Oceanographic variability is increasingly recognized as a driver of change in marine ecosystems. Understanding the effects of this oceanographic variability and its extremes on organisms, populations, ecosystems and the critical services they deliver is of great scientific interest and pivotal for resource management and policy. The overarching goal of this project is to determine how small-scale heterogeneity in habitat quality and site-specific vulnerability to extreme oceanographic conditions might help identify safe spaces and protect coastal populations and fisheries from the detrimental effects of increasing frequency, intensity and durations of extreme oceanographic conditions. This project will combine detailed nearshore oceanographic studies with ecological experiments and coupled biophysical modeling to advance understanding of the drivers of local oceanographic variability and consequent effects on coastal marine animals. The research will determine how multiple, potentially stressful, environmental drivers co-vary in the field and how such variation affects the population dynamics of coastal species. Specifically, this project will provide key insights regarding how changes in ocean acidification, dissolved oxygen and temperature will affect green and pink abalone, an ecologically and economically important resource in the southern California Current. Team members will work with partner non-governmental organizations, resource agencies, and fishing cooperative federations to disseminate results and incorporate data and insights into fisheries management and adaptation initiatives in Baja California, Mexico and in California, USA. This project will also support the training and professional development of underrepresented groups at the high school, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels through direct involvement in research, intensive courses and international workshops.Despite large-scale drivers and regional perturbations, local variability in ocean conditions may be a major driver of the overall performance and vulnerability of coastal marine species. Research performed as part of this project will test two specific hypotheses: (1) The relative influences of upwelling versus tides, as mediated by coastal geometry and structural complexity associated with rocky reefs and kelp forests act to create high local variability in physical conditions, at scales of 10s-1000s meters; and (2) Local variability in oceanographic conditions results in high local patchiness in the performance of sedentary marine organisms, providing for safe spaces in the face of escalating heat waves, hypoxia, and acidification, that have caused recent mass mortalities in multiple species across the California Current region. Integrated oceanographic-ecological field studies will be conducted along the coast of Baja California, Mexico, using green and pink abalone (Haliotis fulgens, H. corrugata) as model species. Complementary laboratory experiments will evaluate how different exposure regimes (frequency, intensity and duration of high temperature, and/or low dissolved oxygen and acidity events) may affect the demography and persistence of abalone populations under current and future environments. Coupled biophysical and population models will integrate results from the field and laboratory experiments to understand how local variability in ocean conditions affects population dynamics over longer periods. The research will advance the understanding of factors affecting the resilience coastal species by (1) ascertaining how large-scale oceanographic phenomena manifest in ocean conditions (dissolved oxygen, acidity, temperature) at local scales that are most relevant to coastal marine ecosystems and (2) determining the effects of current, and expected future, ocean conditions and variability on important marine species.

海洋变化越来越被认为是海洋生态系统变化的驱动因素。了解这种海洋变化及其极端情况对生物体、种群、生态系统及其提供的关键服务的影响具有重大的科学意义，对于资源管理和政策至关重要。该项目的总体目标是确定生境质量的小规模异质性和特定地点对极端海洋条件的脆弱性如何有助于确定安全空间并保护沿海人口和渔业免受极端天气频率、强度和持续时间增加的不利影响。海洋学条件。该项目将把详细的近岸海洋学研究与生态实验和耦合生物物理模型结合起来，以促进对当地海洋变化的驱动因素及其对沿海海洋动物的影响的理解。该研究将确定多重、潜在压力的环境驱动因素如何在实地共同变化，以及这种变化如何影响沿海物种的种群动态。具体来说，该项目将提供有关海洋酸化、溶解氧和温度的变化如何影响绿色和粉红色鲍鱼（南加州洋流的生态和经济重要资源）的重要见解。团队成员将与非政府组织、资源机构和渔业合作社联合会合作，传播结果并将数据和见解纳入墨西哥下加利福尼亚州和美国加利福尼亚州的渔业管理和适应举措中。该项目还将通过直接参与研究、强化课程和国际研讨会，支持高中、本科生、研究生和博士后级别代表性不足群体的培训和专业发展。尽管存在大规模驱动因素和区域扰动，但海洋条件的局部变化可能是沿海海洋物种整体表现和脆弱性的主要驱动因素。作为该项目的一部分进行的研究将测试两个具体假设：（1）上升流与潮汐的相对影响，由海岸几何形状和与岩礁和海带森林相关的结构复杂性介导，会导致物理条件的局部高度变化， 10s-1000s米的尺度； (2) 海洋条件的局部变化导致定居海洋生物表现的高度局部斑块性，为面对不断升级的热浪、缺氧和酸化提供了安全空间，这些现象最近导致了全球多个物种的大规模死亡。加利福尼亚州 当前地区。将利用绿色和粉红色鲍鱼（Haliotis fulgens、H. corrugata）作为模型物种，在墨西哥下加利福尼亚州海岸进行综合海洋生态实地研究。补充实验室实验将评估不同的暴露方式（高温和/或低溶解氧和酸度事件的频率、强度和持续时间）如何影响当前和未来环境下鲍鱼种群的人口统计和持久性。耦合的生物物理和种群模型将整合现场和实验室实验的结果，以了解海洋条件的局部变化如何影响较长时期内的种群动态。该研究将通过（1）确定与沿海海洋生态系统最相关的局部尺度的海洋条件（溶解氧、酸度、温度）中大规模海洋学现象如何表现，以及（2 ）确定当前和预期的未来海洋条件和变化对重要海洋物种的影响。
