  • Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks
    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks, Oregon and Washington Geologic Resources Division Prepared by John Graham National Park Service January 2010 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a Geologic Resources Inventory report. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and monitoring and research needs. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks (LEWI) on October 14, 2009 at Fort Clatsop Visitors Center, Oregon. Meeting Facilitator Bruce Heise of the Geologic Resources Division (NPS GRD) introduced the Geologic Resources Inventory program and led the discussion regarding geologic processes, features, and issues at Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks. GIS Facilitator Greg Mack from the Pacific West Regional Office (NPS PWRO) facilitated the discussion of map coverage. Ian Madin, Chief Scientist with the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), presented an overview of the region’s geology. On Thursday, October 15, 2009, Tom Horning (Horning Geosciences) and Ian Madin (DOGAMI) led a field trip to several units within Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks.

  • Seagrass Meadows As Seascape Nurseries for Rockfish (Sebastes Spp.)
    Seagrass meadows as seascape nurseries for rockfish (Sebastes spp.) by Angeleen Olson Bachelor of Science (Honours), Simon Fraser University, 2013 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Faculty of Biology ã Angeleen Olson, 2017 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Seagrass meadows as seascape nurseries for rockfish (Sebastes spp.) by Angeleen Olson Bachelor of Science (Honours), Simon Fraser University, 2013 Supervisory Committee Dr. Francis Juanes, Department of Biology Supervisor Dr. Margot Hessing-Lewis, Hakai Institute Co-Supervisor Dr. Rana El-Sabaawi, Department of Biology Departmental Member iii Abstract Nearshore marine habitats provide critical nursery grounds for juvenile fishes, but their functional role requires the consideration of the impacts of spatial connectivity. This thesis examines nursery function in seagrass habitats through a marine landscape (“seascape”) lens, focusing on the spatial interactions between habitats, and their effects on population and trophic dynamics associated with nursery function to rockfish (Sebastes spp.). In the temperate Pacific Ocean, rockfish depend on nearshore habitats after an open-ocean, pelagic larval period. I investigate the role of two important spatial attributes, habitat adjacency and complexity, on rockfish recruitment to seagrass meadows, and the provision of subsidies to rockfish food webs. To test for these effects, underwater visual surveys and collections of young-of-the-year (YOY) Copper Rockfish recruitment (summer 2015) were compared across adjacent seagrass, kelp forest, and sand habitats within a nearshore seascape on the Central Coast of British Columbia.

    CORI Project: 12-27 September 2013 ShoreZone Coastal Habitat Mapping Data Summary Report Northwest Alaska Survey Area Prepared for: NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Region Prepared by: COASTAL & OCEAN RESOURCES ARCHIPELAGO MARINE RESEARCH LTD 759A Vanalman Ave., Victoria BC V8Z 3B8 Canada 525 Head Street, Victoria BC V9A 5S1 Canada (250) 658-4050 (250) 383-4535 www.coastalandoceans.com www.archipelago.ca September 2013 Northwest Alaska Summary (NOAA) 2 SUMMARY ShoreZone is a coastal habitat mapping and classification system in which georeferenced aerial imagery is collected specifically for the interpretation and integration of geological and biological features of the intertidal zone and nearshore environment. The mapping methodology is summarized in Harney et al (2008). This data summary report provides information on geomorphic and biological features of 4,694 km of shoreline mapped for the 2012 survey of Northwest Alaska. The habitat inventory is comprised of 3,469 along-shore segments (units), averaging 1,353 m in length (note that the AK Coast 1:63,360 digital shoreline shows this mapping area encompassing 3,095 km, but mapping data based on better digital shorelines represent the same area with 4,694 km stretching along the coast). Organic/estuary shorelines (such as estuaries) are mapped along 744.4 km (15.9%) of the study area. Bedrock shorelines (Shore Types 1-5) are extremely limited along the shoreline with only 0.2% mapped. Close to half of the shoreline is classified as Tundra (44.3%) with low, vegetated peat the most commonly occurring tundra shore type. Approximately a third (34.1%) of the mapped coastal environment is characterized as sediment-dominated shorelines (Shore Types 21-30).

  • Coastal Environment and Seaweed-Bed Ecology in Japan
    Kuroshio Science 2-1, 15-20, 2008 Coastal Environment and Seaweed-bed Ecology in Japan Kazuo Okuda* Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University (2-5-1, Akebono, Kochi 780-8520, Japan) Abstract Seaweed beds are communities consisting of large benthic plants and distributed widely along Japanese coasts. Species constituting seaweed beds in Japan vary depending on localities because of the influence of cold and warm currents. Seaweed beds are important producers along coastal eco- systems in the world, but they have been reduced remarkably in Japan. Not only artificial construc- tions in seashores but also the Phenomenon called “isoyake” have led to the deterioration of coastal environments. To figure out what is going on in nature, Japanese Government began the nationwide survey of seaweed beds. Although trials to recover seaweed communities have been also carrying out, they are not always the solution of subjects. We should think of harmonious coexistence between nature and human being so that problems might not happen. beds and coastal environments; and 5) Towards the sus- Introduction tainable coexistence between nature and human beings Through four billion years of evolution, life on 1.

    KELP FOREST SEASONS OF THE SEA FOR THE TEACHER Discipline Earth Science Themes Patterns of Change Key Concept Like land habitats, a kelp forest goes through seasonal changes that effect the animals and plants within the community.

While seasonal variations in ocean temperature are not as extreme as those experienced on land (e.g., a hot summer day may not effect sea temperature at all), there are seasonal changes within marine ecosystems that have great impact on the plants and animals within them.
