Download or read book Defining and Assessing Adverse Environmental Impact from Power Plant Impingement and Entrainment of Aquatic Organisms written by Douglas Dixon and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Clean Water Act calls for the minimization of "adverse environmental impact" at cooling water intake structures. To facilitate an exchange of information among all stakeholders in the issue, the Electric Power Research Institute organised a national symposium in 2001 to discuss the meaning of adverse environmental impact and methods for its assessment. Technical experts in federal and state resource agencies, academia, industry and non-governmental organizations attended the symposium. This is a collection of peer-reviewed papers, intended both to inform and to encourage the development of rules regarding the minimization of adverse environmental impact at cooling water intake structures.

Download or read book Seashore Life of Southern California written by Sam Hinton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dry land is one world and the wet sea is another, but the line separating them is ever-changing. Known as the intertidal zone, the area between the land and the sea is defined by the extremes of the tides. Sam Hinton provides an introduction to this fascinating zone and its contiguous waters and to some of the many creatures who make the southern California seacoast their home. This highly readable book has been for many years the handiest resource available for anyone wanting to explore that region's delights and mysteries. The book is filled with interesting anecdotes and drawings and has a thorough discussion of the natural forces ̄the tides, winds, storms, currents, surf, and ocean chemistry ̄that affect near-shore animals. Also included is a section relating the ocean forces to the intertidal habitat, along with a map of southern California locations where one might observe the organisms described in the book.

Download or read book Biological Characteristics of Nearshore Fishes of California written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the recent Marine Life Management Act, the California Department of Fish and Game is required to produce a Fishery Management Plan for the nearshore region as described in the Nearshore Fisheries Management Act. This requires the compilation of a species list that includes the species of fishes for which size limits are prescribed in the Act and other vulnerable species, and a detailed analysis of existing knowledge of the life history (age, growth, age at maturity, age composition, habitat utilization, reproduction, recruitment, trophic relationships, population health, and stock structure, including genetics) of nearshore fish species, especially those subject to the newly developing live fish (premium) fishery. During this project, we compiled a list of species currently taken in the nearshore fishery and others that could be particularly vulnerable (n=124). In addition, we created a life history parameter questionnaire to guide our literature search and compilation of life history parameters, surveyed the existing literature, constructed a life history database of the nearshore fish species list, and compiled a literature cited document. General gaps in the existing knowledge are identified, and specific research projects are proposed on such subjects as age at maturity, age validation, reproduction, trophic interactions, genetic variance, and mobility of fish stocks subject to the nearshore fisheries of California. It is hoped that this project will result in additional support to answer questions that will provide management agencies with sufficient information to effectively manage this fishery.
