November 6, 2019: Data Janitor: Integrating environmental and fishery data feeds for easier access by managers and stakeholders. A talk by Jordan Watson (NOAA Fisheries) on the integration of fishery and environmental data that facilities a framework for connecting that data more easily for management. 

November 20, 2019: Are age-0 Arctic cod retained over the Chukchi Sea shelf during summer? A talk by Robert Levine (University of Washington School of Oceanography) on using repeat summer acoustic surveys in the northeast Chukchi Sea to observe changes in the age-0 Arctic code population to investigate what drives interannual changes in distribution and the fate of these fish as they grow. 

November 27, 2019: Onramps and offramps: Three proposed uses for spatio-temporal models in connecting ecosystem surveys to fisheries management. A talk by Jim Thorson (NOAA Fisheries) on three examples of using spatio-temporal models to investigate processes driving shifts in spatial distribution, secondary production, and recruitment in the eastern Bering Sea. 

December 4, 2019: Trophic cascades, climate change, and the fate of a kelp forest ecosystem. A talk by Douglas Rasher (Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences) on how the emergency effects of climate change and megafaunal loss are reshaping an icon kelp forest ecosystem. 

December 11, 2019: Bottoms Up: King County phytoplankton and zooplankton monitoring in the Puget Sound. A talk by Kimberle Stark (King County) on methods for monitoring phytoplankton and zooplankton, changes we've observed, and factors that influence dynamics in the Puget Sound region. 

December 18, 2019: Into the great wide open: Colonization of novel habitat by Atlantic Salmon. A talk by Danielle Frechette (Maine Department of Marine Resources) on a bird's eye view of a colonization program implemented for Atlantic salmon population enhancement in a Quebec river.
