Scenarios for offshore wind power production for Central California Call Areas

Yi-Hui Wang, Ryan K. Walter, Crow White, Matthew D. Kehrli, Benjamin Ruttenberg

Summary: The study provides a detailed analysis of offshore wind power potential in two Central California Call Areas, highlighting the characteristics and advantages of each area and offering guidance for their development. The combined power production from these fully developed Call Areas could potentially contribute a significant amount of electricity to California's energy grid.

Potential environmental effects of deepwater floating offshore wind energy facilities

Hayley Farr, Benjamin Ruttenberg, Ryan K. Walter, Yi-Hui Wang, Crow White

Summary: The potential environmental effects of deepwater, floating offshore wind energy facilities include changes to atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, electromagnetic field effects on marine species, habitat alterations, underwater noise effects, structural impediments to wildlife, and changes to water quality. Many of these potential effects could be mitigated with appropriate mitigation strategies and best-practice protocols, lowering the risk to the marine environment.

Reproduction, body condition, age, and growth of a large sandy intertidal bivalve, Tivela stultorum

Alexandria R. Marquardt, Noel M. Clark, Eliana G. Maietta, Sara K. Park, Benjamin Ruttenberg

Summary: The iconic Pismo clam population in California has declined due to overfishing in recent decades. Researchers conducted a study on the reproductive cycles and growth rates of the clams to aid in their management and restoration. The study found that reproductive timing has slightly deviated from historical records, with clams spawning later in the year. Body condition indices correlate with reproductive stage, providing a cost-effective way to monitor reproduction. Growth rates were faster in Southern California compared to Central California, but still slower than historical estimates.

Feces consumption by nominally herbivorous fishes in the Caribbean: an underappreciated source of nutrients?

Hannah S. Rempel, Abigail K. Siebert, Jacey C. Van Wert, Kelly N. Bodwin, Benjamin Ruttenberg

Summary: Parrotfishes and surgeonfishes in the Caribbean are important herbivores that graze on reef algae, but they also consume other nutrient-dense sources such as cyanobacteria. This study found that a large percentage of fecal pellets produced by Brown Chromis were consumed by parrotfishes and surgeonfishes, and these pellets may contain higher nutritional value compared to various macroalgae and epilithic algae matrix.

Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of California Commercial Fisheries from 2005 to 2019 and Potential Overlap with Offshore Wind Energy Development

Yi-Hui Wang, Ryan K. Walter, Crow White, Benjamin Ruttenberg

Summary: As climate change continues to impact California, the state's commercial fisheries are undergoing changes, shifting from higher-biomass, lower-value species to lower-biomass, higher-value species. Despite a decline in total landings, the total value has remained relatively stable, with the northern half of the state contributing significantly to the overall value. Groundfish has been identified as the dominant fisheries in areas prioritized for potential offshore wind development in central and northern California.
