Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is an ecologically important estuarine predator and represents North Carolina's most important commercial fishery. Recent fishery-dependent and --independent data suggest the population is declining. The goal of this study was to increase our understanding of the status and population dynamics of the blue crab in NC by addressing the following objectives: (1) estimate population demographics of blue crabs in salt marsh creeks, (2) construct a discontinuous model of blue crab growth in NC using growth rates estimated from free-ranging blue crabs, and (3) provide a comprehensive stock assessment for the blue crab in NC. A series of complimentary laboratory and field studies assessed the nursery role of salt marsh habitats for the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). Population demographics and movement patterns of juvenile and adult blue crabs were quantified in two tidal salt marsh creeks near Beaufort, North Carolina, USA during June -- October 2001. While there are many studies that report estimates of population density, mortality rates, or movement rates for blue crabs, this study represents one of the first attempts to estimate all quantities concurrently. Juvenile crabs were mobile within the interstices of the vegetated marsh surface during flood tide, and were equally distributed buried in intertidal marsh and adjacent mud areas during ebb tide. Juvenile crabs may experience a spatial refuge from cannibalism in the marsh surface since adult conspecifics are physically impeded by dense vegetation and rarely move far into marsh habitats. This spatial refuge in the vegetated marsh surface may be significant, since cannibalism represents a large source of mortality for this species. The relatively high use of the marsh surface by juvenile blue crabs, combined with a general lack of sampling these complex habitats, suggest that crab densities may be even higher in salt marsh systems than previously thought.

Book excerpt: Written by an outstanding group of contributors, this book examines the function and structure of coastal lagoonal ecosystems and the natural and anthropogenic drivers of change that affect them, most notably nutrient over-enrichment from coastal watersheds and airsheds. The contributors target the susceptibility of coastal lagoons to eutrophication, the indicators of eutrophic conditions, the influences of natural factors such as major storms and other climate effects, and the resulting biotic and ecosystem impairments that have developed. The book compares biogeochemical and ecological response to nutrient enrichment and other pollutants in lagoonal estuaries to those in other estuarine types.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Catches of paralichthid flounders in North Carolina's inshore pound net, minor trawl, and recreational fisheries were sampled during August 1976 through June 1977. Data were compiled on species composition, length composition, size composition by sex, and fishing effort ... The severe cold weather of the winder of 1976-1977 sharply curtailed the length of the pound ned season and the amount of activity generated by the minor trawl and recreational fisheries."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lagoon Environments Around the World - A Scientific Perspective covers a wide range of topics. Typically bordering between land and sea, lagoons are among the most diversely utilized waterways on the planet. Lagoons are extremely important environments socio-economically, and their usage places ever increasing stress on these very sensitive aquatic regions. The effective management of shallow aquatic environments requires a detailed scientific understanding of the various contributary natural processes. This has both environmental and economic implications, especially where there is any anthropogenic involvement. This book draws on international scientific research to examine the following lagoon related issues: classification, circulation hydrodynamics, ecosystems, sedimentation, anthropogenic stresses, and response to extreme events. The research was carried out by researchers who specialize in shallow water processes and related issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM) is rapidly becoming the default approach in global fisheries management. The clarity of what EBFM means is sharpening each year and there is now a real need to evaluate progress and assess the effectiveness and impacts. By examining a suite of over 90 indicators (including socioeconomic, governance, environmental forcing, major pressures, systems ecology, and fisheries criteria) for 9 major US fishery ecosystem jurisdictions, the authors systematically track the progress the country has made towards advancing EBFM and making it an operational reality. The assessment covers a wide range of data in both time (multiple decades) and space (from the tropics to the poles, representing over 10% of the world's ocean surface area). The authors view progress towards the implementation of EBFM as synonymous with improved management of living marine resources in general, and highlight the findings from a national perspective. Although US-centric, the lessons learned are directly applicable for all parts of the global ocean. Much work remains, but significant progress has already been made to better address many of the challenges facing the sustainable management of our living marine resources. This is an essential and accessible reference for all fisheries professionals who are currently practicing, or progressing towards, ecosystem-based fisheries management. It will also be of relevance and use to researchers, teachers, managers, and graduate students in marine ecology, fisheries biology, biological oceanography, global change biology, conservation biology, and marine resource management.

This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 5, 1996, Hurricane Fran made landfall near Cape Fear, North Carolina and generated considerable rainfall, moderately high winds, and storm surge and waves along the cost. Although the storm generated high winds along the coast and well inland, severe damage to buildings was concentrated in those areas also impacted by the flood surge and waves. This report focuses on the damage along the North Carolina coast that resulted from flood surge, wave action, erosion, and scour. On September 12, 1996, the Mitigation Directorate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) deployed a Building Performance Assessment Team (BPAT) to coastal North Carolina to assess damage caused by Hurricane Fran. The mission of the BPAT was to assess the performance of buildings on the barrier islands most directly affected by Hurricane Fran and to make recommendations for improving building performance in future events. Better performance of building systems can be expected when the causes of observed failures are determined and repair and construction are undertaken in accordance with recognized standards of design and construction. The immediate goal of the BPAT process is to provide guidance to State and local governments for post-hurricane reconstruction. In addition, the BPAT's findings can enhance future coastal design and construction. The BPAT developed recommendations for reducing future hurricane damage. The recommendations address areas of concern such as building materials, design practices, construction techniques, and quality of construction. The recommendations presented in this report are applicable in other communities that experience similar coastal flooding. This report presents the BPAT's observations of the successes and failures of buildings that experienced the flood effects of Hurricane Fran, comments on building failure modes, and provides recommendations intended to enhance the performance of buildings in future hurricanes.
