Marine Ecosystem Models (MEMs) provide a deeper understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics. The United Nations Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development has highlighted the need to deploy these complex mechanistic spatial-temporal models engage policy makers and society into dialogues towards sustainably managed oceans. From our shared perspective, MEMs remain underutilized because they still lack formal validation, calibration, uncertainty quantifications that undermines their...
Abstract Water resources and transportation infrastructure such as dams culverts provide countless socio‐economic benefits; however, this can also disconnect the movement of organisms, sediment, water through river ecosystems. Trade‐offs associated with these competing costs benefits occur globally, applications in barrier addition (e.g. dam road construction), reengineering culvert repair), removal aging infrastructure). Barrier prioritization provides a unique opportunity to: (i) restore...
Abstract. Decadal-scale oceanographic, environmental, and ecological changes have been reported in the Salish Sea, an ecologically productive inland sea northeast Pacific that supports economies cultures of millions people. However, there are substantial data gaps related to physical water properties make it difficult evaluate trends pathways effects between ocean productivity marine ecosystems. With aim addressing these gaps, we present Hindcast Sea (HOTSSea) v1, a 3D oceanographic model...
The salmon-eating Southern Resident killer whale (SRKW) ( Orcinus orca ) population currently comprises only 73 individuals, and is listed as ‘endangered’ under the Species at Risk Act in Canada. Recent evidence suggests that growth of this may be limited by food resources, especially Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ). We present spatio-temporal bioenergetics model for SRKW Salish Sea West Coast Vancouver Island from 1979–2020 with objective evaluating how changes abundance,...
FIPEX v10.4 is designed to decrease the time required assess individual and cumulative effects of river barriers fish passage connectivity from headwaters outflow (i.e., longitudinal connectivity) Loss due anthropogenic a global problem contributing unprecedented biodiversity loss in freshwater biomes. Yet, assessing perspective prioritizing ecological restoration challenging without specialized tools. The Fish Passage Extension (FIPEX) bridge network analysis Geographic Information System...
Abstract. Decadal-scale oceanographic, environmental, and ecological changes have been reported in the Salish Sea, an ecologically productive biodiverse inland sea northeast Pacific that supports economies cultures of millions people; however, there are substantial observational gaps pertaining to physical water properties make linkages between drivers ecosystem effects difficult ascertain. With aim addressing these gaps, we present Hindcast Sea (HOTSSea) v1 with temporal coverage from...
Extensive fragmentation of river systems is a global problem contributing to unprecedented biodiversity loss in freshwater biomes, but connectivity analysis and restoration prioritization are challenging without specialized tools. The Fish Passage Extension with Dendritic Connectivity Index (FIPEX+DCI) v10.4 designed bridge network Geographic Information System (GIS) support assessments. It developed as an open source 'Add-in' for ArcGIS Desktop (10.4+) links ArcMap R (3.6). FIPEX+DCI 10.4...
