1:00 PM - 2:00 PM	Department of Fisheries Oceanography PhD Dissertation Defense by Megan Winton. Titled: Integrating telemetry data to improve abundance estimates and management advice for highly migratory marine species Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: SMAST East Rooms 101-103 836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford and via Zoom Advisor: Gavin Fay Committee Members: Diego Bernal, Steven Cadrin, Heather Haas, Gregory Skomal Abstract Telemetry-integrated models have long been heralded as a potential tool to overcome data gaps and improve distribution and abundance estimates for highly migratory marine species, which remain unavailable for many populations. However, conceptual and practical (i.e. computational) difficulties have limited their development and implementation to date. In this dissertation, I extend existing spatial modeling approaches for line-transect and capture-recapture survey data to allow for the direct integration of telemetry data into population models, with the aim of improving estimates of abundance and other population parameters. To do so, in Chapters I and II, I develop hierarchical models for satellite and acoustic telemetry data that are compatible with spatial approaches for estimating abundance from line transect and capture-recapture data. In Chapter III, I develop and evaluate the predictive performance of a framework for inferring the distribution and relative density of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from line transect data that integrated satellite telemetry and incidental catch data. Finally, in Chapter IV, I develop and test an acoustic telemetry-integrated spatial framework for estimating the abundance and dynamics of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) from capture-recapture surveys conducted at seasonal aggregation sites. Conceptually, the hierarchical spatial structure of the models presented in each chapter provide a logically consistent way of approaching disparate datasets, which makes it possible to translate different data types across ecological subfields and accommodate several sources of bias common to both survey types as well as tagging studies. In so doing, this dissertation provides a straightforward, intuitive framework for integrating telemetry data into abundance and distribution estimates from standardized survey data, which has the potential to improve the reliability of science-based advice for highly migratory marine species, as illustrated by the results of each chapter. The results of Chapter I indicate that the model developed for satellite tagging data outperforms conventional estimators when the number of tag transmissions changes over time, a common source of bias in satellite telemetry studies that is rarely addressed. When applied to data collected from 271 satellite tagged loggerhead sea turtles by six different research programs, the new model suggests that tagged loggerheads inhabit the continental shelf along the U.S. Atlantic from Florida to North Carolina year-round but also highlight the importance of summer foraging areas on the mid-Atlantic shelf. In Chapter II, the model developed to estimate individual centers of activity for acoustic telemetry data successfully accounted for variation in receiver detection ranges, revealing fine-scale movements that were not apparent when conventional estimators assuming a constant detection range were applied. The integrated model in Chapter III jointly estimated the distribution of loggerhead sea turtles in the US mid-Atlantic from aerial survey, satellite telemetry, and incidental catch records in relation to sea surface temperature (SST) and depth and better predicted the distribution of the species in comparison with models based on individual data sources. Finally, the results of Chapter IV illustrate that conventional capture-recapture models do not adequately represent the migratory behavior of white sharks and can produce biased estimates of abundance that would be misleading if used as the basis for management advice. Because it directly links changes in abundance over time to the demographic processes underpinning them, the model described provides a more mechanistic understanding of the dynamics of white shark aggregations and improves the applied relevance of the results for the conservation and management of the species. By providing a unified spatial modeling framework for electronic tagging and structured survey data that is computationally feasible and efficient to fit, the work presented in this dissertation will hopefully make these methods more accessible to ecologists and allow for their more widespread adoption. While much work remains to be done, integrated approaches are likely to become increasingly important for answering conservation and management-related questions as the availability of new data types grows, which will be especially valuable when dealing with rare, elusive highly migratory marine species, many of which are threatened or endangered. Though the focus here was to determine how various types of telemetry data could be integrated into models for standardized survey data and to evaluate how their integration impacted distribution and abundance estimates...

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM	DFO/DEOS Seminar - FishFLOW: Towards an Integrated Ecosystem Assessment of Fisheries and Offshore Wind Development in the Gulf of Maine by: Julia Bingham Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: SMAST E 101-103 and via Zoom Abstract: The development of floating offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) will variably impact the ecology, oceanography, socioeconomics, and culture of the GOM social-ecological system. A recent Synthesis of the Science effort identified that potential interactions between offshore wind and GOM fisheries and fishing communities are of particular concern, but lacking understanding (Hogan et al. 2023). The Fisheries and Floating Offshore Wind Integrated Ecosystem Assessment for the Gulf Of Maine (FishFLOW IEA) is a transdisciplinary inter-institutional collaborative effort by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), the Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA), the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center (URI CRC) and Rhode Island Sea Grant seeking to address this concern using an Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) framework (Levin et. al., 2014). As offshore wind development continues accelerating in US territorial waters, IEAs can serve an important role in supporting direct stakeholder input to deliverables designed to address decision points in wind siting, construction, operation, and monitoring processes. In the FishFlOW IEA project, our methodology emphasizes human dimensions considerations in ecosystem approaches by forefronting qualitative social science methods, community engagement, and local ecological knowledge (LEK) in an effort to identify complex interactions between offshore wind, fisheries, and the environment, and to produce tools for environmental analyses and impact assessment. We are engaging with fishing industry and community members as well as scientists, state and federal managers, and offshore wind developers to build the IEA. We first developed a conceptual model of interactions between fisheries and floating offshore wind using public comment forums and existing scientific knowledge. We then facilitated a series of participatory workshops with multiple GOM ocean user groups to collaboratively refine the model, identify knowledge gaps, and determine key indicators and data needs. In our next steps, we will continue to work with fishing communities and research and management groups to identify key data sources, appropriately apply LEK, and co-produce information for indicator assessment. In this presentation, Dr. Bingham will discuss insights from our work so far and reflect on our methodological approach.

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM	Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences PhD Proposal Defense by Leticia Fabre De Lima Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: SMAST West 204 and via Zoom. Abstract: Ocean surface waves are well-known for their crucial role in energy transport, mixing, and their impact on coastal structures. However, the interior of the ocean is also far from at rest. There are internal waves that propagate beneath the sea surface between stratified layers of fluid. These waves span a remarkable range of scales with frequency going from 1 cycle per day to 1 cycle per minute and with horizontal scales as large as 500 kilometers and as small as a few hundred meters. The broad range of scales exhibited by internal waves, while fascinating, is what also makes it challenging to study them, since the identification of individual plane waves in open ocean data sets is difficult. For certain purposes, a statistical representation of the internal wave field is useful. In a series of historical papers, Garrett and Munk proposed an empirical model (GM spectrum) that describes the oceanic internal wave field, particularly in the deep open ocean. The governing hypothesis of the GM spectrum is that the horizontally-averaged, depth-integrated total energy of the ocean internal wave field is nearly constant across the world oceans. Of course, this universality is not exact, and the deviations from this universality can provide clues to explain the generation, propagation, and dissipation of internal waves. This project proposes an investigation of the global variability of the internal gravity wave field and its implications for lateral dispersion that is divided into three main goals. First, we propose an alternative formulation of the GM spectrum, which is less approximate and more promising for representing non-hydrostatic internal waves more accurately. Next, we propose the development of a parametric model, which we then fit to a velocity time series available through a global mooring data set in order to investigate observed variability of the internal wave spectrum. Finally, we intend to examine submesoscale lateral dispersion in the ocean interior induced by internal waves.
