Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What emerged from these efforts was a hybrid environment, where the distinctions between irrigated farms and wildlife refuges blurred. Management of the refuges was fraught with conflicting priorities and practices. Farmers and refuge managers harassed birds with shotguns and Hares to keep them off private lands, and government pilots took to the air, dropping hand grenades among flocks of geese and herding the startled birds into nearby refuges. Such actions masked the growing connections between refuges and the land around them. --

Download or read book Fish in Waterfowl Habitat Managing National Wildlife Refuges for Multiple Purposes Using Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge as a Model written by Allison Stewart Mulligan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anadromous river herring (including Blueback Herring Alosa aestivalis and Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus) spend most of their lives at sea but migrate to freshwater systems during the spring to spawn. The spawning success of the two species is impacted by barriers to upstream spawning sites as well as nursery habitat quality. At Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR), the effectiveness of side-opening versus top-hinged gates in low-head water control structures in Lake Mattamuskeet for diadromous fish passage is unknown. Additionally, water control structure design and the focus of refuge resource management on waterfowl habitat has potentially limited fishing opportunities and/or fishery habitat, creating feelings of mismanagement among the public based on anecdotal information collected. The MNWR founding documents leave much of the exact natural resource management requirements open to interpretation, although historical and current refuge management have focused resources and staffing to provide optimal habitat for migratory birds, especially wintering waterfowl. Results of a textual analysis of MNWR and four nearby National Wildlife Refuge founding documents and Comprehensive Conservation Plans (CCPs, a more-updated guiding document currently used by the refuges) indicated that none of the subsampled NWRs had close associations between the founding documents and the Comprehensive Conservation Plans. This suggests that NWRs in coastal North Carolina are not being managed in accordance with founding documents. For fish management and passage at MNWR, I compared two flapgate designs: a new side-opening gate and the existing top-hinged design. The side-opening gate passed significantly more fish of all species and significantly more Alewife compared to the top-hinged flapgate design. The spawning run for adult Alewife through Waupoppin Canal into Lake Mattamuskeet is still present but small. Four push net surveys designed to determine Alewife spawning success within Lake Mattamuskeet showed that Alewife spawning occurs in lake habitats but none of the surveys indicated that juvenile Alewife were abundant in lake habitats.

Download or read book The North Carolina Birding Trail written by North Carolina Birding Trail and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina harbors an incredible diversity of habitats that provide food and shelter for more than 440 bird species throughout the year, making the state a destination for birders and nature lovers. The North Carolina Birding Trail is a driving trail linking birders and tourists with great birding sites across the state and the local communities in which they are found. The third of three regional guides, the Mountain Trail Guide presents 105 premier birding destinations in the North Carolina mountains, from the Tennessee border in the west to Interstate 77 in the east. The spiral-bound volume features maps, detailed site descriptions, and color photographs throughout. Each site description includes directions as well as information on access, focal species and habitats, and on-site visitor amenities. Special "while you're in the area" listings accompany each of eighteen site groupings, so visitors can travel to a cluster of birding destinations and enjoy other local highlights and attractions along the way.
Download or read book The Outer Banks of North Carolina 1584 1958 written by David Stick and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Outer Banks have long been of interest to geologists, historians, linguists, sportsmen, and beachcombers. This long series of low, narrow, sandy islands stretches along the North Carolina coast for more than 175 miles. Here on Roanoke Island in the 1580s, the first English colony in the New World was established. It vanished soon after, becoming the famous "lost colony." At Ocracoke, in 1718, the pirate Blackbeard was killed; at Hatteras Inlet and Roanoke Island important Civil War battles were fought; at Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills the Wright brothers experimented with gliders and in 1903 made their epic flight. The Graveyard of the Atlantic, scene of countless shipwrecks, lies all along the ever-shifting shores of the Banks. This is the fascinating story of the Banks and the Bankers; of whalers, stockmen, lifesavers, wreckers, boatmen, and fishermen; of the constantly changing inlets famous for channel bass fishing; and of the once thriving Diamond City that disappeared completely in a three-year period.
