Kordesch*, Max Delaney, and Maria Brown, NOAA Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, San Francisco, CA (*Affiliate) Sponsor(s): NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) Science Seminar Series Seminar Contacts: Moe Nelson, david.moe.nelson@noaa.govLocation: Webinar Remote Access: Register at https://noaabroadcast.adobeconnect.com/ewoq6ki24utx/event/registration.htmlAccessibility: TBD Abstract: Nature-based solutions like dunes and beaches improve coastal resilience by countering the effects of sea level rise, erosion, and flooding. The proper use of sediment to build up these natural features is therefore critical and requires project managers to navigate a multi-agency regulatory framework for sediment application. The new Efficient Permitting Roadmap (Roadmap) for Coastal Sediment Management is a first-of-its-kind guide to facilitate multi-agency permit review of nature-based projects involving coastal sediment management along the North-central California coast. The Roadmap contains a clearinghouse of information from federal, state and local agencies in a user-friendly format. This information has statewide and national relevance by providing permit and environmental review information for applicable state and federal agencies. The Roadmap is a collaborative success of the North-central California Coastal Sediment Coordination Committee, a model collaboration of 17 local, state, and federal agencies working together to improve coastal resilience with the best available science, and funded by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, NOAA Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, and California State Lands Commission. Bio(s): Wendy Kordesch, PhD, is the Geological Oceanographer for Greater Farallones Association and NOAA affiliate to Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries. Her work aims to improve coastal ecosystem resilience by promoting the use of nature based solutions to coastal issues through collaboration and research-informed management. Wendy is the scientific lead on the North-Central California Coastal Sediment Coordination Committee and the lead author of the Efficient Permitting Roadmap. She holds a PhD from the National Oceanography Centre in the United Kingdom and an MS and BS from University of California Santa Cruz. As an avid ocean water swimmer and ocean enthusiast, Wendy is driven to build collaborative efforts to promote the use and stewardship of coastal resources.Max Delaney is a Policy Analyst with NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. He served as the Permit Coordinator for the Greater Farallones and northern Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries from 2012-2022 and currently serves as the federal NOAA representative on the North-central California Coastal Sediment Coordination Committee, supporting sanctuary-led efforts to improve regional sediment management. Prior to working at NOAA, Max was a Permit Analyst at the Bay Conservation Development Commission working on a range of projects from shoreline development to coastal restoration to dredged material management. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Max completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and has resided in the Bay Area since 2004.

Title: Including ageing error and growth variability when estimating input sample sizes for fishery stock assessments (National Stock Assessment Science Seminar Series) Presenter(s): Dr. Ben Williams, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Auke Bay Laboratories Sponsor(s): NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and NOAA's Central Library (NCL) Seminar Contact(s): Dr. Bai Li ( bai.li@noaa.gov) and Library SeminarsRemote Access: https://vimeo.com/event/4329514/c70eba8e4d/registerAccessibility: You are able to get live closed captions during the presentation by selecting the CC button in your Vimeo player. Captions are added to the recordings of presentations once uploaded to the NOAA Central Library YouTube Channel. Sign language interpreting services and Federal Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) service are available, but need to be requested at least 5 days before the event. Abstract: Statistical catch-at-age assessment models in fisheries management integrate various data sources in a joint likelihood framework, where input sample size (ISS) is a necessary quantity when fitting compositional data with the multinomial likelihood. Neither design-based nor model-based methods for estimating ISS methods take into account uncertainty from aging error and growth variability. This study evaluates incorporating these uncertainties into ISS determination via bootstrap methods, finding ISS decreases by up to 60% when considering both sources. This underscores the need to account for these uncertainties in ISS estimation for more accurate stock assessment models.Keywords: Input sample size, stock assessment, uncertainty Bio(s): Ben Williams is a Research Fisheries Biologist in the Marine Ecology and Stock Assessment Program at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Juneau, AK. His work broadly focuses on stock assessments, assessment workflows, and management strategy evaluation.

Title: Rebuilding the coral tree of life to inform the sustainability of coral habitats
Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar Series
Presenter(s): Andrea Quattrini, Research Zoologist and Curator of Corals, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics
Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.gov
Remote Access: Register Here
Abstract: Anthozoans (corals, sea anemones) are arguably among the most important animals on Earth Yet, accurate diversity estimates are lacking and we do not fully understand their evolutionary history. A thorough understanding of these processes across multiple scales of space-time will greatly inform their future sustainability. Here, I will discuss how genomics is helping us to better document extant diversity of anthozoans and reveal their diversification across deep time. I will also discuss how we are collectively working towards improving reference databases for environmental (e)DNA and how these efforts are directly informing conservation and restoration of coral habitats, with a particular focus in the Gulf of Mexico.
Bio(s): Andrea Quattrini is a Research Zoologist and Curator of Corals in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. She studies the ecology and evolution of corals and associated fauna, and often focuses her questions on those that live in the most poorly studied environment on earth"the deep sea. Andrea strives to work on projects that directly connect with resource managers to help inform conservation of vulnerable marine ecosystems. Andrea has sailed on numerous research vessels throughout the North Atlantic Ocean using submersibles and ROVs and in 2020, was a Fulbright Scholar to Colombia. She is also passionate about education, outreach and mentorship, and strives to make science more equitable.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Ecosystem-Level Reference Points: Tool for Moving Toward Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBM/EBFM Seminar Series) Remote Access: https://vimeo.com/event/4347845/4b491da5c0/registerPresenter(s): Dr. Wendy Morrison, Fishery Management Analyst, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, NMFS Sponsor(s): NMFS Ecosystem Based Management/Ecosystem Based Fishery Management Seminar Series (EBM/EBFM) and NOAA Central Library. POC: EBFM/EBM Environmental Science Coordinator, Peg Brady ( peg.brady@noaa.gov) Abstract: In recent decades, marine fisheries management in the United States and around the world has shifted focus from single-species to ecosystem sustainability. Ecosystem-level reference points (ELRPs) are one option for assessing and managing at the ecosystem-level. ELRPs can be used as a proactive accountability mechanism to achieve ecosystem objectives and maintain the ecosystem in a preferred operating space, or as an early warning that ecosystem-level changes (e.g., tipping points) could be imminent if current biological and ecological trends in the system continue. This talk explores the development and implementation of ELRPs in fisheries management. Keywords: Reference Points, Ecosystem, Fisheries Management Bio(s): Dr. Wendy Morrison has spent the last 14 years as a fishery management analyst for NMFS's Office of Sustainable Fisheries. She has degrees in fisheries management and ecology. Her job is to develop, review and update national policies, guidance, and regulations pertaining to fishery management; and track fishery management actions across the US. Her focus has been on climate change, ecosystem based fisheries management, fisheries allocations, and catch share fisheries.

Rapid recycling and tight predator-prey coupling compromise the utility of nutrient or phytoplankton stocks for delineating the biogeography of global ocean nutrient stress. Here, field-measured omics biomarkers of nutritional status are coupled to a satellite remote sensing metric of cell physiology to mechanistically evaluate monthly to multi-decadal shifts in global phytoplankton nutrient stress. We observe a clear biogeography in nutrient stress aligned with variations in nutrient flux rate and distinctly elevated stress in nitrogen- compared to phosphate-limited waters. Temporal modes of stress are dominated by seasonal changes, but strong signatures of natural climate cycles are also apparent. However, a nearly ubiquitous surface ocean warming over the last twenty years is linked to a globally-consistent increase in nutrient stress. Thus, our integrated genomic and satellite remote sensing of phytoplankton physiology has uncovered a clear contemporary regulation of global ocean nutrient stress.

Abstract: In response to the new NOAA Omics Strategy that was released in February of 2020 NOAA laboratories are now venturing into new omics-based analyses. Specifically, focus is shifting to eDNA analyses that will be essential to increasing sampling efficiency, ecosystem assessments, and decreasing environmental impacts. However, it can be overwhelming trying to determine where or how to start, especially if this is a new technique to the laboratory. Recently, the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory embarked on a pilot project to learn how to do all things related to eDNA. Through gel images and sequencing analyses this poster will discuss the approach taken, why certain decisions were made, and which choices ultimately led to the success of the pilot project.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Simple Ecosystem Forecasts: Structural Models for Habitat and Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (EBM/EBFM) NOAA Central Library SeminarsPresenter(s): James Thorson, Statistical Ecologist, NOAA/NMFS Alaska Fisheries Science Center Sponsor(s): NOAA/NMFS and NOAA Central Library Seminar Contacts: Peg Brady ( peg.brady@noaa.gov) and NOAA Central Library Seminars ( library.seminars@noaa.gov) Remote Access: TBD Accessibility: Captions are added to the recordings of presentations once uploaded to the NOAA Central Library YouTube Channel. Sign language interpreting services and closed captioning are available, but need to be requested at least 5 days before the event. Abstract: Ocean scientists must engage stakeholders while forecasting dynamics for many interacting variables. I introduce structural models for time-series and spatial analysis, using fast and user-friendly packages in R. Structural models allow stakeholders to inform and test causal mechanisms, while fitting scientific data and forecasting future dynamics. I discuss examples from integrated ecosystem assessments (the eastern Bering Ecosystem Status Report) and habitat analysis (sponge and coral associations for fishes in Alaska). Keywords: Integrated Ecosystem Assessment, species distribution models, stakeholder engagement, forecasting Bio(s): James Thorson is a statistical ecologist at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. He conducts research regarding global fisheries status, spatial modelling methods, and life-history theory. His book Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists was just published, and email him ( James.Thorson@noaa.gov) if interested in remotely attending the associated course at University of Washington during Spring Quarter. Recordings: Recordings will be shared 24 hours after the event on the NOAA Central Library YouTube channel.
