SUMMARY:"Conserving Small Natural Features with Large Ecological Importance"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by:  Aram Calhoun and Mac Hunter\, Department of Wildlife\, Fisheries\, & Conservation Biology \nSmall Natural Features (SNFs) are analogous to keystone species in that they have ecological importance that is disproportionate to their small size. Consider coral heads in a sea grass dominated bay\, groundwater springs in a desert\, or the narrow riparian zones that line streams. The recognition and management of SNFs can be an efficient way to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. In particular\, while the small size of SNFs can engender threats (e.g.\, they are often overlooked and are relatively vulnerable to complete destruction)\, small size also leads to special conservation opportunities (e.g.\, integration with resource uses such as forestry or fisheries). In practice\, conservation of SNFs should be complementary to traditional\, larger-scale\, forms of conservation by engendering creative\, constructive efforts to conserve some seemingly minor features; features that have previously unknown or unappreciated roles critical to their broader ecosystems and to biodiversity. \n

SUMMARY:Researcher who found massive decline in blue mussels to speak at the Darling Marine Center
DESCRIPTION:Cascade Sorte\, a biologist who documented a massive decline in wild blue mussels in the Gulf of Maine\, will be at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center (DMC) in Walpole\, on Thursday\, October 6\, to present a “brown-bag” seminar. Her talk\, “Global change consequences and coping mechanisms in coastal marine systems\,” starts at noon. \nRecently\, Sorte’s research has received national media attention because of her findings that blue mussels have decreased by more than 60 percent over the last 40 years. Once covering two-thirds of the intertidal zone\, mussels now cover less than 15 percent. \n“It would be like losing a forest\,” Sorte\, an assistant professor at the University of California\, Irvine (UCI)\, told the Associated Press in September. \nBut the significance of her research goes beyond those alarming numbers. Climate change has already led to widespread changes in coastal marine systems\, according to Sorte. \nRecording how marine species have responded so far is a step toward understanding how they will—or won’t—survive in the future\, when changes in the coastal environment are predicted to accelerate. \n“There are several theories why the mussel decline happened—personally I think it is the result of green crabs—but before we can go very far into that line of research we need to know there is a widespread and distinct pattern\,” said Bob Steneck\, a University of Maine professor in the School of Marine Sciences\, who is based at the DMC. “Cascade Sorte’s work did just that. It will be the foundation for most future research in that area.” \nThe study\, which Sorte conducted with colleagues from UCI\, was recently published in the Global Change Biology journal. The presentation will be a return to Maine for Sorte\, who has been coming to the DMC as a visiting researcher since 2007. \nThe DMC is located at 193 Clarks Cove Road in Walpole\, and the talk will take place in Brooke Hall on the lower waterfront campus. Please bring your own brown bag lunch. \nThe University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center is the state’s hub for applied research for coastal fisheries\, aquaculture\, and environmental monitoring. For directions or more information about the DMC please visit our website dmc.umaine.edu.

SUMMARY:Autumn Dessert Social for Darling Marine Center Friends and Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:Friends and neighbors of the Darling Marine Center are invited to an Autumn Dessert Social on Wednesday\, October 19\, to learn about the developing plans for the future of University of Maine’s marine laboratory. \nThe social will take place in Brooke Hall on the DMC’s lower waterfront campus from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public\, but seating is limited. RSVP by October 17 online at dmc.umaine.edu or by calling 207.563.3146. \n“We have been hard at work since last spring\, developing a strategic plan for the Darling Marine Center’s next decade\,” said DMC Director Heather Leslie. “This draft plan will be publicly available soon. This event is an informal opportunity for our neighbors and local supporters to come together with good food and good company\, and preview where we are headed\, in terms of research\, education\, and community and industry engagement.” \nLeslie\, who began as DMC director in August 2015\, has been working closely with the Steering Committee composed of UMaine faculty\, staff\, and students in Walpole and Orono on the draft plan. She emphasized that this and other listening sessions are an essential part of the plan development. \n“We are eager to hear from our neighbors about how the Darling Center can have an even greater impact on the coastal communities and marine economy of Maine\,” Leslie explained. “With our business incubation spaces and close partnerships with oyster growers and fishermen\, the DMC has a long and deep track record of responsive\, industry relevant research. We want to be sure that we build on that tradition and understand what Maine’s marine industries and local communities need in order to continue to thriving in this changing environment.” \nHigh school students are particularly encouraged to attend. UMaine undergraduate marine science students\, along with DMC-based faculty and staff\, will be on hand to talk about their work at the marine lab. This fall\, 25 students are in residence at the DMC\, as part of Semester by the Sea\, UMaine’s experiential program in marine sciences. Students enrolled in UMaine’s School of Marine Sciences live at the DMC for the semester\, taking ecology\, oceanography\, and biology classes and working directly with DMC researchers on projects related to Maine’s marine ecosystems and aquaculture and lobster industries\, among other topics. \nLocated at 193 Clarks Cove Road in Walpole\, the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center is an active center of marine research\, education\, and community engagement. We study coastal and marine ecosystems\, as well as the human communities that are a part of them\, in Maine and around the world. For directions or more information about the DMC please visit our website dmc.umaine.edu.

SUMMARY:Deep sea corals and policy of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monument
DESCRIPTION:Deep sea corals and policy of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monument \nDrs. Rhian Waller and Aaron Strong \nUniversity of Maine \n  \nOn September 15th\, 2016\, President Obama designated the 4\,913 square-mile Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Marine Monument off the coast of New England. Among the main drivers for its creation was the preservation of marine diversity\, most notably that of deep sea corals. Deep sea corals are integral in providing the foundation for vibrant deep-sea ecosystems\, but due to their relative inaccessibility compared to their shallow water counterparts\, they represent more of an enigma in the public eye. Amidst the designation (roughly the size of Connecticut)\, industry members particularly in fisheries have raised objections to the executive authority exercised in creating the monument. At a time when conservationists seem to be rejoicing\, fishing industry members face dimmer future prospects in a region and occupation already rife with uncertainty. In this special seminar\, Dr. Waller will give an overview of deep sea coral biology and ecology. Dr. Strong will follow with a broad discussion of the legal and policy ramifications associated with the designation. The presentations will be followed by an open discussion period. \n  \nThe University of Maine does not discriminate on the grounds of race\, color\, religion\, sex\, sexual orientation\, including transgender status and gender expression\, national origin\, citizenship status\, age\, disability\, genetic information or veteran’s status in employment\, education\, and all other programs and activities. The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding non-discrimination policies: Director\, Office of Equal Opportunity\, 101 North Stevens Hall\, 581-1226. If you are a person with a disability and need an accommodation to participate in this program\, please call Dr. Susan Brawley \, as early as possible\, at 207.581.2973 or Dr. Lee Karp-Boss at 207-581.4305 to discuss your needs. \nFor those interested\, a short introduction to Cnidarians and a chance to view deep sea corals under a microscope with Dr. Waller will precede the seminar in Aubert 488 at 1:00 pm. All are welcome!\nHost: Robert Boenish (robert.boenish@maine.edu)

SUMMARY:The Estuarine Axis of Evil: How Tidal Wetlands Toxify  Mercury From the Air and Spit It Out Into Coastal Waters
DESCRIPTION:School of Marine Sciences and Dept. of Wildlife\, Fisheries and Conservation Biology \nJoint Seminar \nOctober 21\, 2016 \n11:00 a.m. ~ Senator George Mitchell Center \n\nDr. Brian Bergamaschi \nUSGS – Sacramento Field Office \nThe Estuarine Axis of Evil: How Tidal Wetlands Toxify Mercury From the Air and Spit It Out Into Coastal Waters \n\nElevated mercury levels have been widely reported in wading birds\, raptors\, alligators\, sport fish and other animal species in the South Florida’s coastal and inland waters\, and in sport fish and birds in San Francisco Bay. In the case of South Florida\, the source of the mercury entering the food web is unknown because there are no nearby geological sources. In the case of San Francisco Bay\, although there is a great deal of mercury in aquatic environments due to legacy of gold mining\, the process by which mercury is altered into methyl mercury (MeHg) — the organic form that can bio -accumulate — is not understood. Tidal wetlands in estuaries contain the “biogeochemical axis of evil”: a witch’s brew of sulfate\, mercury\, and easily-degradable organic material that leads to formation of MeHg right where tidal exchange can transport it into the estuary. We developed methods to characterize the flux of MeHg from tidal wetlands and found that both tidal wetlands produce and export the highest amount of MeHg ever reported from wetlands\, indicating that tidal wetlands can be significant sources to estuarine foodwebs. Further\, our results show that the source of mercury being methylated can be atmospheric\, suggesting that remediation efforts focused on source control may not achieve desired results in these settings. In collaboration with JA Fleck\, kR Fujii\, B Downiing\, DP Krabbenhoft\, GR Aiken\, and many others. \nPolycom availability with Darling Marine Center\, Gulf of Maine Research Institute\, and Bigelow Laboratories \nHosts: Lee Karp-Boss (lee.karp-boss@maine.edu)\, Aly McKnight (aly.mcknight@gmail.com) \nThe University of Maine does not discriminate on the grounds of race\, color\, religion\, sex\, sexual orientation\, including transgender status and gender expression\, national origin\, citizenship status\, age\, disability\, genetic information or veteran’s status in employment\, education\, and all other programs and activities.
