From fishers to farmers, people across the planet who rely directly upon natural resources for their livelihoods and well-being face extensive impacts from climate change. However, local- regional-scale associated risks can vary geographically, implications development of adaptation pathways that will be most effective specific communities are underexplored. To improve this understanding at relevant local scales, we developed a coupled social-ecological approach assess risk posed fishing...
Fisheries management faces challenges due to political, spatial, and ecological complexities, which are further exacerbated by variation or shifts in species distributions. Effective depends on the ability integrate fisheries data across political geographic boundaries. However, such efforts may be hindered inconsistent formats, limited sharing, methodological differences sampling, regional governance differences. To address these issues, we introduce surveyjoin R package, combines provides...
Resource managers in the United States and worldwide are tasked with identifying mitigating trade-offs between human activities deep sea (e.g., fishing, energy development, mining) their impacts on habitat-forming invertebrates, including deep-sea corals sponges (DSCS). Related management decisions require information about where DSCS occur what densities. Species distribution modeling (SDM) provides a cost-effective means of potential habitat over large areas to inform these data...
Deep-sea corals are a critical component of habitat in the deep-sea, existing as regional hotspots for biodiversity, and associated with increased assemblages fish, including commercially important species. Because sampling these species is so difficult, little known about connectivity life history deep-sea octocoral populations. This study evaluates genetic among 23 individuals Swiftia simplex collected from Eastern Pacific waters along west coast United States. We utilized high-throughput...
The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and the Pacific Islands (PIFSC) are collaborating with researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to develop SeaBED autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) overcome challenges in surveying fish inaccessible habitats. Traditional survey techniques such as bottom trawls of limited applicability areas due rocky, rugose terrain. Fish marine protected must also be surveyed using non-lethal methods. Furthermore, monitoring deeper coral...
NOAA's Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program (DSCRTP) is compiling a national database of the locations deep-sea corals sponges, beginning in U.S. waters. The DSCRTP will make this information accessible to resource managers, scientific community, public over World Wide Web. fulfills requirements under Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation Management Act (MSA) identify map submit for use by regional fishery management councils. At present, there no comprehensive, national-scale data...
Understanding the timing and reproductive behavior of commercial fish species is a key part well-informed stock assessments fishery management, but this information often limited, particularly for that spawn in deep water. Petrale sole ( Eopsetta jordani ) one most commercially important flatfish US known to off West Coast during winter months. A number spawning grounds have been identified using catch data tagging studies, our knowledge there no direct visual observations aggregating...
Recent studies have highlighted the shortcomings of regional trawl surveys for quantifying abundance demersal fishes in rugged habitats. Many species show strong affinities to areas high topographic relief and rugosity, therefore precluding sampling by bottom gears. Consequently, advanced survey technologies such as submersibles camera sleds been utilized situ. One prerequisite extrapolating densities observed situ is mapping benthic habitats beyond observational extent submersibles. Habitat...
