SUMMARY:Monster Seminar Jam with Dr. Katie Arkema
DESCRIPTION:The NWFSC Monster Seminar JAM is a weekly seminar with presentations by Center scientists and guest speakers\, and touches on variety of research fields\, including landscape ecology\, community ecology\, genetics\, wildlife biology\, systematics\, marine ecology\, conservation biology\, population biology and numerical modeling. Demonstrated applications included recovery planning\, design of marine protected areas\, fisheries management\, marine mammal conservation\, stock assessment\, anthropogenic impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems\, policy and decision making\, and sociopolitical and socioeconomic impacts of management actions. \nThis week’s speaker is Dr. Katie Arkema of the Natural Capital Project. \nIn her talk titled “Valuing Nature for Coastal Risk Reduction: It’s Not All About the $$$\,” Dr. Arkema will discuss coastal hazard risk reduction while considering social\, economic\, and ecological approaches that are policy-relevant to affected communities and jurisdictions. \nFor more on the speaker… \nABSTRACT \nGlobally\, extreme weather\, sea-level rise\, and degraded ecosystems are placing people and infrastructure at greater risk of damages from coastal hazards.  Flooding and erosion may be reduced by intact reefs and vegetation when these habitats fringe vulnerable communities. Yet the magnitude and nature of these effects are highly context dependent\, making it difficult to know under what conditions ecosystems are likely to be effective for saving lives and protecting property. I am addressing this challenge by developing approaches that link social\, ecological\, and physical processes to value ecosystems for coastal risk reduction in both monetary and social vulnerability metrics. My talk will share examples in which my research has informed coastal management and sustainable development in the US and Caribbean. I will end with some ideas about future work that aims to explore issues of equity in risk reduction and climate adaptation. \nBIO \nAs lead scientist at the Natural Capital Project\, Katie spearheads several efforts around the world to develop and use science about how nature benefits people to inform problems humans face in managing coastal and marine ecosystems. Katie is particularly interested in the ability of coastal ecosystems to protect vulnerable communities from sea level rise and storms\, while providing other services such as nursery habitat for fish and opportunities for tourism and recreation. Her research is informing national development planning\, climate adaptation\, and investments in restoration and conservation in the United States\, Latin America\, the Caribbean and Africa. Katie received her Ph.D. in Ecology\, Evolution and Marine Biology at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and her B.A. in ecology with a minor in Latin American studies from Princeton University. She is a recent recipient of a Fulbright NEXUS scholarship. \nRELEVANT PUBLICATIONS \nArkema\, K.\, R. Griffin\, S. Maldonado\, J. Silver\, J. Suckale\, A. Guerry. 2017.

SUMMARY:Bevan Series 2018: William Cheung
DESCRIPTION:The Bevan Series is a popular annual event held one quarter each year\, usually in the format of weekly seminars for 10 weeks\, and on occasion as a two-day symposium. The series features internationally recognized experts seeking to examine current issues affecting fisheries and marine conservation\, representing as many viewpoints as possible\, focusing on solutions to pressing problems. All lectures are free and open to the public. \nThe Bevan Series is generously funded by the Donald E. Bevan Endowed Fund in Fisheries\, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center\, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center\, and Washington Sea Grant. The Bevan Series was founded by Tanya Bevan as a tribute to her late husband\, Don Bevan. Don’s academic career spanned almost 50 years at the University of Washington\, during which time he was director of the School of Fisheries and dean of the College of Fisheries. His work focused on the key intersection between science\, economics and politics\, and he was deeply involved in the enactment and reauthorization of the Magnuson Act\, which governs America’s marine fisheries. He worked tirelessly to ensure that fisheries managers\, industry and scientists spoke with a unified voice in changing federal regulations\, and also helped found what is now the UW School of Marine and Environmental Affairs. \nThe Bevan Series seeks to continue Don Bevan’s legacy. \nThe 2018 Bevan Series will be held at the University of Washington in the Fishery Sciences Auditorium (FSH 102) every Thursday afternoon at 4:30 during the Winter academic quarter. The address is 1122 NE Boat Street\, Seattle\, WA 98105 (map). \nWilliam Cheung \nThe University of British Columbia\, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries \nClimate Change\, Seafood Production and the Future of Fisheries \nGlobal seafood production from fisheries and mariculture contributes substantially to food security\, health\, economic benefits and livelihood opportunities of our society. Climate change is challenging the sustainability of seafood production through changes in the coupled human and natural marine systems such as ocean primary productivity\, trophic dynamics\, the economics of fishing\, market access and dynamics\, as well as local and global ocean governance. Moreover\, non-climatic human drivers such as over-exploitation\, climate change\, pollution and habitat destruction are affecting the sensitivity of seafood production systems to climate change. There is a need to develop approaches that integrate these factors and drivers to project future seafood production under climate change. Here\, I will explore approaches that integrate human and natural dimensions of marine systems to understand climate change impacts on future seafood production and their implications for sustainable development. These approaches range from expert-based assessment to quantitative models that integrate across biophysical and social-economic components. Furthermore\, I will discuss the utilities of these approaches in examining the effectiveness of ocean-based solution options in mitigating and adapting climate change impacts on marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. \nWilliam Cheung is an Associate Professor and the Director of Science of the Nippon Foundation-UBC Nereus Program at the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries\, UBC. His research addresses the key challenges in understanding and predicting the responses of marine ecosystems and fisheries to global changes\, as well as identifying and evaluating solution options to ensure the sustainability of marine and coastal ecosystems and communities. \n
