Hatfield Marine Science Center
Research focused on how benthic species, communities, and ecosystems respond to anthropogenic stressors and other environmental change.
We survey habitats, organisms, and artificial structure to assess potential ecological effects of offshore renewable energy installations.
We use benthic species distributions to define habitat types and use habitat suitability modeling to investigate potential new areas of distribution for species of interest in response to ocean changes.
We tagged rockfish, lingcod, and Dungeness crab to assess their response to a seismic survey in summer 2021
