Investigating Algicidal And Growth-Inhibiting Bacteria Associated With Seagrass And Macroalgae Beds In Puget Sound, Nobuharu Inaba
Investigating Algicidal And Growth-Inhibiting Bacteria Associated With Seagrass And Macroalgae Beds In Puget Sound, Nobuharu Inaba
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) caused by the fish-killing raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo and the neuro-toxic dinoflagellate of the genus Alexandrium, impact finfish and shellfish aquaculture in Puget Sound including Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), oysters (Crassostrea gigas; Ostrea lurida), mussels (Mytilus edulis), geoducks (Panopea generosa), etc. Previous studies in Japan have demonstrated that the density of algicidal bacteria (AB) and gowth-inhibiting bacteria (GIB) detected from biofilm on the seagrass Zostera marina was remarkably high. During the summer of 2012, using methods developed in Japan, we sampled the leaves of Z. marina and adjacent water from 14 sites in the Puget Sound. In …

State Of Possession Sound Interdisciplinary Student Research, Ardi Kveven, Robin Araniva
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
The Ocean Research College Academy, an interdisciplinary early college program at Everett Community College, created an ecosystem study in 2004 that imbeds core instructional outcomes with ongoing baseline estuary research. Through the blending of the original State of the Sound Report (2004) and Species of Concern (2005), multiple hydrographic and biological parameters are measured on monthly State of Possession Sound (SOPS) student research cruises. Students collect and analyze marine mammal and marine bird abundance and distribution, CTD data, nutrient concentrations, pH and fecal coliform levels, sediment samples for heavy metal analysis (As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn), and phytoplankton and …
Roofing Materials Assessment - Investigation Of Toxic Chemicals In Roof Runoff, Nancy Winters
Roofing Materials Assessment - Investigation Of Toxic Chemicals In Roof Runoff, Nancy Winters
Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
The Washington state Department of Ecology recently partnered with roofing manufacturers, their associations, municipal stormwater programs, and environmental stakeholders to design and conduct a study to assess toxic chemicals in the stormwater runoff from roofing materials. This interdisciplinary team, know as the Roofing Task Force (RTF), brought together experts in roofing materials and manufacturing processes, roof coatings, stormwater quality, and regulatory requirements. By working together the RTF and Ecology leveraged their collective knowledge to design a more robust study. The study was designed to understand whether the premise that roofing runoff is a contributor to degrading water quality in the …
Pedagogy For Restoration: Addressing Social And Ecological Degradation Through Education, David Krzesni
Pedagogy For Restoration: Addressing Social And Ecological Degradation Through Education, David Krzesni
WWU Graduate School Collection
This work seeks to understand the conditions leading the degradation of Earth in order to discover pedagogy for restoration. The degradation of natural environments and of social conditions is identified as a significantly anthropogenic process. This suggests that degradation of Earth is a moral issue and thus human morality and its development are explored in depth. Individual moral development is found to be deeply related to socialization and provides insight into how and why we fail to live to our potential as a naturally moral species. However, through education we can achieve a greater potential. This process cannot be scripted, …
