	title = {Shell Boring Polychaetes and the Oregon Oyster Aquaculture Industry:  Spatial Distribution, Regulatory Actions, and Stakeholder Engagement},
	year = {2021},
	note = {In 2020, an infestation of invasive shell-boring polychaete worms (mud-blister worms) was discovered in Puget Sound, providing the impetus for this study.  While the boring done by the worms does not damage the quality of the oyster, it does affect its aesthetic appeal, and to some extent lowers productivity.  In this Master{\textquoteright}s thesis, the author endeavors to ascertain the distribution of mud blister worms in Oregon commercial oyster farms. The author also hoped to understand whether culture methods, seasonal changes and {\textquotedblleft}oyster shell metrics{\textquotedblright} affect the prevalence of the worms. Finally, the author attempted to show if their findings and outreach could improve the management of oyster farms and resource management decisions. (p.10)  Netarts Bay was found to be the most affected by the infestation.},

	year = {2008},
	note = {After the strong 1997/1998 El Nino, young green crabs appeared in several West Coast estuaries.  The question is:  would European green crabs maintain viable populations in their new environments once ocean conditions became less favorable to their survival?  This paper reports on a study of European green crabs during their first ten years in the Pacific Northwest.  Their populations declined as the 1997/1998 El Nino ebbed and less favorable conditions resumed. The downward trend was reversed in 2005 and 2006, however, and it now seems likely that mild winters and continued favorable recruitment could lead to their spread to northern British Columbia and Alaska.  This is an open-access article.},
