MARINE ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES ANALYSIS Sample Clauses

MARINE ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES ANALYSIS. This theme encompasses a broad range of community and ecosystem level studies, many of which are concerned with the interaction of biological composition and structure with physical, chemical or geological characteristics of the environment. Research on the species composition, trophic structure, and evolutionary history of a variety of marine ecosystems has long been a central strength of the WHOI. In more recent years, there has been greater emphasis on the processes of ecosystem function—fluxes of energy and materials, growth of individuals and populations, competitive and predatory interactions, succession of species and populations. Environments studied have ranged from coastal estuaries and salt marshes to offshore shelf and bank regions, to the oceanic water column, the abyssal sea floor and the hydrothermal vents of ocean ridges. One area of research under this theme would be fisheries and essential fish habitat. Coop- erative efforts in fisheries research have a long history at WHOI, including collaborative agree- ments with the Northeast Fisheries Sciences Center in support of research, facilities, and infra- structure (library, computer facilities), and many individual contacts and collaborations between scientists. Since the early 1990s, the GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic program on Georges Bank has provided a framework for unprecedented collaboration between WHOI physicists, biologists and engineers and fisheries scientists from NOAA/NMFS and other institutions. WHOI brings expertise in organismal biology, mathematical modeling, physical-biological interactions, xxx- xxxxx techniques, engineering, and economic/policy analysis to bear on current vexing problems in fishery research and management. This should be an especially fruitful area of research within CICOR because of the physical proximity and excellent intellectual connections with the North- east Fisheries Science Center in Xxxxx Hole, as well as increasing collaboration with NMFS labs in Gloucester, Milford and Xxxxx Hook. The National Habitat Program recently established in NMFS represents NOAA’s most con- certed effort to date to conserve, restore and create essential habitat for a variety of marine and freshwater species of ecological and economic importance. A program of this scope requires new basic research in many areas to understand the natural functioning of habitats, help deter- mine needed restoration, and evaluate results. WHOI scientists have conducted research on the physical...

MARINE ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES ANALYSIS. 1. Trace Element Markers for Dispersal of Larval Clams—Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx A new research project is underway to investigate the use of naturally occurring trace metals in shells of juvenile clams as markers of the specific location where the clams settled. A mechanism to trace the geographic origin of clams collected from the field would be a powerful tool for understanding dispersal of populations at the post-larval stage. This capability would enable resource managers to understand where important source regions are, how much exchange occurs among populations and how far individuals from polluted areas are transported.
