Government Printing Office (Gpo) and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 1990 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This technical memorandum presents trace metal data for the first four years of the National Benthic Surveillance Project, part of the NOAA's National Status and Trends Program (NS&T). It was originally produced as a project report in May 1990 and remains essentially, unchanged. It contains data for samples collected in the eight coastal states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas which are collectively referred to as the Southeast region. It has two purposes: 1) to transfer four years of elemental data for both sediments and fish liver tissue to the NS&T data base, and 2) to summarize the major findings to date, understanding that a significant amount of data analysis remains. Manuscripts will be forthcoming in the open literature on these and future results"--Foreword.

Corvino and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) is one of five regional fishery research centers of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). In 1970, the NMFS was organized as a component of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Fisheries Science Centers provide scientific information required for decisions relating to the conservation and management of fishery resources, and the protection of fishery habitats, endangered and threatened species. In 1972, the NOAA Technical Memorandum series was established and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center began the publication of research reports. The purpose of this series is timely dissemination of the results of scientific research. The series also affords the SEFSC a means of publishing research results in greater depth and detail than is normally allowed by scientific journals, which usually have stringent length restrictions. To address the difficulties of identification and location of these publications, we present the following listing of SEFSC Technical Memoranda from number 1 (1972) to number 340 (1993). They are available from their originating laboratories or from the National Technical Information Service. A directory of these sources is provided on page 2"--Introduction

Book excerpt: Today environmental problems of unprecedented magnitude confront planet earth. The sobering fact is that a whole range of human activities is affecting our global environment as profoundly as the billions of years of evolution that preceded our tenure on Earth. The pressure on vital natural resources in the developing world and elsewhere is intense, and the destruction of tropical forests, wildlife habitat, and other irreplaceable resources, is alarming. Climate change, ozone depletion, loss of genetic diversity, and marine pollution are critical global environmental concerns. Their cumulative impact threatens to destroy the planet's natural resources. The need to address this situation is urgent. More than at any previous moment in history, nature and ecological systems are in human hands, dependent on human efforts. The earth is an interconnected and interdependent global ecosystem, and change in one part of the system often causes unexpected change in other parts. Atmospheric, oceanic, wetland, terrestrial and other ecological systems have a finite capacity to absorb the environmental degradation caused by human behavior. The need for an environmentally sound, sustainable economy to ease this degradation is evident and urgent. Policies designed to stimulate economic development by foregoing pollution controls both destroy the long-term economy and ravage the environment. Over the years, we have sometimes drawn artificial distinctions between the health of individuals and the health of ecosystems. But in the real world, those distinctions do not exist.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The techniques for using otoliths for annual age determinations in fish are well established (Williams and Bedford 1974). The roughly seasonally alternating pattern of opaque material deposition during fast growth and hyaline material deposition during slow growth, allows researchers to assign an annual age to the fish. pannella (1971, 1974) discovered finer increments in the otoliths and suggested they represented the daily growth. Brothers et ale (1976) later confirmed the daily periodicity of the increments and using SEM showed that these increments were the smallest cyclical units found in the otolith of Engraulismordax. These increments are composed of incremental and discontinuous units. The discontinuous unit is relatively less calcified and is mostly composed of the protein otolin while the incremental unit is mostly composed of aragonite (Campana and Neilson 1985)"--Introduction, paragraph 1.
