Hydrographic data collected over the period 1997–2013 are analyzed to investigate the
seasonality of hydrographic features and associated geostrophic flows off the Baja …

Abstract The Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida Carpenter 1864, is the only native oyster on the
west coast of the United States and is the focus of current restoration efforts. This species …

The use of information of net primary productivity (NPP) from remote ocean color sensors is
increasingly common in marine sciences. The resulting information has been used to …

Coastal retention zones occur in the lee of headlands and within bays of coastal upwelling
environments. Because retention zones can concentrate and retain communities of coastal …

The west coast of Southern Baja California is subject to intense seasonal variability,
presenting lowest temperatures from February to April partly due to the upwelling season but …

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) are characterized by a dissolved oxygen (DO)
concentration< 0.5 ml L− 1. In situ DO measurements suggest that the global OMZ upper …

The fishing bycatch of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) epitomizes the challenges
of designing fisheries management strategies to protect highly migratory, endangered …

Biogeochemical tracers of marine productivity and sea surface temperature (SST) are widely
used to reconstruct conditions associated with upwelling systems. The connection of these …

Stable oxygen isotopes of Globigerinoides ruber sl and Globigerina bulloides have been
widely used to infer the variability of the water column hydrographic structure over various …

The distribution of the subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) layer, its taxonomic
phytoplankton composition, and the maximum quantum efficiency of charge separation of …
