NEW! Mentorship Program
Welcome to the start of the year with the BEE community! We have an exciting new program for our Ecological Engineering undergraduates starting this year thanks to input from our Alumni during exit interviews and BEE Department Head's, Dr. Adam Ward, excitement to invest in every students success while studying with us and beyond.
We would like to invite you all to participate in the Biological & Ecological Engineering Mentor Collective Program. When you sign up for this program, you will be matched with an alumni mentor. A mentor can provide additional support and guidance because they have been where you are now.
To get started, register and complete a short survey (this will take you only 3 minutes!) telling us about yourself, and we will match you with a mentor with similar interests and backgrounds and what's important to you.
Click here to register and complete your survey <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…>
Once you complete that survey, you can expect an email from the Mentor Collective team with more information - be sure to check it out, and do not hesitate to reach out to Jennifer Cohen in either the main office (Gilmore 116) or her email at Jennifer.cohen(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:Jennifer.cohen@oregonstate.edu> or reach out to the Mentor Collective directly at help(a)mentorcollective.org<mailto:help@mentorcollective.org>.

HMSC Research Seminar - Community Benefits and Impacts from Offshore Wind Development<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…>
When: Thursday, May 8 - 3:30pm-4:30pm
Speakers: Julia Bingham (School of Public Policy, Oregon State University), Emily Miller (School of Public Policy, Oregon State University), Lorren Ruscetta (School of Marine Science & Policy, University of Delaware), Hossain Taufiq (School of Public Policy, Oregon State University), Greg Stelmach (School of Public Policy, Oregon State University)
Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365
Topic: Community Benefits and Impacts from Offshore Wind Development
Over the last few years, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has explored the possibility of leasing federal waters off the southern Oregon Coast for the construction of up to 3 gigawatts of floating offshore wind. The planned lease auction had been scheduled for October 2024 but was postponed due to lack of competitive interest from developers. While leasing efforts are currently paused at the federal level, state policymakers are actively developing a roadmap for offshore wind development that would clarify the state's role and priorities, largely driven by contentious responses to development from local community members, commercial fishers, and tribes.
One potential mechanism for addressing public concerns is the negotiation of community benefit arrangements (CBAs). On the East Coast, where offshore wind development is further along, various communities have negotiated CBAs with offshore wind developers that specify the benefits to those affected by development. However, CBAs can encompass a wide range of benefits or community priorities, and the negotiation can be challenging for communities that lack experience with such arrangements.
Our seminar will give a brief overview of the offshore wind planning effort in Oregon, cover the various forms of offshore wind CBAs that have been negotiated around the U.S., and share insights from interviews with both local communities and offshore wind developers on how both sides approach CBAs.
HMSC Research Seminar - Fisheries Climate Adaptation: Case Studies for Broadbill Swordfish and Red Abalone<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…>
When: Thursday, May 22 - 3:30pm-4:30pm
Speaker: Jessica Bolin, a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Davis
Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365
Topic: Fisheries climate adaptation: case studies for broadbill swordfish and red abalone
This talk will present two case studies investigating the effects of climate change on commercially important fisheries species. First, we focus on links between the rapidly warming East Australian Current and the prevalence of Kudoa sp. infection in broadbill swordfish, leading to myoliquefaction ('jellymeat') of the flesh. By combining molecular techniques, microscopy, and dynamic spatiotemporal modeling, we developed predictions, forecasts and climate projections of high-risk areas within the fishery, to help minimize wastage and improve sustainability of the industry. Second, we focus on red abalone, by defining and mapping climate refugia within the California Current. By integrating measures of physiological stress in response to environmental conditions with output from dynamically downscaled climate models, we will identify potential refugia that are most conducive to facilitating the persistence of abalone under changing ocean conditions.
