Book excerpt: The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. The Coastal Zone Information Center (CZIC) collection provides access to nearly 5,000 coastal related documents that the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) received from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central Library. The collection provides almost 30 years of data and information crucial to the understanding of U.S. coastal management and NOAA's mission to sustain healthy coasts. This is one of their documents.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a major amendment to Scientific Research Permit No. 16109-01 for takes of marine mammals and sea turtles in the wild, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Permit No. 16109-01 authorizes harassment during close approach via vessel for photo-identification, behavioral observations, and incidental harassment of marine mammals and sea turtles from New Jersey to North Carolina. The proposed permit amendment would: (1) extend the action area to include all U.S. waters from Maine to Florida to the to the limit of the Exclusive Economic Zone; (2) authorize harassment during aerial surveys; (3) change the frequency of vessel-based surveys currently authorized from once per season to twice a month, year-round; (4) increase take numbers of currently authorized marine mammals and sea turtles; and (5) add six species [i.e., Blainville's beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris), false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), loggerhead (Caretta caretta), Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles]. The requested changes would allow Versar, Inc. (fonnerly GeoMarine, Inc.) to collect the necessary data for generating abundance/density estimates for sea turtles and marine mammals. The amended permit would expire on May 15, 2017.
Download or read book Successful Conservation Strategies for Sea Turtles written by Monica Lara Uc and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of research, monitoring, and analysis, we still have so much to learn about sea turtles. As reptiles, they are environmentally sensitive animals and thus can sense acute changes in their habitat. This rudimentary tactic of ectothermic animals has possibly conceded to the survival of sea turtle populations over millions of years. They have endured cooling and warming of the earth. The habitats they depend on have endured fierce hurricanes and erosion. Now the question remains if sea turtle populations and their habitats will survive the challenges and pressures that humans place on the world. The anthology of research presented in this textbook is diverse and yet so interconnected. We cannot work to conserve wildlife populations without a fundamental understanding of habitat or the range of changes that individuals within a population can tolerate. Sea turtles are no exception. Changes in migration patterns due to climate change, diversity of food sources between species, acute habitat selection for nesting, mutations in genetics, and differences in anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry between species and even individuals make the study of sea turtles dynamic and challenging.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a scientific research permit for takes under the authority of the Endangered Species Act. The purpose of File No. 14176 is to collect biological and life history information on shortnose sturgeon in the Potomac River, Maryland and Virginia, including tracking seasonal movements, spawning periodicity, and genetics. The preferred alternative is not expected to have more than short-term effects on shortnose sturgeon and will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment"--Cover letter.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue Scientific Research Permits to GeoMarine, Inc (No. 16109) and Robert A. DiGiovanni Jr., Ph. D. (No. 15575) for takes of marine mammals and sea turtles in the wild, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.c. 1361 ct seq.) and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Both permits would be valid for five years from the date of issuance. Takes authorized under Permit No. 16109 would facilitate data collection that would help to provide a baseline of presence, distribution, abundance, movement patterns, and behavior of marine mammal and sea turtle species in nearshore waters (shoreline to the 30 m isobath) between southern New Jersey and the Virginia/North Carolina border. Takes authorized under Permit No. 15575 would facilitate data collection that would help to assess seasonal abundance and distribution of the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) and other protected marine mammals and sea turtles in the Mid Atlantic waters. Activities would include aerial surveys and vessel surveys for behavioral observations, photo-identification, photography, and videography"--Abstract from Environmental Assessment; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.

Download or read book Sea Turtles written by Candace Patterson and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern marine turtles belong to an ancient group of reptiles inhabiting the Earth for over 110 million years, since the Cretaceous. Marine turtles depend on both marine and terrestrial habitats for their growth and development, from high energy beaches to benthic reefs, and the open waters of the seas. All seven species of sea turtles are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals (IUCN 2011). The threats facing sea turtles are many, both on land and at sea, including habitat loss, predation, and human exploitation. This book examines the ecology, behavior and conservation efforts of sea turtles.
