On behalf of the entire Conference Planning Team and the CERF Board of Directors, we are pleased to welcome you to the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation’s 20th Biennial International Conference in Portland, Oregon. Our conference theme is “Estuaries and Coasts in a Changing World.” As with all CERF meetings (and ERF meetings past), this theme is reflected in the mix of scientific and management-oriented presentations as well as a focus on regional issues of the Pacific Northwest. We are proud to present a full slate of 974 oral and 408 And since you taxed your carbon budget just traveling poster presentations in ten concurrent sessions most days and eleven to the meeting, you can forget the car and just hop on some as well as an exciting lineup of keynote presenters, a rich on the MAX Light Rail and other public transit that offering of workshops and field trips, interesting vendor and sponsor stops right outside the Convention Center doors. booths, and interaction areas inside an enormous poster hall.

  • Eggs of the Copepod Acartia Tonsa Dana Require Hypoxic Conditions to Tolerate Prolonged Embryonic Development Arrest Tue Sparholt Jørgensen1,2*, Per Meyer Jepsen1, H
    Jørgensen et al. BMC Ecol (2019) 19:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-018-0217-5 BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Eggs of the copepod Acartia tonsa Dana require hypoxic conditions to tolerate prolonged embryonic development arrest Tue Sparholt Jørgensen1,2*, Per Meyer Jepsen1, H. Cecilie B. Petersen1, Dennis Steven Friis1 and Benni Winding Hansen1* Abstract Background: Copepods make up the largest zooplankton biomass in coastal areas and estuaries and are pivotal for the normal development of fsh larva of countless species. During spring in neritic boreal waters, the copepod pelagic biomass increases rapidly from near absence during winter. In the calanoid species Acartia tonsa, a small fraction of eggs are dormant regardless of external conditions and this has been hypothesized to be crucial for sediment egg banks and for the rapid biomass increase during spring. Other eggs can enter a state of induced arrest called quies- cence when external conditions are unfavourable. While temperature is known to be a pivotal factor in the transition from developing to resting eggs and back, the role of pH and free Oxygen in embryo development has not been systematically investigated. Results: Here, we show in a laboratory setting that hypoxic conditions are necessary for resting eggs to maintain a near-intact rate of survival after several months of induced resting. We further investigate the infuence of pH that is realistic for natural sediments on the viability of resting eggs and document the efect that eggs have on the pH of the surrounding environment. We fnd that resting eggs acidify their immediate surroundings and are able to survive in a wide range of pH.

  • CA Students Urge Assembly Members to Pass AB
    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Members of the California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Thousands of CA Public School Students Strongly Urge Support for AB 101 Dear Members of the Assembly, We are a coalition of California high school and college students known as Teach Our History California. Made up of the youth organizations Diversify Our Narrative and GENup, we represent 10,000 youth leaders from across the State fighting for change. Our mission is to ensure that students across California high schools have meaningful opportunities to engage with the vast, diverse, and rich histories of people of color; and thus, we are in deep support of AB101 which will require high schools to provide ethnic studies starting in academic year 2025-26 and students to take at least one semester of an A-G approved ethnic studies course to graduate starting in 2029-30. Our original petition made in support of AB331, linked here, was signed by over 26,000 CA students and adult allies in support of passing Ethnic Studies. Please see appended to this letter our letter in support of AB331, which lists the names of all our original petition supporters. We know AB101 has the capacity to have an immense positive impact on student education, but also on student lives as a whole. For many students, our communities continue to be systematically excluded from narratives presented to us in our classrooms. By passing AB101, we can change the precedent of exclusion and allow millions of students to learn the histories of their peoples.

This process aims to achieve the Good Environmental Status (GES) through the elaborated 11 Ecological Objectives and their respective common indicators. Since 2008, Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention have adopted the EcAp and agreed on a roadmap for its implementation. First phases of the EcAp process led to the accomplishment of 5 steps of the scheduled 7-steps process such as: 1) Definition of an Ecological Vision for the Mediterranean; 2) Setting common Mediterranean strategic goals; 3) Identification of an important ecosystem properties and assessment of ecological status and pressures; 4) Development of a set of ecological objectives corresponding to the Vision and strategic goals; and 5) Derivation of operational objectives with indicators and target levels.

  • The Fate of Wild Salmon on the West Coast Depends on Protection of Regional Strongholds
    Wild Salmon Center Annual Report 2011 Credit LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT July 2012 What does it take to really “protect” a salmon river? The business of conservation sometimes feels like a perpetual rush to confront a crisis, whether it’s a proposal to clear cut a forested watershed, a high- impact mining project, or a poacher’s assault on spawning salmon in a freshwater stream. The fundamental problem is that by the time the threat appears, we are often too late—the cause for the collapse of a salmon run has become entrenched or the development proposal is moving forward. We the most productive sockeye salmon ecosystem in will always need to respond to these threats, and we Russia. The habitat of the Ozernaya’s river and lake do every day. But a more proactive strategy is to target salmon ecosystem is under permanent protection the most productive and diverse salmon rivers in within the South Kamchatka Nature Reserve, and the each region and establish safeguards that will prevent Ust-Bolsheretsky Watershed Council—the first public new threats. This is the paradigm behind the salmon salmon council created on Kamchatka Peninsula—is stronghold strategy. building support and local commitment to protect the Ozernaya Watershed. The Wild Salmon Center has developed a three pronged approach to implement this strategy: protect large areas And now the third objective is within reach: in April of critical habitat, prioritize wild fish conservation and of 2011, the Ozernaya sockeye fishery entered the full sustainable harvest levels, and build and support local assessment phase of the MSC certification process.
