">Follow the herring: Why sea lions have been calling Shilshole Marina home
For the past three springs, Shilshole Bay Marina has been contending with droves of California visitors occupying their guest boater moorages––California sea lions that is. To Shelby Almond, Port of Seattle Harbor Operations Supervisor, it seemed like the furry visitors arrived almost overnight. By mid-May nearly 120 animals had hauled themselves onto five “finger” docks […]
">July 8 roundtable will dig into assessing effects of multiple climate change stressors on marine invertebrates and developing mitigation techniques to minimize impacts
Co-hosted with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Climate change is leading to increasingly warmer oceans that are also more acidic, less oxygenated, and with lower salinity (among other changes). The resultant impacts on marine organisms will depend on the rate, level, and variability of change of individual stressors and how effectively the animals can deal […]
">June 3 roundtable will explore innovation in ecotoxicology: integrating next-generation chemical and biological tools
Co-hosted with the University of Saskatchewan The Salish Sea Science Roundtable online speaker series continues on Tuesday, June 3 from 12:30 – 1:30 pm. Dr. Markus Brinkmann will explore advanced methods in ecotoxicology, specifically high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and integrated chemical and biological analyses. He will demonstrate how HRMS technology helps scientists characterize the diversity of […]
