Nearshore Study Presentation 2011 Project Meeting Overviewkknewkkloecker
This document outlines a study examining the factors influencing sea otter populations and coastal ecosystems along the Pacific coast. The study will use multiple approaches, including remote sensing, watershed modeling, health assessments, diet analysis and population monitoring to analyze how ocean productivity, watershed inputs, contaminants and disease affect sea otters and the nearshore environment from Alaska to California. Results will provide insights into managing threats and recovering sea otter populations.
The document discusses how the oceans are being impacted by climate change. It notes that 90% of excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions is trapped in the oceans. It also discusses how ocean temperatures and acidification have increased substantially over the past century due to carbon emissions. This is negatively impacting marine species distribution, coral reefs, and primary production. Migration patterns of some species like whales and fish are changing in response to warmer waters.

(1) The document discusses uranium mineralization found in sandstone deposits in Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania and the environmental issues surrounding potential uranium mining in the area.
(2) Baseline studies were conducted to measure background radiation levels in soils, sediments, water, food crops, and vegetation to establish preliminary radiation levels before any mining occurs.
(3) The studies found slightly elevated uranium and thorium levels in some samples near the Mkuju River but generally radiation levels were comparable to control samples. These baseline measurements will be used to evaluate potential environmental impacts if the mine becomes operational.
The Changing Oceans Expedition visited cold-water coral reefs in the North Atlantic to examine the effect of climate change on these ecosystems. During the expedition, schoolchildren from a local Hebridean high school visited the research vessel to learn first-hand about marine science. The children were able to observe the coral reefs using a remotely operated vehicle, interact with scientists, and help communicate their new understanding back home. The goal was to help the public connect marine science with environmental protection by giving students this educational experience.
1) Natural infrastructure like coral reefs can help sustain coastal populations by reducing risks from hazards. Coral reefs attenuate wave energy and storms surges, providing coastal protection.
2) Assessing the risk reduction and economic benefits of natural infrastructure requires quantifying hazards, exposure, damages with and without the ecosystem. For example, modeling showed reefs in Mexico reduced risk of 1-in-25 year losses by $23 million.
3) Restoration of degraded reefs can help regain their coastal protection functions. A pilot project in Mexico transplanted corals to stabilize shorelines and decrease erosion, showing restoration provides benefits within a few years.
Coral Reef Restoration Research ProjectMelissa Olson
A 3 month study involving water quality testing and site analysis of three different locations along Barbados' coastal waters in order to determine the optimal site for coral transplantation with an end goal of increasing the overall health and abundance of reef ecosystems.
Climate change and global warming have severe consequences for the survival of scleractinian (reef-building) corals and their associated ecosystems. This review summarizes recent literature on the influence of temperature on coral growth, coral bleaching, and modelling the effects of high temperature on corals. Satellite-based sea surface temperature (SST) and coral bleaching information available on the internet is an important tool in monitoring and modelling coral responses to temperature. Within the narrow temperature range for coral growth, corals can respond to rate of temperature change as well as to temperature per se. We need to continue to develop models of how non-steady-state processes such as global warming and climate change will affect coral reefs.
Climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now clearly indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to greenhouse gases derived from human activities.
As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent. Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification.
Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter ecosystem function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe.

C5.01: Ocean acidification and seawater carbon chemistry of the Great Barrier...Blue Planet Symposium
This document summarizes research on ocean acidification and carbonate chemistry in the Great Barrier Reef. The research aims to determine how exposure to ocean acidification is changing on the reefs and identify drivers of variability. Observations from sites along the Great Barrier Reef and models show that seasonal changes in carbonate chemistry are linked to a winter source of CO2 on the Great Barrier Reef shelf. Coastal inputs also influence carbonate chemistry. The research uses data from ship surveys, moorings and sampling to improve biogeochemical models of the region from individual reef to whole Great Barrier Reef scales.

Ribbed Mussel ability to remove Nitrogen from water bodies.ecowatchers
Professor Chester Zarnock explains recently completed and published study showing the benefits of ribbed mussels in a salt marsh including their denitrification potential
The document discusses the issue of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and its impacts on marine life and ecosystems. Through research, it has been found that large amounts of plastic pollution in the oceans are killing and injuring marine animals like turtles who often ingest plastic bags mistaking them for jellyfish. There is also evidence that the garbage accumulating on ocean floors is limiting food sources for smaller sea creatures and creating an imbalanced ecosystem. Further research is still needed to fully understand all of the impacts of deep sea garbage sitting on the ocean bottom.
Paul Maxwell, AMSA 2013. Managing Seagrass Resilience: feedbacks and scalesaceas13tern
"I’m a phd student from Griffith University. Today I’m presenting the outcomes of a workshop I was lucky enough to attend which was funded by ACEAS, the Australian Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. I’m presenting on behalf of a host of co-authors who are listed here. I thank them for the opportunity to present on their behalf." -Paul Maxwell
The aim of the ACEAS workshop was to generate a framework that outlines how a sea grasses response to impact operates on multiple scales and how understanding that scale is vital for understanding how seagrass ecosystems develop, maintain and enhance their resilience to disturbances.
The document discusses the costs and benefits of removing dams. It notes that while dam removal can help restore river ecology by allowing fish passage and sediment movement, it may also negatively impact reservoir habitats and release toxins from sediments. Case studies show dam removal improved fish diversity but also initially increased turbidity. An analysis should weigh ecological and economic factors to determine if removal criteria are met for a particular dam.
Many factors can affect the condition of marine coral reef ecosystems. Increased water temperatures, sea level rise, and ocean acidification from climate change cause coral bleaching and death. Natural disasters like hurricanes can also physically damage corals. Human activities that release pollution or cause physical damage, like coastal development, tourism, and resource extraction, negatively impact coral reefs by reducing water quality and destroying coral structures. Political and economic conditions also influence threats like illegal fishing methods that harm coral reef food chains. Overall, both natural and human factors are degrading coral reef ecosystems around the world.
This document analyzes data from a citizen science marine survey program called Seasearch to describe the spatial distribution of pink sea fan colonies in southwest UK coastal waters from 2001-2012. It finds that pink sea fan colonies are concentrated in some areas but also exist outside of existing Marine Protected Areas, potentially putting them at risk from bottom-towed fishing activities. The analysis demonstrates how organized citizen science data can help inform broad scale patterns of biodiversity and assesses whether the locations of pink sea fans match up with areas that have legal protection from bottom-towed fishing gears.
The document summarizes a study that developed a systems dynamics model to examine the interactions between cockle fishing, sediment characteristics, and cockle biomass in the Wadden Sea. The model analyzed how fishing rates, sediment silt content, and bird predation impact cockle populations. The results showed that fishing fewer than 45 boats and maintaining over 0.5% sediment silt content prevents cockle stock collapse. The document provides background on the study area and species, describes the conceptual model, parameter values, and Stella model developed.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) works on several programs to protect UK seas including fisheries management, reducing marine pollution, and monitoring marine species and habitats. Through their Beachwatch program, over 110,000 volunteers have collected litter data along UK coastlines. This data has helped pass policies like single-use plastic bag bans. MCS also runs a citizen science diving program called Seasearch that collects species and habitat records to help identify and manage marine protected areas. The document describes a case study where MCS used a community engagement method to facilitate stakeholder workshops on managing the Kingmere Marine Conservation Zone off the Sussex coast.
The document discusses shallow lake ecology, focusing on Crooked Lake in Anoka County, Minnesota. It provides an overview of physical properties, biological characteristics, water quality drivers, and diagnostic tools for shallow lakes. Key points include:
1) Shallow lakes are defined as having a maximum depth of 15 feet or less, or with 80% of the area shallow enough to support aquatic plants.
2) Water quality in shallow lakes is driven by nutrients like phosphorus, with high phosphorus leading to turbid conditions and low phosphorus resulting in clear water.
3) Management strategies aim to switch shallow lakes from a turbid state to a clear water state and include external nutrient control, biomanipulation of
Marine Invasives of Kachemak Bay, AlaskaKBay Council
This document discusses marine invasives of concern in Kachemak Bay, Alaska. It describes characteristics of successful invaders like green crabs and tunicates, which are able to establish due to a lack of natural predators and broad tolerances. Shipping ballast water is identified as the primary vector introducing over 80% of non-native species to North America. The document advocates for monitoring programs aimed at early detection of invaders, as well as regulatory actions like mid-ocean ballast exchange, as the most effective approaches for preventing and responding to marine invasives in Kachemak Bay.
This document outlines a proposed study to examine the relationship between gray whale presence and local primary productivity off the coast of southern California. The study hypothesizes that gray whale presence will directly increase primary productivity through increased iron and nitrogen availability from whale fecal plumes. Over three years, the study would tag and track gray whale migrations, intensively sample areas in and outside the migration zone before, during and after migrations, and test abiotic and biotic parameters to compare productivity with and without whale presence. Results are proposed to show either short or long term increases in productivity, or no effect.
Sustainable Design Through Oyster Reef RestorationKayla Kernich
Oyster reefs are important for coastal ecosystems but have declined globally by 85% due to overharvesting. This document details a project that designed and tested biologically compatible structures made of crab trap wire to provide substrate for oyster spat attachment and reef restoration. The objectives were to design configurations of crab trap wire, implement prototypes, and study their ecological compatibility and stability. Prototypes included cylinders, mobius strips, sloped rectangles, and permeable pavement treatments. The structures aim to rebuild oyster reef populations and protect coastal shorelines in the ACE Basin region.
The document summarizes a 2001 paper by Dr. Jeremy Jackson analyzing changes to coastal ecosystems due to overfishing and pollution over recent centuries. It finds collapses in populations of large vertebrates and sessile ecosystem engineers, with communities shifting to bacterially-dominated states. Unless large species are restored through experimental reintroduction, Jackson warns coastal ecosystems may be dominated by microbes within decades, fundamentally altering ocean evolution.
The document discusses a planning meeting to discuss water quality monitoring and coral reef protection efforts in Ka'anapali, Maui. It introduces representatives from organizations involved in these efforts and outlines an agenda covering turbidity monitoring, the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area, ongoing research, and opportunities for community involvement in monitoring. The goal is to brainstorm how to strengthen the Ka'anapali Makai Watch program through increased education, outreach, and volunteer monitoring activities.

Bees are declining globally each year, threatening food and clothing production as their pollination is essential. A new Apiculture Incubation Farm in Dubai aims to breed more bees through educational programs to address the problem. The "Bees For Us Project" campaign raises funds for the farm's unique system to sustain bee populations and propagation among communities. People can contribute financially now for bee conservation efforts while being entered to win prizes and help address the rising costs of living impacted by fewer bees.
Film distribution involves making movies available to audiences through marketing, release dates, and exhibition methods. A distributor determines strategy and media for viewing, such as movie theaters, television, or home video. Major distributors in the film industry come from the UK and USA, including 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, and Warner Bros. There are three main types of distribution: global theatrical release worldwide; direct distribution to streaming services like Netflix without a cinema release; and non-theatrical distribution on DVD without a public platform. The film industry is struggling as easier editing and online piracy cut into distribution company profits and production companies self-distribute on streaming services.

Retrospective Analysis of Antarctic Tracking DataAlison Specht
This document describes the SCAR Retrospective Analysis of Antarctic Tracking Data (RAATD) project. The project involves analyzing over 4060 animal tracking records from 17 Antarctic species, totaling nearly 3 million location points. The goal is to identify Areas of Ecological Significance in the Southern Ocean that are important for multiple predator species and have high biodiversity of lower trophic levels. Habitat utilization models are being developed for each species to predict habitat use globally based on environmental conditions. Preliminary results from a habitat model for Southern elephant seals are shown, identifying regions of high and low predicted habitat suitability. The project aims to improve understanding of Antarctic ecosystem processes and inform spatial management decisions.

This document provides information about the 3rd International Conference on Oceanography held from June 22-24, 2015 in Philadelphia, USA. It includes the scientific program schedule over the three days, with topics ranging from marine science and engineering to coastal resources and marine pollution. There were keynote speakers, workshops, and panel discussions. Poster presentations were also part of the program on the second day. The conference was organized by OMICS Group to bring together oceanographers and researchers from around the world to present their work.
This thesis studied sea turtle stranding events along the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia between 2008 and 2014. A total of 205 stranded sea turtles were admitted to a rehabilitation center, with 161 being green turtles and 36 hawksbills. Spatial analysis identified two regions and five hotspot locations with high stranding frequencies. Strandings peaked from October to December and some years had higher stranding numbers than others. A correlation was found between stranding events in some locations and lagged rainfall data, suggesting environmental factors may influence strandings. Heavy metal analysis found high concentrations in tissues of deceased turtles, though water samples did not show toxic levels, warranting further investigation into metal exposure sources.
