Melting glaciers and shrink- ing polar ice caps continue to raise sea level and alter ocean ecosystems. The intensification of ocean acidification threatens coral reefs and many shelled organisms. Fisheries continue to decline. For- tunately, public awareness of the need for better stewardship of the oceans is growing and steward- ship of the environment is high on the agenda of presidential candidates for both major parties. This renewal of interest in our planet’s oceans is heartening and MSI has been contributing the scientific knowledge that is both fostering public awareness and providing a roadmap to solving these prob- lems. Here are just a few examples: Research into the biological effects of ocean acidification by EEMB faculty member Gretchen Hofmann is revealing how calcifying organisms such as sea urchins, a major local fishery, and pteropods, a major food item for Pacific salmon, are adversely affected by increased ocean acidity. David Lea and James Kennett from Earth Sciences are producing new cli- mate records from the Santa Barbara Basin (California) and the Carico Basin (Venezuela) to test cur- rent ideas on greenhouse forcing of climate. The Santa Barbara Coastal and Moorea Coral Reef Long- Term Ecological Research programs continue to reveal how our local kelp forests and tropical coral reefs respond to changes in the environment. Steven Gaines from EEMB and Christopher Costello from the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management are working on new incentive-based models for managing fisheries that will promote responsible stewardship by their very design. These and other projects continue MSI’s record of being at the forefront of key issues in marine environmen- tal research. The vigorous research programs at MSI have resulted in another year of growth at the institute. MSI received a record $25.7 million in extramural awards and managed a record total portfolio $112 mil- lion in awards last fiscal year. Accommodating this growth in the face of declining state budgets is a challenge as our administrative staffing levels remain constant despite a 30% growth in the value of extramural awards over the past three years. It is only through the dedication of our staff that MSI continues to provide quality service to its researchers. I want to take this opportunity to thank our staff for their dedication to MSI during difficult times and tell them that their efforts are both noticed 4 and appreciated. My goal of bringing our staffing in line with workload will continue. There have been some significant changes at MSI this year. The extramural grants administration function of the Department of Ecology Evolution and Marine Biology has been transferred to MSI. I welcome our new colleagues and look forward to facilitating their research. The Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) also recently transferred their administrative support needs to MSI. CCBER houses regionally focused collections of terrestrial plants, algae, and vertebrates. It also supports local ecological restoration efforts and contributes to both university and K-12 education. CCBER has had links to MSI for years through partnerships and collaborations with the UC Natural Reserves managed by MSI. These efforts have been extremely successful. This year the “Kids in Nature” program that is run as a joint partnership between CCBER and the Sedgwick Reserve was awarded the 2007 Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award in the category of Children’s Environmental Education. MSI has expanded and improved its computational infrastructure with the construction of a new server room with better cooling and greater capacity. My thanks to our Information Technology Man- ager, James Woods, for his efforts to make the new server room a reality and for a smooth transition in getting all of the servers and other equipment transferred to the new location with essentially no disruption to computer services. Planning for the Ocean Science Education Building (OSEB) is in its final phases. This cooperative effort between NOAA and UCSB will house offices for the NOAA Channel Island National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS) and the Ocean Center for Teaching Ocean Science (OCTOS). OCTOS will serve the outreach needs of the CINMS and MSI using technologically state-of-the-art interactive exhibits and classrooms. Last year, MSI and CINMS served nearly 35,000 students through programs in the Channel Islands, the Santa Barbara Harbor and the Research Experience & Education Facility (REEF) on the UCSB campus. The construction of the OSEB in the near future will provide a spectacular new venue for these joint efforts in ocean education. I am proud of the accomplishments of MSI researchers over the past year. It is a pleasure to serve such a fine institution. I look forward to the discoveries that will be made in the coming year.

It is an inspiring facility and location, and it has taken the hard work of many individuals to make it a reality. At UCSB in the 1980’s and 1990’s, Marine Science facilities could be described as dispersed, inadequate, and not up to the standards of a world class research institution. Long-standing efforts to get a facility approved and built had met with no success. However, things began to change with the identification of a State of California program that provided a financing mechanism for research facilities dedicated to long-term scientific activities.

  • Ecological Change in the Oceans and the Role of Fisheries
    Ecological Change in the Oceans and the Role of Fisheries Boris Worm Department of Biology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada When I took a course with Elisabeth Mann Borgese in 1999, she reminded us that the oceans are constantly changing, both in their outer appearance, and their internal workings. Constant ecological change makes the ocean fascinat- ing to observe and study, but challenging to understand and manage. Long-term changes are brought about by geological processes such as sedi- ment transport, volcanism, and plate tectonics that affect the very shape of ocean basins and the extent of habitat features such as shallow shelf seas con- ducive to biological productivity. On intermediate time scales, climate-driven changes in ocean temperature, circulation, and chemistry can have profound ecological effects on the abundance and distribution of marine life forms, and even caused massive extinction events in the past. Over the last few thousand years, however, people have gradually become a dominant agent of change in the oceans. Initially tied to the continents where we evolved, human hunters at least 42,000 years ago started to venture out into the ocean to pursue large fish.1 Driven by changes in fishing technology, human population size, and global trade, this role has been extending to all ocean basins, and even parts of the deep sea. Over the last two decades, the profound ecological change brought about by human activities has also been studied in detail by the sci- entific community. Although human impacts on ocean ecosystems involve many pathways, there is little doubt that fishing— defined here as any extraction of marine animals and plants—is the activity that historically has had the most trans- formative ecological effects.2 Although it is not clear how much marine life has been removed over the entire history of fishing, recent total catches likely 1 S.
