NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Development of Indicators of Climate Change Vulnerability for Northeast Fishing Communities Presenter(s): Tarisla Seara, Changhua Weng, NOAA/NMFS NEFSC Sponsor(s): U.S. Climate-Fisheries Seminar Series; coordinator is Vincent.Saba@noaa.gov Location: Webinar Abstract: Climate change affects marine ecosystems in both expected and unpredictable ways. Current and projected primary effects of climate change impacting marine ecosystems and coastal communities include sea level rise, hurricane storm surge, ocean temperature changes, and ocean acidification. In this talk, we will present and discuss recent efforts by NOAA Fisheries social scientists to develop indicators to understand and analyze climate change vulnerability at the fishing community level. Specifically, we will present the methodology used to develop the Community Climate Change Vulnerability Indicators based on species Climate Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) scores and contribution of species to landings value, as well as the Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Risk Indices. Applications of these indicators will also be discussed in the context of fisheries management in the Northeast Region. The ability to operationalize climate change vulnerability at the community level and understand community impacts will aid the development of strategies that address impacts affecting both the sustainability of resources and human communities' resilience and well-being.Bio(s): Tarsila Seara is a Supervisory Social Scientist with the Northeast Fisheries Science Center Social Sciences Branch with a joint appointment in the Offshore Wind Energy Branch. Her research is focused on the application of quantitative and qualitative methods of social science research, as well as interdisciplinary efforts to inform fisheries policy and management decisions, particularly in the context of ecosystem-based approaches and adaptation of fishing communities to environmental and climate change. She is currently stationed at the Narragansett Lab in Rhode Island. Changhua Weng is a social scientist supporting NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology and Northeast Fisheries Science Center Social Sciences Branch. She works on developing social indicators of fishing community vulnerability and resilience to changing fishery management and climate conditions such as sea level rise and storm surge.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Study Information Is Easily Available Through the BOEM Environmental Studies Program Hub Presenter(s): Jonathan Blythe, Ph.D.; Sterling, VA; Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management; Scientific Data Manager for the BOEM Environmental Studies Program Sponsor(s): IOCM Seminar Series Seminar Contact(s): Amber Butler amber.butler@noaa.gov Remote Access: Register for webinar through GoToWebinar at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5174018484296351836 Accessibility: A recording of the webinar will be made available. Abstract: Last year, BOEM's Environmental Studies Program (ESP) released the ESP Hub to better disseminate geographically and thematically diverse study information that constitutes BOEM ESP's contribution to ocean science. The ESP Hub draws upon the ArcGIS Online data catalog to enable thematic content navigation. At first, users are presented with four easy to recognize research topics: biological; chemical; physical; and social sciences. Then, users navigate to a display offering a variety of content cards highlighting research themes. Once navigation proceeds to a research theme, the user is presented with an ArcGIS Online web map that summarizes ESP's study information. Study information usually pertains to one of BOEM's administrative regions of the US Outer Continental Shelf, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska planning areas. The research theme may be regionally focused or it may compare regional investments that contribute to a portfolio of national significance. Users can interact with the web map and lists to access final reports and peer reviewed journal articles. The ESP Hub removes barriers, because end users do not have to know anything about the BOEM organization, nor the research topics, in order to find the specific study information that addresses their concerns or interests. Bio(s): Jonathan Blythe received a Bachelor of Science in aquatic biology from the University of California at Santa Barbara, and Ph.D. in biological oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/ Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Applied Ocean Science and Engineering. Jonathan joined the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's Office of Environmental Programs in 2012 as the Environmental Studies Program Data Manager, and his primary responsibility is to manage web platforms that disseminate ocean science research data and information, such as the ESP Hub, which is the focus of this seminar. Jonathan is interested in learning about community standards for science dissemination and improving the effectiveness and reach of science communications. Jonathan likes to spend his free time on restoration projects that are sentimental or of historically interest.Recording: A recording of this webinar will be shared with all registrants.

Abstract: The USGS carries out a broad range of transdisciplinary science to help observe, measure, model, anticipate, and communicate about the cascading impacts of many different processes in the earth-human system. This science informs decision making and supports national security by helping anticipate, plan for, adapt to, mitigate, and recover from adverse earth system changes and their cascading impacts. Examples include: natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and flooding; coastal hazards from extreme storms; wildland fire hazards; hazards caused by glacial retreat, sea ice loss, and permafrost melting; water availability (quality, quantity, use); effects of droughts on water availability, ecosystems, and food security; climate refugia for ecologically important flora and fauna; spread and impacts of invasive species; assessing greenhouse gas emissions and potential for geological, biological, and blue carbon sequestration; environmental health hazards from environmental contaminants and zoonotic and vector-, water-, soil-, and dust-borne disease agents; ecological, environmental, and human health implications of natural- and human-caused disasters; and ensuring mineral, water, and biological resources for a sustainable future. Integration of social sciences, utilization of indigenous and tribal knowledge, and science co-design, co-production, and capacity sharing with affected populations are a crucial part of this work.

Access code: 2760 456 5021 Accessibility: Accessibility information: closed captioning Abstract: This talk will go over two critical issues facing groundfish surveys in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska systems, respectively: shifting fish distributions and untrawlable habitats. The dynamic nature of groundfish distributions, driven by ocean warming, poses hurdles for surveys. As species migrate and habitats shift, effective management requires a comprehensive understanding of groundfish distributions. I will discuss how international collaborations play a pivotal role in this endeavor, facilitating the integration of disparate datasets and tracking groundfish beyond traditional survey boundaries. Model-based biomass estimates for Bering Sea groundfishes (walleye pollock, Pacific cod, and Alaska plaice) enable combining data sets to inform fisheries-independent survey footprint coverage to help with conservation and management strategies in the face of environmental change. Moreover, across the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands, significant portions of survey areas are inaccessible to fisheries-independent bottom trawl gear to survey due to rocky bottoms, high relief, and steep seafloors. Overlooking these untrawlable habitats in current abundance estimations risks biasing assessments, as assumptions of uniform fish density with trawlable areas fall short. To address this, we explore innovative methods such as lowered stereo-camera systems to integrate UT habitat data, enhancing the accuracy of abundance models, particularly for groundfish species dependent on rocky habitats.

The unique multi-decadal record of green-up dates in Fairbanks has been used to develop a technique for forecasting green-up and related events in the Interior and more broadly in the boreal forest regions in Alaska. This webinar will be the fifth annual review of the green-up forecasting tools and will provide a look-ahead for green-up for Spring 2024. One Tree will demonstrate citizen science-outreach tools for birch tappers and others. Bio(s): Jan Dawe is a Research Assistant Professor of Natural Resource Education and Community Engagement with the Alaska Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. She is currently the director of OneTree Alaska and K-20 STEAM Education, which has a mission to engage learners of all ages in boreal forest education, citizen science, and forest product development. Jan enjoys sharing her interests in botany and phenology (the study of the timing of recurring events in an organism's annual life cycle) and appreciates working with Rick Thoman and others to discover how the Green-Up Forecast might be used to predict other spring phenomena-such as the initiation of birch sap flow, onset of birch pollen season, and more! Rick Thoman is the Climate Specialist at the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy. He has many years of experience producing reliable Alaska climate change information describing Alaska's changing environment.

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: Having consistent, quality, and adaptable survey information to track population change is becoming increasingly important in the face of climate change, which has been shown to induce range shifts for multiple species. Surveys can be costly to run and due to a myriad of reasons, including budget constraints, could be modified in the future. Therefore, the goal of this project is to evaluate the scientific and economic benefits of different survey strategies through a management strategy evaluation (MSE) for fisheries management in Alaska. In this talk, we will discuss important assumptions within the MSE and present preliminary results.Keywords: spatial operating model, management strategy evaluation, fishery-independent survey Bio(s): Lee Cronin-Fine joined the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in June 2023. Previously, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington and the AFSC.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: A Sustainable Crowdsourced Bathymetry Data Product from Forward Looking Sonar Data that Contributes to Seabed 2030 and Incentivizes User Participation Presenter(s): Heath Henley, Engineering, Sr. Application Engineer, FarSounder Inc. Sponsor(s): NOAA IOCM Seminar Series Seminar Contacts: Amber Butler amber.butler@noaa.gov , iwgocm.staff@noaa.govVIRTUAL: Register through GoTo Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3257249759396975701 Abstract: About 48% of US waters are not mapped adequately according to a recent report from the Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping, and the situation is worse in other parts of the world (IHO C-55). In order to fill the gaps and contribute to global mapping initiatives like Seabed 2030, traditional survey methods need to be supplemented by other means, including by collecting bathymetric measurements from vessels of opportunity operating in areas where data is scarce or out of date. For this data to find its way off the boat and into public data stores, two things must happen: (1) the vessel operators or owners need to be motivated to participate, and (2) manufacturers and software providers must have some viable business case for collecting and submitting the data. FarSounder is solving this problem by collecting bathymetric data from users of their 3D forward looking sonar and creating a value added aggregated data product. Users who contribute benefit by gaining access to the shared data layer, while at the same time contributing bathymetric data to public datastores. With enough data collected, the aggregated data product will generate revenue through sales to non-contributors to make the product self-sustaining. Bio(s): Heath has worked at FarSounder Inc. for almost 8 years, his current title is Sr Application Engineer. He works primarily on software development, research and development, technical support, and customer training.

Abstract: Southern California is currently experiencing rapid changes in climate patterns and more extreme weather events with important implications for the agricultural industry. Current trends and climate models indicate that temperatures in this region will continue to rise in the next century, along with more intense and frequent drought events. The impacts of these changes on crop physiology and production remain ambiguous, which makes this region highly vulnerable to climate change. Moreover, very little is known about how growers are responding to these climate challenges and whether they have the necessary resources and support to adapt accordingly. This project was developed to better understand and predict climate impacts to vineyard production systems in the San Diego region. The first objective of this project was to better understand the physiological response of grapevines to micro-climate and soil water availability and how this varies across different grapevine varieties of the same species ( Vitis vinifera L.). This project was conducted at an experimental vineyard located in the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve in Fallbrook, CA. The second objective of this research was to use a social science approach to better understand the impacts and challenges of climate change on the winegrowing community in the San Diego region. These findings help to draw awareness of potential impacts on the grape/wine sector, which may incentivize informed policy and practices. The results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Alexander Tardy of the National Weather Service. The NERTO aligns with the NOAA CESSRST-II program's goals of supporting and strengthening societal decision-making in response to weather and climate extremes. This project has also deepened the intern's understanding of NOAA weather monitoring by integrating weather data, crop transpiration predictions, and grower risk perception to address information needs and adaptive capacity building of the agricultural sector. Bio(s): Alessandra Zuniga is a NOAA Cooperative Science Center for Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies (CESSRST-II) Graduate Fellow and doctoral student in Ecology at San Diego State University. Alessandra's current research focuses on investigating the impacts of climate change on transpiration and water use efficiency of grapevine crop, as well as to better understand how growers are perceiving and responding to climate and weather impacts with management practices. This information should help to identify areas where growers are lacking support, develop strategies to lower barriers towards adaptation, and improve data and tool accessibility to build climate resilience of communities surrounding wine grape production in southern California. Alessandra is supported as a Cohort 1 Graduate Fellow in the NOAA Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies (CESSRST-II) award.For more information access the webpage for the Cooperative Science Centers, https://www.noaa.gov/office-education/epp-msi/csc/20212022-awards and NERTO, www.noaa.gov/eppnerto/.

In this study, we examined the impacts of sediment and nutrient pollution across many aspects of a coral reef, from water chemistry to benthic and plankton communities. The talk will explore three main topics: (1) Examining the impacts of sediments, chlorophyll, and nutrients on coral communities, (2) Determining if LBSP causes coastal acidification in Aua reefs and determine what that might mean for the reef community, and (3) Identifying bioindicators for LBSP from plankton groups including benthic foraminifera, microalgae (e.g. diatoms), and macroinvertebrates (e.g. crab larvae). Bio(s): Joy Smith is a Coral Reef Ecosystems Oceanographer at the Cooperative Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Research (CIMAR), which is the joint institute between NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Joy received her M.S. in marine science from Stony Brook University, and a Ph.D. through a joint program between Bremen University (Germany) and Plymouth University (UK). She then completed a post doc at the Australian institute of Marine Science where her work focused on the impacts of coastal acidification and poor water quality on coral reef ecosystems in the Great Barrier Reef. She now is a part of the Ocean Climate Change team in the Ecosystems Science Division at PIFSC where her work focuses on the impacts of land-based sources of pollution, increasing temperatures, and ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Gene expression responses of stony corals to ocean acidification from shallow to mesophotic reefs Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar SeriesPresenter(s): Federica Scucchia, Postdoctoral Associate, Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.govRemote Access: Register HereAbstract: The integrity of coral reefs worldwide is jeopardized by the lowering seawater pH, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Most studies conducted so far have focused on the vulnerability to OA of corals inhabiting shallow reefs while less is known about the response of mesophotic scleractinian corals. In this study, we assessed the susceptibility to OA of corals, together with their algal symbionts, inhabiting a wide depth range. We exposed fragments of the depth generalist coral Stylophora pistillata collected from either 5 or 45 m in Eilat (Red Sea) to simulated future OA conditions, and assessed key molecular, physiological and photosynthetic processes influenced by the lowered pH. Our comparative analysis reveals that mesophotic and shallow S. pistillata corals are genetically distinct and possess different symbiont types. Overall, our gene expression and physiological analyses show that mesophotic corals possess a greater capacity to cope with the effects of OA compared to their shallow counterparts. Such capability stems from physiological characteristics (i.e., biomass and lipids energetics), a greater capacity to regulate cellular acid" base parameters, and a higher baseline expression of cell adhesion and extracellular matrix genes. Moreover, our gene expression analysis suggests that the enhanced symbiont photochemical efficiency under high pCO2 levels could prevent acidosis of the host cells and it could support a greater translocation of photosynthates, increasing the energy pool available to the host. With this work, we provide new insights on key genetic and physiological traits underlying the potential for corals to cope with future OA conditions. Bio(s): Federica Succhia received her B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Bologna, Italy, She then pursued her Master's under a joint program between the University of Bologna and the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), where she focused on coral biology and gene expression. While at UCSB, she obtained the AAUS Scientific Diving certification, which allowed her to dive for her research on corals during her PhD at the Inter-University Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat, Israel. There, she focused on the influence of environmental factors on the physiology, morphology and gene expression of stony corals across life stages and depths. Federica joined the Martindale Lab at the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida, last year as a postdoctoral associate. Her research is focused on utilizing the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis as a universal expression platform to investigate various aspects of biomineralization for environmental restoration purposes (for example, coral reef conservation), using a variety of techniques including transgenesis and protein engineering.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: MBARI's Coastal Profiling Float: Progress, Science Opportunities and Tech Transfer Presenter(s): Gene Massion (MBARI) Sponsor(s): NOAA PMELSeminar Contact(s): Patricia Quinn ( patricia.k.quinn@noaa.gov) Remote Access: Register at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5117225410557752413Attendees are muted during the webinar and audio is over the computer, so adjust the volume on your computer speakers or headset. Abstract: MBARI has developed a profiling float targeting research questions in the coastal zones and upper 350 meters of the world's oceans, the coastal profiling float (CPF). The core CPF includes sensors for CTD, Oxygen, pH, Nitrate, fluorescence, backscatter and a 4 channel optical radiometer. We can support additional sensors and have done science missions with turbulence microstructure sensors, sediment traps, acoustic modems and others. Enhancements for coastal operations include a 3.5 liter buoyancy engine, accurate closed loop control of platform velocity and depth and the ability to anchor (and de-anchor) on the ocean bottom. This talk will describe the current state of the CPF and the science products we're generating. We are wrapping up the current phase of development at MBARI and are actively looking for opportunities to make the CPF technology available to the greater community. This includes collaborations with other research groups, open source possibilities and commercial partners. We're particularly interested in applications for the CPF outside of our primary research interests including fishery management, marine CO2 removal MRV, oxygen dead zone monitoring, wind energy environmental impact monitoring, acoustic monitoring, etc. Bio(s): Gene Massion is an Ocean Engineer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
