Baseline Surveys of Deep-Water Demersal Communities in and Near Central Coast MPAs
This project will use a manned submersible to visually survey benthic communities in habitats deeper than can be effectively surveyed by divers or remotely operated vehicles. -
Baseline Data Collection for Rocky Intertidal Marine Protected Areas in the Central Coast of California
The objective of the project is to survey rocky intertidal areas within and outside of MPAs. -
Surveys of Shallow-Water Rocky Reef Communities
The researcher will quantify key attributes of species populations, communities and environ mental variables associated with kelp forest ecosystems within and outside of the Central Coast MPAs. -
A career that shaped MPA design, from California to Belize

Consequences of El Niño on estuarine acidification impacts on native and commercial oysters
Estuarine ecosystems important to native and cultured oyster species are particularly sensitive to sea level rise, rising temperatures and ocean acidification. -
Krill and Krill Predators: Ecosystem-Based Management in the Gulf of the Farallones-Cordell Bank Krill Production Domain
Euphausiid crustaceans (krill) are a critical source of carbon in marine food webs, providing food for hake, Chinook and Coho salmon, rockfishes, seabirds and large whales. -
Hydrologic and geomorphic changes to southern California estuaries and lagoons during episodic events associated with the 2015-2016 El Niño: Insight to potential future response to sea level rise
Sea level rise and increased storm severity is expected to impact coastal lagoons and estuaries, but the magnitude and pattern of response at specific locations is uncertain. -
Evaluating potential cascading impacts of sea star wasting disease on top-down grazer regulation in kelp forests
Previous studies in California have documented significant correlations between predator densities, increased herbivore (i.e.
