been above average. Warm
temperatures that start-
ed with the “Blob” and the
strong 2015-16 El Niño
have persisted across much
of the region despite two
weak La Niñas.
The initial marine heat
wave resulted in dramatic
changes to marine ecosys-
tems at all trophic levels
from diatoms to marine
mammals. While the distri-
butions and abundances of
many species have returned
to normal, other changes
continue due to biological
lags and the persistence of
warm water species in our
area.
This talk provides an
update on how the “Blob,”
El Niño, and La Niñas
changed the ocean and the
biological response to those
changes, including many
observations from our local
area.
Weitkamp has been a
Salmon Biologist at NOAA’s
Northwest Fisheries Sci-
ence Center since 1992.
Her research focuses on
the ecology of salmon in
estuarine and marine en-
vironments, including how
physical conditions influ-
ence biological processes
that are important for sur-
vival.
This topic includes doc-
umenting the impacts of
recent anomalous condi-
tions on marine ecosystems
across the North Pacific
Ocean.
The Siuslaw Watershed
Council, along with lo-
cal partners including the
Confederated Tribes of
the Coos, Lower Umpqua
and Siuslaw Indians, the
Siuslaw National Forest,
the Bureau of Land Man-
agement, the Soil and Wa-
ter Conservation District,
McKenzie River Trust and
many more, are working
to restore habitat for fish
during their freshwater life
stages.
“In the late 1800s, we
know from cannery records
that as many as 450,000
coho salmon returned to
the Siuslaw every year. That
number decreased to as
low as 500 coho salmon re-
turning in the 1990s,” said
Siuslaw Watershed Coun-
cil Executive Director Eli
Tome. “We are working to
ensure we have a sustain-
able and resilient popula-
tion of salmon in the Siu-
slaw and Coastal Lakes so
that future generations may
still have salmon in their
streams.”
