Ecology of the Zenobia Shipwreck and Marine Research
The document summarizes research on the ecology of the Zenobia shipwreck site off Cyprus and its use for marine research. Studies have found very high biodiversity at the site, including corals, sponges, and fish. The wreck provides an artificial reef and nursery for many species. However, recreational diving is impacting the macroalgae coverage, with significant reductions found in areas with high diving traffic. Ongoing research also examines the effects of environmental factors like temperature changes and mucilage events on the local ecology.
Oregon Sea Grant: Looking Forward
This document discusses opportunities, integration, and barriers related to Oregon State University's open campus initiative. It identifies potential partnerships, funding sources, and staffing needs as opportunities. Integration examples show how research, extension, education, and communications could work together on climate change engagement. Barriers include challenges with time, incentives for partnerships, and demonstrating clear advantages.
Acidification Stress - Commercially Important Bivalves
This document summarizes a research project that aims to develop realistic metrics to measure acidification stress on commercially important bivalves in variable coastal habitats. The project will use a degree day model to account for different components of carbonate chemistry variability and its impact on Pacific oyster larvae in Oregon coastal waters. Experiments will be conducted with NOAA to vary conditions and measure stress and growth responses. The goals are to help oyster growers understand crop success under acidification and engage stakeholders through an outreach plan including a web interface to translate the science.
Hypoxia and Ocean Acidification project
Dr. Francis Chan's 2012-2014 Oregon Sea Grant-supported project, "Understanding, Forecasting and Communicating the Linkages Between Hypoxia and Ocean Acidification in Oregon's Coastal Ocean"
Geomagneting Imprinting and Homing in Salmon and Steelhead
Salmon use geomagnetic orientation to migrate from the ocean to their home rivers to spawn. This homing ability is important for salmon management and conservation in Oregon. Researchers are studying how salmon imprint and orient themselves at different life stages, from embryos to juveniles to adults. Their goal is to better understand salmon navigation and how hatchery practices may influence homing and straying behavior. Outreach efforts help educate the public on this research.
Successful Adaptation to Coastal Climate Change
This document describes a project to identify the characteristics of successful adaptation to coastal climate change. A team of researchers from Stanford University, University of Washington, and Oregon State University will conduct a literature review, workshops with scientists and practitioners, and stakeholder engagement. The project aims to develop clear categories of desirable and undesirable adaptation outcomes, principles for assessing adaptation options, and metrics to measure adaptation success over different timescales. The researchers expect the project to provide guidance to support coastal climate adaptation planning and implementation.
Two Fisheries projects

Modeling Disease in Pacific Salmon
This document summarizes a study modeling the effects of climate change on disease in Pacific salmon. The study will link several models: 1) a degree-day model of the parasite Ceratomyxa shasta's life cycle, 2) the USGS Basin Characterization Model of the Klamath River, 3) a hydraulic model of the invertebrate host's habitat, and 4) an epidemiological model. The linked models will predict how climate change may alter disease severity and distribution. Outcomes include identifying habitats for protection and a model to predict changes in C. shasta and other diseases. The study aims to inform management of healthy fisheries under climate change.
Budget allhands
Oregon Sea Grant's budget for FY2012 totaled $6,255,469. The majority (48%) of funding went towards research and program development. Personnel costs accounted for $3,542,390 and are expected to increase by around $100,000-114,100 each year due to faculty salary increases. With a $300,000 balance rolling into July 2012 and anticipated future salary increases covered by grants and contracts, Oregon Sea Grant expects to have $160,000 available for discretionary use going forward.

Modern Life: Attention, Communication and You
This document discusses modern challenges with attention and communication in an information-rich world. It provides an overview of science communication challenges and strategies for engaging stakeholders and influencing behavior, including using social media and surveys to understand audiences and tailor messaging. Non-persuasive and trust-building approaches are recommended over direct persuasion.
Social Media as Tools for Public Engagement
This document discusses how social media can be used as a new tool for engaging stakeholders in extension work. It recommends that extension professionals meet people on their own social media grounds to effectively engage the public. It provides tips on determining goals and audiences, sharing existing content across different social media platforms, encouraging sharing, using analytics to measure engagement, and welcoming social media as part of the evolving extension model.
Allocation Committee Report
The committee was formed to revisit Sea Grant's allocation policy and criteria for distributing funding among programs as, when adjusted for inflation, the appropriated funding has been steadily declining and may reach zero by 2035. Surveys of Sea Grant programs found a range of views on allocation models but broad support for minimum funding levels and maintaining the current model while addressing inherent inequities. Concerns were also raised that the uncertain budget prospects and NOAA's lack of interest in Sea Grant may not be the right time to make major changes to the allocation approach.
NOAA Research: Telling the Sea Grant Story
The document discusses NOAA Research and its goals of increasing awareness of NOAA Research among key audiences, communicating about NOAA Research to the news media and constituents, and communicating about NOAA Research online 24/7. It provides contact information for Rochelle Plutchak and Linda Joy and encourages sharing milestones so NOAA Research can communicate them through traditional and web tools.
Using Social Media in Public Communication
This document discusses a study examining the use of social media, specifically Twitter and Facebook, by the CDC and WHO during the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic. The study analyzed over 200 social media posts and official website messages from April to July 2009. It found that the WHO's social media posts more closely reflected the situation updates on its official website, while the CDC's posts varied in focus across platforms. Both organizations avoided direct engagement with users on social media. The study concludes that social media can effectively disseminate timely pandemic information while avoiding misinformation, but direct interaction with users may not be advisable in emergency situations.
