input on feasible and practical improvements to gear marking in the sablefish pot gear off the West Coast to improve NOAA’s ability to identify the source fishery of large whale entanglements.

This chapter reports on findings from studies of family talk at touch tank exhibits containing marine vertebrate and invertebrate animals located on the West coast of the U.S. and at a diorama-based exhibit of marine animals on the East coast of Brazil.

Researchers found data from wind tunnel experiments indicate there is a spatial lag from the canopy leading edge to a downwind location where sediment deposition first occurs.

An Oregon Sea Grant Extension Agent authored a chapter in this unique textbook that explores the interdisciplinary field of marine studies, exploring the dynamic relationship between people and the marine environment.

This research proposes a method to assess the distribution of environmental resistance of stream ecosystems to biological invasions by coupling multi-stage habitat potential models for non-native species.

Researchers' findings use fine-scale species distribution models to assess space-use conflicts in dynamic marine ecosystems and can be used to guide fisheries management to reduce entanglement risk in Oregon.

This article reports how the Journey for Aspiring Students Pursuing Ecological Research program uniquely integrates research with STEM education.

This new edition contains 30 Quests along the Oregon coast, including four that are completely new to the book.

This study focuses on the EPA's Safer Choice standard, a certification program that validates specific cleaning products.

This report is a comprehensive analysis of the seaweed industry in Oregon and the emerging possiblities for the local economoy and environment.

This article highlights a few of the programs and tools that Oregon Sea Grant has developed and challenges readers to join the effort to increase resilience throughout the nation.

Based on the Human-Centered Design, researchers conducted in-depth interviews to discover employee needs, evaluated data and proposed organizational strategies to improve employees' experiences.

Researchers review hydrologic, geomorphic, ecologic, and social conditions in the Willamette River basin through time—including pre-settlement, river development, and contemporary periods—and offer a future vision for consideration.

The results of this study provide insight into how the microbiome of Pacific oysters may affect their early development, which can inform hatchery and nursery practices.

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.

Researchers sampled 16 coastal watersheds in Oregon for current-use water-borne herbicides commonly used in forestland vegetation management. Models predicted south coast sites have higher than average herbicide concentrations, which aligns with findings.

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.

A new approach to assessing the impacts of hypoxia on fish can be used to compare impacts among species and across other physical, biological, and chemical gradients and environmental change.

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.
