    PBS Kids Show "SciGirls" Features Sea Grant Research

    November 2, 2012Contact: Christina S. Johnson, [email protected]

    A new episode of the acclaimed PBS Kids show "SciGirls"features California Sea Grant's Theresa Talley in actionwith young scientists.

    In the episode "Habitat Havoc," Talley, an invasive speciesecologist with an active interest in K-12 education, leadsthree exuberant SciGirls on a science adventure to thebanks of the San Diego River.

    There, they collect bugs, and compare tree leaves and soilsunder native arroyo willows and nonindigenous CanaryIsland date palms. Their sleuthing shows that there arefewer bugs living around the non-native palms. At theshow's end, their findings are presented to fellow students,and they ultimately convince the class to help plant abutterfly garden.

    bigger waves from the north Pacific.

    Bigger waves mean stronger rip currents, as well as stronger longshore currentsand narrower, steeper beaches. But, it is the "rips" that pose the greatest danger topublic safety because they can so easily carry swimmers to deeper water,triggering panic the worst possible response.

    According to a recent journal article, rip currents are responsible for more than 100deaths annually in the United States and for fully 80 percent of lifeguard rescues.

    View NOAA Sea Grant's "Break the Grip of the Rip" campaign for more on swimmersafety.

    "When people go to the beach, they should scan the beach, the water and thewaves for a few minutes," says Stephen Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach, author of "Ripcurrents: types and identification" published in Shore & Beach, the journal of theAmerican Shore & Beach Preservation Association.

    Knowledge of these five types of rips is a way to build ocean smarts andawareness, both of which can help keep the beach fun, and safe, all year round.There should be no such thing as a bad day at the beach.

    1) Bar-gap rips

    (Above) An entire family stands at a beach in North Carolina in frontof what looks like a patch of calm water great for swimming. In actuality, it's thepath of a rip current, created by a gap in an offshore sand bar. Bar-gap rips are themost common type of rip current and thus the most dangerous to the public, butthey are also easy to spot in advance. Look for calm, darker water betweenareas where the waves are breaking. Polarized sun-glasses can help you spotthe dark patches.

    2) Structurally controlled rips

    Photo: Stephen Leatherman(Above) Shell Beach in La Jolla, California at a very low tideon a surf-less day. The long, submerged rocks set up a well-known rip, known asthe Shell Beach Express. Structurally controlled rips are created by permanentfeatures along the coast, including submerged rocks, groins (jetties) or piers. Thelocations of these rips are somewhat predictable, particularly for certain swelldirections, and hence relatively easy to avoid. Surfers often use these rips as a"free ride" to the surf. For novice beach goers, they are hazardous.

    3) Mega rips

    Photo: Huntington Beach Lifeguards(Above) Huntington Beach in Orange County,California during a good swell. The swirl of white water past the surf is the tail endof the mega rip. The Huntington Beach Pier is about 1,800-feet in length.

    Mega rips are formed by big waves, interacting with underwater formations, such ascanyons or reefs, that focus rebounding wave energy. In general, the bigger thewaves, the stronger the currents. Why? Bigger waves pump more water onto thebeach and all the extra water must be drained away in either longshore or ripcurrents.

    If the surf is up, it's best to avoid swimming unless you have ocean experience.Even good pool swimmers can get freaked by nature's unrelenting playfulness.

    4) Flash rips

    Photo: Delaware Sea Grant(Above) Flash rips, marked by the red arrows, at a beach inDelaware. How can you tell these are rips? Look how the white water extendsbeyond the breaker zone and is climbing up the faces of the incoming waves. Thefoam is being carried in the rip. Watching the white water is good way to mentallytag what is going on in the surf zone. You can also look carefully at the texture ofthe water's surface to help you follow the direction of water movement.

    Flash rips are mostly an East Coast phenomenon. On days when flash rips arepossible, you will feel the wind on your face; the surf will be junky and blown-out,and there will be white caps farther out. Flash rips are very temporary andvariable and weaker than rips created by true ocean swells. They can still bedangerous because of their unpredictability.

    5) Cusped-shore rips

    Not a phenomenon found in California. These rips form on superflat beaches with sugary sand and offshore shoals mounds of sand as opposedto long linear sand bars. The shoals steer nearshore currents, creating bow-shaped, scalloped or meandering shorelines. Pictured above is a beach on theFlorida Panhandle with these characteristics. Note the sand cusps. Rips will form inthe calmer water the embayments between the cusps. These rips are not nearlyas strong as those powered by large surf but can nonetheless catch swimmers offguard. It's safer for children to swim and play in the small waves than in theembayments between the cusps.

    Soybean Diets for Farmed Fish

    October 23, 2012Contact: Christina S. Johnson, [email protected], 858-822-5334

    What is the future of seafood?

    A new video, funded by the U.S. soybean industry, takes usbehind the scenes to what could become the beginning of a"green" fish-farming revolution.

    Watch the video.

    "The video shows folks that industry is concerned aboutsustainability and that research is being conducted toaddress potential problems with cage farming," said Donald Kent, president ofHubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute in San Diego. "Sea Grant and NOAA shouldtake some credit for making this a possibility."

    Fish farmers at the innovative Pacifico Aquaculture are raising white sea bass,yellowtail and other premium finfish species in floating open-ocean cages near IslaTodos Santos (a famous big wave surf spot) off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico.

    The farm has recently earned a "best aquaculture practices" certification for all itsgreen efforts.

    The facility has, for example, been purposefully sited near a deep-water canyonwith strong cleansing currents on the wave-protected side of the island. The resultis crystal clear water without direct exposure to heavy surf. The video also showssea lions frolicking about, while purple sea urchins and other small denizens thriveon rocky substrate on the seafloor.

    But, perhaps most significant is what the fish are eating. With science, farmers areraising fish on soy-based diets. Yes, the fish are basically eating tofu instead of thelittle fishes in the sea. This is good news for seabirds, dolphins, tunas and salmonthat rely on forage species. It's also good news for an industry that has a limitedgrowth potential unless it develops alternative feeds, such as plant-based ones.

    California Sea Grant has supported efforts to reduce the use of fishmeal and fish oilin white sea bass and yellowtail feeds. That work, led by a USDA nutritionalscientist and the aquaculture program director at Hubbs-SeaWorld, showed thatfish could thrive and sometimes outperform their counterparts raised on traditionalfishmeal-based diets. The program at Pacifico Aquaculture will confirm whether ornot plant-based diets are commercially feasible in the real world.

    In related work, California Sea Grant is also now funding studies on the early life-history requirements of yellowfin tuna, another promising species for commercialaquaculture.

    Fish eggs in vials sorted by visual markers such assize, shape and color. Photo: C. Johnson

    Scripps pier in La Jolla to collect fish eggs. DNA from theeggs will be extracted, amplified and sequenced to identifythe species of fish that produced the eggs.

    Her work is part of an ongoing Sea Grant project to optimizemolecular approaches for quickly, inexpensively andreliably identifying fish eggs and larvae, in light of rapidadvances in DNA sequencing technologies.

    If successful, scientists will be one big step closer to havinga much-needed tool for monitoring fish reproductivesuccess, the timing and location of fish spawning, howthese vary with environmental conditions and their link tonatural variations in fish population sizes. It could alsodetect new, non-native fish species, as well as shifts inspecies' ranges.

    We want to find the fastest, best way to analyze samples offish eggs, explains UC San Diegos Scripps Institution ofOceanography professor Ron Burton, the lead investigatoron the project, titled High-Throughput MolecularIdentification of Fish Eggs and Larvae.

    Fish eggs collected duringichthyoplankton surveys are typicallysorted by their size, shape and othervisually distinguishing characteristics.Each group of eggs is identified to specieslevel, if possible, and counted. Suchcounts are used to estimate the number ofspawning adults, an important parameterfor evaluating stock health and settingharvesting guidelines. The problem is thatsometimes eggs are incorrectly groupedtogether. Fisheries biologists cannotvisually tell apart some of the most common fish egg species, Burton says. Yet,they use these counts to establish fish spawning biomass.

    Previously, Burton and former Sea Grant Trainee Lani Gleason applied DNAbarcoding approaches to an archived record of fish eggs, collected during theCalCOFI cruises, that had been sorted, speciated and counted based on eggmorphologies (see image above). That analysis showed that fish eggs were oftenmisidentified. Particularly problematic was the whole flatfish family. Pacific halibut,sand dabs and diamond turbot were often confused.

    With the fish egg collecting now going on at the pier, the goal is to establish whatspecies are reproducing inshore locally; the probes for the CalCOFI project were tuned for common pelagic fish species found farther off the coast. Once this is

    done, biologists will reevaluate the best approach for genetically indentifying thelocal inshore fish community.

    One of the major objectives of the region's new marine reserve network is to protectlarger, older female fishes that produce the most eggs and hence are mostimportant to replenishing fish populations. The twice-weekly monitoring at the piermay shed light on whether this anticipated benefit is indeed occuring, or can bedetected, and for which fish species.

    currently holds a position as a senior policy advisor atNOAA Fisheries' Protected Resources Division inSacramento and prior to this (2009-2012) was a seniorpolicy advisor to the Under Secretary of Commerce forOceans and Atmosphere on domestic and internationalprotected resource and fisheries issues.

    Wulff began working at NOAA Fisheries Office ofInternational Affairs in 2008 while a John A. Knauss MarinePolicy Fellow and during his fellowship was instrumental inforging U.S. positions on issues related to the Conventionon International Trade in Endangered Species and International Commission for theConservation of Atlantic Tunas.

    His contributions to these delegations led to him being selected as the U.S.International Whaling Commission Coordinator in 2008. He is currently serving asan alternate commissioner to the IWC and in this capacity is contributing to severalU.S.-led whale conservation initiatives. These include promoting responsible whale-watching activities and reducing ocean noise, ship strikes and entanglement infishing gear. He and colleagues are also begining to look more closely at whaleconservation issues in the Arctic, where loss of sea ice is opening new transit waysfor ships and further encouraging oil and gas exploration.

    "My Knauss Fellowship was completely integral to where I am today," Wulff says."It was my first experience in federal marine policy, and it is what has led me towork on whale conservation."

    The John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship, sponsored by NOAAs National SeaGrant College Program, matches highly qualified graduates with hosts in legislativeor executive branches of federal government in the Washington, D.C. area for aone-year paid fellowship. The program is named in honor of the former NOAAadministrator and oceanographer.

    North Coast Marine Advisor Retires

    August 28, 2012

    Friends and colleagues gathered in Eureka, Calif., on Aug. 26to wish Susan Schlosser well as she retires from her 20-yearcareer in Humboldt County with the California Sea GrantExtension Program.

    In her early years with Sea Grant, Schlossers work includedresearch on sea urchin quality; and in later years focused onecosystem-based management, benthic habitats, the impactsof climate change, and invasive species.

    Guests were treated to a slideshow that included a photo ofSchlosser in the field, knee-deep in mud. It was the closestthing to dirt that Chris Dewees, former Extension directorand official roaster at the event, was able to dig up onSchlosser. Among stories shared was her around-the-world

    Legal and Regulatory Efforts to Minimize Expansion of Invasive Mussels through WatercraftMovements:A Co-learning Workshop

    On August 2223, 2012, a workshop was hosted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and convened inPhoenix, Arizona, by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Association of Attorneys General, Oregon SeaGrant, the National Sea Grant Law Center, and the Western Regional Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species. Thepurpose of the workshop was to engage Assistant Attorneys General, natural resource agency attorneys, lawenforcement supervisors, policy makers, and the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Coordinators from the 19 Westernstates, interstate organizations, and Federal partners to establish clear legal and regulatory approaches andopportunities for AIS abatement and reform. One clear deliverable from this workshop was the creation of an actionplan that articulates needed actions at the federal/national, regional, state, and local levels to minimize the expansionof invasive mussels through watercraft movements in the western United States.
