This article reports on the first high-resolution assessment of pelagic tunicates (Salpa thompsoni) and temporal distributions in the Southern Ocean using glider-borne acoustics.

This paper illustrates challenges and opportunities to marine disease management, assesses applications for marine disease outbreak prevention, response, and recovery and recommends multiple actions for future marine wildlife disease emergencies.

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.

Researchers developed a spatially-explicit hybridization risk model for native and non-native trout. The model can also identify stream reaches with higher risk of hybridization.

Researchers provide examples of how and why a mediated action approach to emotion as a social, distributed, interactional and discursive phenomenon may be helpful as an aspect of informal learning and exhibit design.

Research results suggest that probiotics are effective at preventing bacterial infections in oyster larvae and can significantly improve their performance using a single application early in their development.

Researchers analyze the social interactions of families in an interactive exhibition on biodiversity at the Museum of Science and Life (Brazil), and how the presence of human mediation influenced the experience of family visits to the exhibit.

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

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.

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 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.

This study calculated how long it may take roads and bridges on Oregon coast to open after and earthquake and tsunami.

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.

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.

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 study is on freshwater mussel ecology in Oregon's coastal watersheds. It analyzes stream survey data, co-varying habitat characteristics, and summarizes mussel distribution and host fish co-occurrence.

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.

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.

Researchers examine the growth rate of juvenile English sole under 15 combinations of temperature and dissolved oxygen levels.

Researchers designed and installed an ocean plastics exhibit at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, then evaluated visitor engagement and the exhibit's effects on their reported single-use plastic and plastic-related environmental stewardship goals.

Using bottom trawl survey data from NOAA Fisheries, researchers assessed changes over 40 years in northern California Current continental shelf groundfish assemblage composition, species' presence, and relationships to environmental variables.

This case study uses a mixed methods approach to describe this small, specialized fishery and area of coastal habitat.

This study demonstrates how pressurized fluid injection of clonal plantlets onto a mesh surfce and the growth of the shoot tissue.

Researchers conducted and analyzed a public participation geographic information system mapping survey of Oregon residents to capture uses and perceived values of coastal and marine areas.

The researchers developed essential blood monitoring markers for monitoring the health of sablefish, also known as butterfish or black cod.
