The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Ocean Warming Effects on Purple Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) Herbivory Rate across Microscopic Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) Life History Stages [PDF]
Purpose: Recently, a warming event, a sea star wasting disease outbreak in 2013 that caused sunflower stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) to become locally extinct, and the historic local extinction of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) led to runaway herbivory by

Art and algae: an ocean intimacy. A story in four parts
I am a photographer, author and designer of many books, with my last few focusing on the world of seaweed and kelp. My most recent book, The Curious World of Seaweed, is the basis for a travelling exhibition of prints by the same name.

Abstract Sedimentary archives of tropical cyclones have been primarily developed in back barrier settings and karst basins at low to mid‐latitude sites in the Atlantic. Here, a unique record of high‐latitude storms is presented from Skan Bay, Unalaska in the Eastern Aleutian Islands. Storm‐induced coarse deposits in a 20.5 m composite sediment core are

Centennial persistence of kelp forests on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada
Canopy-forming kelps, bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) and giant kelp (Macrocystis tenuifolia), form dynamic underwater forests that underpin coastal biodiversity, fisheries, and human well-being.

Bull kelp bed surveys in Island County, Washington USA [PDF]
Although bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is a prevalent nearshore habitat throughout the Salish Sea, its distribution and seasonal bed area dynamics are poorly characterized.

A survey of phytomyxid parasites in seagrasses of the genus Halophila reveals previously unrecognised diversity and a widespread presence of Marinomyxa within Halophila meadows, supporting a tight co‐evolutionary relationship between the two genera. ABSTRACT Marinomyxa is a genus of obligate intracellular parasitic protists known to infect tropical ...

Assessing the viability of mapping bull kelp in Puget Sound using aerial imaging platforms [PDF]
Bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is an important primary producer that plays a foundational role in the marine nearshore ecosystems of Puget Sound. Evidence of significant declines in bull kelp forests in this region has motivated efforts to establish ...

Water on the rise: Bull Kelp Gametophyte survival in rising temperatures
As anthropogenic climate change progresses, increasing seawater temperatures play a large role in shaping changes in the range of benthic species. Predominate cold temperate kelp species are such an impacted organism; they grow at temperature below 18°C ...

Abstract Schools are a common place where the younger generation can develop their understanding of the ocean and acquire the skills needed to become responsible and knowledgeable ocean advocates. Grounded in a relational ocean literacy model, this study examined outcomes of a place‐based programme integrating picture books, beach excursions and ...
