Book Coastal Monitoring through Partnerships

Download or read book Coastal Monitoring through Partnerships written by Brian D. Melzian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the coastal human population increases in the United States, there will likely be increasing environmental and socioeconomic pressures on our coastal and estuarine environments. Monitoring the condition of all our nation's coastal and estuarine ecosystems over the long term is more than any one program can accomplish on its own. Therefore, it is crucial that monitoring programs at all levels (local, state, and federal) cooperate in the collection, sharing, and use of environmental data. This volume is the proceedings of the Coastal Monitoring Through Partnerships symposium that was held in Pensacola, Florida in April of 2001, and was organized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP), and the Council of State Governments (CSG). It contains papers that describe various multi-disciplinary coastal and estuarine environmental monitoring programs, designed and implemented by using regional and national partnerships with federal and state agencies, academia, Native American tribes, and nongovernmental organizations. In addition, it includes papers on modeling and data management; monitoring and assessment of benthic communities; development of biological indicators and interlaboratory sediment comparisons; microbiological modeling and indicators; and monitoring and assessment of phytoplankton and submerged aquatic vegetation. There are many components involved in determining the overall impacts of anthropogenic stressors on coastal and estuarine waters. It will take strong partnerships like those described in this volume to ensure that we have healthy and sustainable coastal and estuarine environments, now and in the future.

Book Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos

Download or read book Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos written by Anastasios Eleftheriou and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuing global decline of the health of the sea, and the increasing depletion of marine resources and biodiversity, caused by human activity and climate change, have led to ever-increasing international concern. These changes in the marine environment highlight the importance of effective monitoring of the ecology of the benthos which has been shown to be a sensitive index of such alterations. Completely revised and updated to include many new methods and technologies, this Fourth Edition of Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos provides comprehensive coverage on the tools and techniques available to those working in the area. Commencing with an overview of the design and analysis of benthic surveys, the book continues with chapters covering the sedimentary environment, imaging and diving techniques, macro- and meiofauna techniques, deep sea sampling, energy flow and production. An additional new chapter provided in this edition covers phytobenthos techniques. Written by many of the world’s leading authorities in marine sampling techniques and use, and edited by Professor Anastasios Eleftheriou, this comprehensive Fourth Edition is an essential tool for all marine and environmental scientists, ecologists, fisheries workers and oceanographers. Libraries in all research establishments and universities where these subjects are studied and taught will find this book to be a hugely valuable addition to their collections.

Book Reef Fish Biodiversity in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

Download or read book Reef Fish Biodiversity in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary written by Megan Hepner and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on my findings and literature review, to better preserve biodiversity and enhance ecosystem functioning, I recommend prioritizing conservation efforts in source habitats (e.g., High Relief Reefs) and habitats with varying complexity by implementing corridor reserves that facilitate the natural migration of organisms between different habitat types. I also recommend prioritizing preservation of species that possess functionally rare traits with few individuals (e.g., cleaner species) by preserving areas with greater functional diversity (e.g., Higher Relief Reefs and Forereef Deep Linear Reefs).

Book Length frequency Distributions of Recreationally Caught Reef Fishes from Panama City Florida in 1978 and 1979

Download or read book Length frequency Distributions of Recreationally Caught Reef Fishes from Panama City Florida in 1978 and 1979 written by Carl H. Saloman and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service laboratory in Panama City, Florida has been engaged in life history research on recreationally and commercially important species of fishes from the Gulf of Mexico and southeast coast of the United States since 1977. A unique opportunity to sample fishes caught from charter and headboats was available by cooperating with the staff of Captain Anderson's fish house in Panama City. During 1978 and 1979, numerous lengths were measured of reef species caught within fifty miles of Panama City and landed at the fish house. Gonads, stomachs, and aging structures for other aspects of our research were collected at the same time. Circulation of the draft fishery management plan for reef fishes by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council in 1979 called attention to the lack of data on reef species from the Gulf of Mexico. This technical report makes available our length frequency information for 1978 and 1979"--Introduction.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document provides the background behind and descriptions of the protocols developed for a collaborative, multi-agency effort to monitor reef fish populations in the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas. Agencies involved include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Southeast Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (UM-RSMAS), and the National Park Service (NPS). This collaborative effort is the culmination of nearly three decades of independent Florida Keys monitoring programs aimed at fish populations in the region"--Executive summary.

Book Fishery independent Monitoring of Coral Reef Fishes and Macro invertebrates in the Dry Tortugas

Download or read book Fishery independent Monitoring of Coral Reef Fishes and Macro invertebrates in the Dry Tortugas written by Jerald S. Ault and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This past summer a team of researchers led by Jerry Ault, University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (UM/RSMAS), surveyed reef fish populations in an area covering nearly 450 square nautical miles in the Dry Tortugas region of the Florida Keys. The Tortugas region contains: the Tortugas Ecological Reserve-North (Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary); the adjacent southern section of the Tortugas Bank that remains open to commercial and recreational fishing (Bank fishable); and, Dry Tortugas National Park, where commercial fishing has been banned since 1960. The Tortugas Ecological Reserve (Bank MPA -- marine protected area), which covers over 150 square nautical miles, is the largest 'no-take' marine zone in U.S. waters. In addition to UM/RSMAS, the team included scientists from NOAA Fisheries, National Park Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, NOVA Southeastern University, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington/National Undersea Research Center. In 20 operational days the 43-member team conducted 1,594 scientific dives for 37.5 days underwater where they mapped nine types of benthic habitats and recorded the abundance and size of about 275 fish species"--Executive summary.
