Download or read book Report of the Investigation of Oyster Properties of the State by the Board of Equalization written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Investigation of Oyster Properties of the State by the Board of Equalization: As a Special Commission Appointed by the General Assembly of 1909, Special Law 486 Connecticut was the first State to grant vested rights in oyster ground and the unrestricted enjoyment thereof. The growth of her industry justifies the policy pursued. Legislation which assured this policy was slow and not always attended with good feeling. In 1842 it became lawful thereafter for the owner or owners of any land in this State, wherein there may be salt water, creeks, or inlets, to dam, gate, or lock the said creek or inlet, for his or their use, for an oyster pond for the growing of oysters therein. But this privilege might only be obtained under conditions which rendered it almost certain to prevent any person from enjoying a benefit from the provisions of the law.

Book Aw Shucks  an Archaeological Investigation of a Possible Oyster Fishing Vessel in Washington  North Carolina

Download or read book Aw Shucks an Archaeological Investigation of a Possible Oyster Fishing Vessel in Washington North Carolina written by Patrick Boyle and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oysters were a significant food source for Native Americans and settlers of North Carolina. In the mid-19th century, local markets for oysters developed around coastal cities such as Wilmington, New Bern, and Washington. The absence of a fast and reliable means of transporting the harvest to inland cities, however, precluded a larger industry from being established. Yet, in the late 1880s the North Carolina oyster fishery experienced a sharp rise in activity. Diminishing oyster populations and stricter fishing laws in the Chesapeake Bay region led its oyster fishers to search for new areas to harvest. Distinct vessel types from the Chesapeake Bay area soon flooded the estuaries of North Carolina. Many of those vessel types, including sharpies, bugeyes, and skipjacks, were designed for oystering activities. Recent archaeological investigations of a sunken sailing vessel embedded on the southern side of the Pamlico River near Washington, North Carolina suggest an association with oyster fishing. Known locally as the Centerboard Wreck, the remains of the vessel exhibit construction features and an artifact assemblage that are consistent with the oyster industry. This thesis aims to investigate the historical background of oystering in North Carolina and particularly the development of the Pamlico trade, attempt to determine a vessel type for the Centerboard Wreck, and to understand its possible employment in the fishery and ultimate deposition within the vicinity of Washington, North Carolina.

Book The Tragedy of the Commodity

Download or read book The Tragedy of the Commodity written by Stefano B. Longo and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2017 Paul Sweezy Marxist Sociology Book Award from the American Sociological Association Although humans have long depended on oceans and aquatic ecosystems for sustenance and trade, only recently has human influence on these resources dramatically increased, transforming and undermining oceanic environments throughout the world. Marine ecosystems are in a crisis that is global in scope, rapid in pace, and colossal in scale. In The Tragedy of the Commodity, sociologists Stefano B. Longo, Rebecca Clausen, and Brett Clark explore the role human influence plays in this crisis, highlighting the social and economic forces that are at the heart of this looming ecological problem. In a critique of the classic theory “the tragedy of the commons” by ecologist Garrett Hardin, the authors move beyond simplistic explanations—such as unrestrained self-interest or population growth—to argue that it is the commodification of aquatic resources that leads to the depletion of fisheries and the development of environmentally suspect means of aquaculture. To illustrate this argument, the book features two fascinating case studies—the thousand-year history of the bluefin tuna fishery in the Mediterranean and the massive Pacific salmon fishery. Longo, Clausen, and Clark describe how new fishing technologies, transformations in ships and storage capacities, and the expansion of seafood markets combined to alter radically and permanently these crucial ecosystems. In doing so, the authors underscore how the particular organization of social production contributes to ecological degradation and an increase in the pressures placed upon the ocean. The authors highlight the historical, political, economic, and cultural forces that shape how we interact with the larger biophysical world. A path-breaking analysis of overfishing, The Tragedy of the Commodity yields insight into issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change.

Book Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations Near Nuclear Facilities

Download or read book Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations Near Nuclear Facilities written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1980s, the National Cancer Institute initiated an investigation of cancer risks in populations near 52 commercial nuclear power plants and 10 Department of Energy nuclear facilities (including research and nuclear weapons production facilities and one reprocessing plant) in the United States. The results of the NCI investigation were used a primary resource for communicating with the public about the cancer risks near the nuclear facilities. However, this study is now over 20 years old. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the National Academy of Sciences provide an updated assessment of cancer risks in populations near USNRC-licensed nuclear facilities that utilize or process uranium for the production of electricity. Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 1 focuses on identifying scientifically sound approaches for carrying out an assessment of cancer risks associated with living near a nuclear facility, judgments about the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical power, ability to assess potential confounding factors, possible biases, and required effort. The results from this Phase 1 study will be used to inform the design of cancer risk assessment, which will be carried out in Phase 2. This report is beneficial for the general public, communities near nuclear facilities, stakeholders, healthcare providers, policy makers, state and local officials, community leaders, and the media.
