The School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences (SAFS) values the strengths and professional experience that students, faculty, and staff bring to our community. We are committed to providing an excellent education to all of our students, regardless of their race, gender, class, nationality, physical ability, religion, age, or sexual orientation. We are proud of the different roles that our students, staff, and faculty play in the community of the School and the College of the Environment. We also recognize that science is richer and the SAFS community is more vibrant when a diverse group of people participate in research. To this end, we pledge to increase diversity among our students, faculty, and staff, and create a welcoming and supportive environment for learning and discovery. The University of Washington acknowledges the Coast Salish people of this land, the land which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot Nations.

Cobb, to a School within a College of the Environment with 29 faculty, 175 students and post-doctoral fellows, and 75 research and administrative staff that has awarded almost 2000 bachelor’s, over 1000 master’s and over 500 doctoral degrees. The College of Fisheries was the first school in the US to offer education and training in Andrė Punt the field of fisheries and remains at the academic forefront of fisheries and many other aquatic disciplines. It is impossible to list all the significant events in the School’s history, but a number of them really stand out for me: the first students graduating from the School in 1921; the establishment of the Applied Fisheries Laboratory in 1943, which led to the hatchery; the creation of the Fisheries Research Institute in 1947 and the first field season for salmon research in Alaska the following year; Doug Chapman teaching the first statistics course in 1949 that began the legacy that defines SAFS as the “Gold Standard” of quantitative fishery science; and the change of the School’s name to better reflect our evolving mission in 2000. Our research programs and the courses we teach have evolved with the disciplines that we represent. For example, food science—once a core part of the School—is no more, while almost half our faculty use genetic and genomic techniques, methods that did not exist when the School was founded. And, terms such as Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management and Invasion Ecology, which did not exist even when the School turned 50, are now fundamental to the work that many of us do. This commemorative booklet represents the past—distant and recent—of the School. It outlines the School’s history; profiles a small subset of our many amazing alumni, faculty, and staff, spanning most of our century of excellence; and lists our endowments, without which we could not continue to fund our students and give faculty opportunities to explore new avenues of research. Our students are our ultimate legacy, and the faculty and staff of SAFS are proud to support their growth as students and their success as alumni. Our alumni are found worldwide in leadership roles, conducting fundamental and applied research in government and tribal agencies, academia, the fishing industry, consulting companies, and non-governmental organizations. Collaboration among individuals and institutions is a cornerstone of our success, and our alumni and affiliate faculty have played an essential role in building and maintaining these relationships. The past is bright, but the future is brighter. We will continue to build on our history of innovation, application, and service, and our achievements over the next 100 years will be remarkable. I am proud that the School is striving to better reflect the community we serve by supporting efforts to transform the culture and practices of SAFS to make it a more inclusive, diverse, and supportive environment. Considering the investment into these efforts by our current SAFS community, I anticipate that in 2119, when the director writes the introduction to the bicentennial celebration, SAFS faculty, staff, and students will be fully reflective of the peoples of Washington State, and the School will continue its tradition as the premier institution for scholarship in fisheries and aquatic sciences. —André E. Punt (March 2019) 1 SAFS 100-Year Timeline This abridged version of our School’s history highlights important events in SAFS leadership, curriculum, and evolution. The timeline was derived in part from former Director Robert R. Stickney’s account of SAFS—from its inception in 1919 through 1985—in his 1989 book, Flagship: A History of Fisheries at the University of Washington (Kendall–Hunt Publishing Company). The historical timeline continues with significant SAFS activities and events from 1985 to 2019. The Beginning 1919 Thirteen students enroll in the first US College of Fisheries—established April 2 on the UW campus under the direction of John N. Cobb. 1920s 1921 First five students graduate from the College of Fisheries. Cobb evaluates effectiveness of Yakima River fishways and recommends changes. 1929 Enrollment exceeds 100 students. 1930s 1930 Dean Cobb dies; the College of Fisheries temporarily ceases to exist. William F. Thompson becomes Director of the UW Department of Fisheries. International Fisheries Commission (now International Pacific Halibut Commission) housed in UW Department of Fisheries. 1932 Lauren Donaldson begins trout mass selection program. 1935 UW Board of Regents approves name change to the School of Fisheries in the College of Science, under Acting Director William F. Thompson. 1937 International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission founded and housed in the School. William F. Thompson appointed part-time Research Director. 1938 First research vessel, the cabin cruiser Kokanee, constructed. 1940s 1943 Only six enrollees because of WWII. Lauren Donaldson asked by the US Government to study effects of radiation on Columbia River salmon; leads to creation of the Applied Fisheries Laboratory within the School. left to right: UW Fisheries Club, 1923; John N.

  • SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES and RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: a Guide for USAID Staff and Partners
    SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES AND RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: A Guide for USAID Staff and Partners June 2013 ABOUT THIS GUIDE GOAL This guide provides basic information on how to design programs to reform capture fisheries (also referred to as “wild” fisheries) and aquaculture sectors to ensure sound and effective development, environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and social responsibility. To achieve these objectives, this document focuses on ways to reduce the threats to biodiversity and ecosystem productivity through improved governance and more integrated planning and management practices. In the face of food insecurity, global climate change, and increasing population pressures, it is imperative that development programs help to maintain ecosystem resilience and the multiple goods and services that ecosystems provide. Conserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions are central to maintaining ecosystem integrity, health, and productivity. The intent of the guide is not to suggest that fisheries and aquaculture are interchangeable: these sectors are unique although linked. The world cannot afford to neglect global fisheries and expect aquaculture to fill that void. Global food security will not be achievable without reversing the decline of fisheries, restoring fisheries productivity, and moving towards more environmentally friendly and responsible aquaculture. There is a need for reform in both fisheries and aquaculture to reduce their environmental and social impacts. USAID’s experience has shown that well-designed programs can reform capture fisheries management, reducing threats to biodiversity while leading to increased productivity, incomes, and livelihoods. Agency programs have focused on an ecosystem-based approach to management in conjunction with improved governance, secure tenure and access to resources, and the application of modern management practices.

An introduction to the Theme Section on fisheries bycatch Candan U. Soykan1,*, Jeffrey E. Moore2, Ramunas ¯ 5ydelis2, Larry B. Crowder2, Carl Safina3, Rebecca L. Lewison1 1Biology Department, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Dr., San Diego, California 92182-4614, USA 2Center for Marine Conservation, Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University Marine Laboratory, 135 Duke Marine Lab Road, Beaufort,North Carolina 28516, USA 3Blue Ocean Institute, PO Box 250, East Norwich, New York 11732, USA ABSTRACT: Several high-profile examples of fisheries bycatch involving marine megafauna (e.g. dolphins in tuna purse-seines, albatrosses in pelagic longlines, sea turtles in shrimp trawls) have drawn attention to the unintentional capture of non-target species during fishing operations, and have resulted in a dramatic increase in bycatch research over the past 2 decades. Although a number of successful mitigation measures have been developed, the scope of the bycatch problem far exceeds our current capacity to deal with it. Specifically, we lack a comprehensive understanding of bycatch rates across species, fisheries, and ocean basins, and, with few exceptions, we lack data on demographic responses to bycatch or the in situ effectiveness of existing mitigation measures. As an introduction to this theme section of Endangered Species Research ‘Fisheries bycatch: problems and solutions’, we focus on 5 bycatch-related questions that require research attention, building on exam- ples from the current literature and the contributions to this Theme Section.

BtSHOJ' MOSEtrM INTRODUCTION The following report on crustaceans selected from materia1lwhich has accumulated in Bishop Museum for several years inc1uder (1), new species, (2) known species as new Hawaiian records, an,(i (3) known species rarely recorded in the central Pacific. Recently, valuable collections have been received as a result of the current dredging operations of the M alliin, a boat of the Fi hand Game Division, Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry. These collections clearly reveal the presence of a crustacean fauna a ut the Hawaiian Islands. at depths of about 10 fathoms and beyond, which is not seen on the shallow reefs. Many of the unique species taken nearly 50 years ago by the Albatross of the United States Fis Com~ mission have again been brought to view. Other rare crustaceans recorded in the report were receive1 from the Honolulu Aquarium and came from fish traps operated b~ com­ mercial fishermen off the coast of Oahu at depths ranging aro~nd 16 fathoms. These specimens show that fauna at these depths har close affinities with that of the western Pacific and the Indian Ocej. It is well known that many organisms, both land and marine ~orrns, have been introduced into the Hawaiian area within recent I.years, chiefly as a result of war activities. Ocean-going craft returning to Hawaii from forward areas in the Pacific transport on theil' hulls marine organisms not previously recognized among local shore fauna, and some of these inunigrants become established in the new e9viron­ ment.

    Open Letter to the Right Honorable Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada and the Honourable Geoff Regan, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada The Right Honourable Paul Martin Prime Minister’s Office Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A2 613-995-0101 [email protected] The Honourable Geoff Regan Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Minister’s Office, Centennial Tower 200 Kent Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E6 Fax: 613-990-7292 [email protected] October 17th, 2005 Dear Prime Minister Martin and Minister Regan, We urge you to take advantage of a historical opportunity to secure significant protection for the world’s deep-ocean ecosystems on the high seas – the two-thirds of the world’s oceans that lie beyond the jurisdiction of any nation. We are calling on you to exercise Canadian leadership in the negotiation of a moratorium on deep-sea bottom trawl fishing on the high seas at the United Nations General Assembly this year. Supporting a moratorium would address the effects of foreign overfishing of straddling stocks that cross Canada’s EEZ on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. In addition, such an action would be in keeping with Canada’s national and international commitments to biodiversity protection. We further urge you to take action in Canadian waters, by recognizing the effects of trawling and implementing habitat protection measures, gear restrictions and supporting the use of alternative and less destructive gear types. Both actions would be strongly supported by the Canadian public and Canada would truly be seen as a leader in the global movement to restore, conserve and protect the marine environment.
