NWBIO 2012 Workshop - Rocky intertidal field trip to Rosario Beach and Shannon Point Marine Center The field trip will depart Everett CC at noon and transit to Rosario Beach/Shannon Point Marine Center. We will return in time for evening NWBIO registration and events. For more information visit the workshop event page. NWBIO 2011 Workshop - The ecology of colonial waterbirds and their impacts on the survival of juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River Basin Instructor: Dr. Daniel Roby, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University Hosted by Yakima Valley Community College, Yakima Washington April 29, 2011, 1 - 5 pm The workshop will use information from Dr. Roby's research on the ecology of fish eating colonial waterbirds (primarily Caspian terns, double-crested cormorants, and several gull species) and their impacts on the survival of juvenile salmonids in the Columbia Basin. Further information on these studies is on the Bird Research Northwest site. The workshop will include activities suitable for inclusion in community college courses. For more information view the workshop event page and visit the NWBIO Meeting website. NWBIO 2010 Workshop - Mariculture in our Coastal Zones examined through Ecological Science Instructors: Dr. Jennifer Ruesink and Dr. Alan Trimble, University of Washington Hosted by Grays Harbor Community College, Ocean Shores, WA Ever growing demand for seafood has led to dramatic increases in mariculture of numerous species worldwide, often creating conflicts between stakeholders in coastal areas. Science can provide ecological data to assist management and potentially quantify ecosystem services for informed legislative tradeoffs in our quest for sustainability of these multi-use ecosystems. This workshop is designed to provide faculty with current information on both local and global mariculture growth, introduced (sometimes invasive) species, environmental impacts, husbandry practices, and known ecological interactions. Examples will include finfish (esp. salmon), shellfish (primarily oysters, hard clams and geoducks), and algae. The desired outcome of the workshop is for attendees to gain sufficient background information, student readings, and lecture presentation materials for a class session on the ecology of mariculture in a marine science/biology course. NWBIO 2009 Pacific Northwest Rocky Shore Biology Workshop and Field Trip Instructors: Dr. Cynthia Trowbridge, Dr. Jan Hodder, and Dr. Maya Wolf, University of Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, Hosted by Clatsop Community College, Astoria, OR The Pacific Northwest Rocky Shore Biology Workshop and Field Trip led by Dr. Cynthia Trowbridge, Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, provided participants with overview of marine life found along the rocky shores of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest and an activity that could be used for a marine biology course field trip. After a brief classroom introduction, we spent the majority of the day in the rocky intertidal at Oswald West State Park. Workshop participants investigated zonation patterns at on a sand-influenced rocky shore. The workshop included activities |
