“…In theory, market‐based incentives facilitate technology innovation (Jaffe & Stavins, 1995) and increase net benefits by reducing compliance costs and increasing flexibility in achieving environmental goals (Olmstead, 2010). Though market‐based instruments were historically utilized for air pollutants like sulfur dioxide, they have more recently been applied to water quality (Breetz, Fisher‐Vanden, Jacobs, & Shary, 2005; Stephenson & Shabman, 2011), nutrient trading (Barry, King, Larson, & Lennox, 2010), and carbon offset programs (Mooney, Antle, Capalbo, & Paustian, 2004a, 2004b).…”

Environmental policy research continues to advance toward a more Kuhnian “normal” science where theory and empirical tools are brought to bear on real‐world policy systems to better understand social processes and determine the context in which policies work best. Traditional environmental policy tools now involve more flexible market‐based instruments, voluntary agreements, and information provision tools like ecolabels and sustainability indicators. Policy process theories continue to be refined through hypothesis testing and are evolving into more integrative and multidisciplinary frameworks. Interdisciplinary methods are also being employed to better measure and analyze environmental outcomes, which has always been a major challenge in environmental policy research. These research tools are being explored in emerging policy approaches like collaborative partnerships and with novel environmental issues like climate change adaptation, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and nanotechnology.

“…Vibrio prevalence in seals from TB was the least among all the locations. Rural land surrounding TB is typically used for agriculture where the dominant enterprise is livestock farming [5]. Movement patterns and habitat use of seals from TB are unknown making it difficult to make inferences about dynamics of Vibrio in seals sampled at this location.…”

I consider my experience at Moss Landing Marine Labs a memorable adventure, and this thesis a cherished accomplishment. This work was made possible by the guidance, support, and comedic relief of many individuals. With immense gratitude, I would like to thank my advisor and friend, Dr. Jim Harvey. Jim, you provided for me the opportunity to pursue the work I love, challenged my academic abilities, sharpened my analytical skills, and shared valuable perspective on life outside MLML. Your wit and humor kept me entertained and calm in the lab and field. It was greatly appreciated. Admittedly, I was amazed and envious that you had energy to spare after we spent hours working up dozens of seals on a "good" Tomales day. I also would like to thank my committee members, Drs. Frances Gulland and Mike Graham. Frances, you have been an incredible mentor. I am deeply appreciative of your support and encouragement. Thank you for fostering my excitement for this project, entertaining my many tangents, and for being a humble, fun, and brilliant role model. Mike, you lit the spark within me that has forever changed the way I view nature and science. Your enthusiasm for the natural world is radiant, and infectious. Naturally, I am susceptible! Thank you, because that energy stuck with me and was essential for completing this work. Special thanks to Liz McHuron, Denise Greig, and Jenny Carlson for their unconditional support, encouragement, and constructive criticism throughout this work.
