THE MASTHEAD Vol THE MASTHEAD Vol. 32 No. 4 WINTER 2012‐2013 Mid‐ Atlan c Marine Educa on Associa on From the Captain’s Quarters I am pleased to address the membership for the first time in the Masthead as MAMEA President. I hope that all of our members and their loved ones are safe following Superstorm Sandy. As marine educators we understand the power of nature. I am guessing that many lessons on climate and weather followed the days off of school during the storm. Thank you to all of our members who attended the annual conference in October. The conference was very successful with 68 participants, 2 invited speakers, 15 concurrent sessions, 3 Smith Island cakes, a campfire with s’mores, and a bushel of steamed crabs. MAMEAns from all four of our traditionally defined states and the District of Columbia, as well as members from outside of our traditional region, attended the conference. All four of our registration scholarships were awarded, and the success of the auction ensures the continued funding of the scholarship program. The MAMEA Board was also pleased to expand our support of the National Ocean Science Bowl and cover the registration fees for the winning coaches from our regional bowls. Two of the three winning coaches from our regional bowls attended the annual conference. A special thanks to the Education Programs team at the National Aquarium for their support in ensuring the conference was a success. Before we know it the holidays will be here and the New Year will be upon us. Please be sure to stay tuned for the state sponsored MAMEA events that all of our State Representatives are busy planning. Also, please note that the MAMEA mid-year Board meeting will be on Saturday, April 27th in Lake Anna, VA. All members are welcome to attend. As always we are looking for new people to serve on the Board whether assisting on a Committee or exploring a position to run for this spring. Contact me if you are interested in attending or if you have and questions at [email protected]. Best wishes and an early Happy Holidays!

From what I can tell, it seems most of our region and our 2012‐2013 Officers & Commiee Chairs members fared pretty well through Hurricane Sandy. Our thoughts are with our colleagues and those most affected in President MAMEA Webkeeper New York and New Jersey. The storm further proves how Kathy Fuller Lisa Ayers Lawrence vital our work in marine education continues to be.

Each year, two grants of up to $1,000 each are available: one for formal educators in classrooms K-16; one for informal educators working at a museum, aquarium, zoo, science center, or government agency. The 2012/13 grant project was announced on October 13, at the 2012 MAMEA conference in Cambridge, Maryland. The 2012-13 Informal Education Grant was awarded to Sarah McGuire, of the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia (CBNERR- VA). Ms. McGuire is the Education Coordinator for CBNERR-VA, located at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester Point, Virginia. “The primary goal of the CBNERR General Education and Public Outreach Program is to increase awareness, understanding, appreciation, and responsible use of the Chesapeake Bay estuary. We offer informal and formal education programs for K-12 and college audiences, teacher-training workshops, and programs for the general public,” explained McGuire. She coordinates several different education programs, including many field experiences for middle school students in nearby counties. The MAMEA grant will provide support for the popular CBNERR-VA Discovery Lab series. The monthly Discovery Labs provide educational science experiences in fun, family-friendly ways. Each lab focuses on a specific Bay-related topic through a series of hands-on activities for kids and adults. Participants use microscopes, observe live animals, make crafts or play games, even examine and discuss research posters. VIMS faculty, professional staff and graduate students contribute as speakers, sharing their cutting edge research with the general public in an intimate setting. Each Lab can accommodate 100 participants and many families attend every session. One parent wrote that his three daughters look forward to attending each lab and they talk about them for weeks afterward. He reported that “Thanks to the Labs, they are learning how marine life affects people’s lives every day. And, as a result of their experiences, they are talking about becoming marine scientists.” Thanks to this MAMEA Educational Project Grant, McGuire will be provide the supplies and printed materials that support each lab, despite budget cuts A mix of information and activities attracts and informs from other sources. And, she plans to pilot expanded both youngsters and adults. Guest speakers offer cutting hours for the Labs, as well as test the potential of edge science updates. A mix of related displays and hands -on activities give learners a chance to investigate first traveling lab boxes for local schools. hand. If you have a good idea for an educational project, consider submitting a proposal for the 2013-2014 MAMEA Grant cycle.

  • A Door County Beach in Winter
    A Door County Beach inWINTER Discover the four-season beauty of a Lake Michigan beach in Door County, Wisconsin, USA Presented by Glidden Lodge Beach Resort Commentary by Carolyn Rock, Natural Resource Educator, Whitefish Dunes State Park, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin “Don’t grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.” Michelle Held All photos taken Saturday, February 4, 2012 in the midst of an unseasonably mild Door County, Wisconsin winter. Unique designs are made as water collects and deposits sand grains on its journey to the lake. This illustrates the effect of water erosion on the landscape. Ripples of the lakebed can be seen and felt. Formed by wave action, these ripples are small versions of the unique landforms found at the Ridges Sanctuary. Segments of the Niagara Escarpment can be found under and along the shoreline. Remains of the commercial fishing pier provide a protective cove for the sandy beach. Wet sand provides a great chalk board for recording tracks of animals who have visited the beach. Rippled underwater sand is accented with divots in the clear waters of Lake Michigan. Just down the beach from Glidden Lodge Beach Resort: Whitefish Dunes State Park 4 mile drive or 3.5 mile hike along the beach State Park History - A Story of Protection Like a blanket protects us from cold, a cloak of low spreading plants with their netted roots shields the dunes from drying sunlight and wind. In this harsh environment, it may take more than a thousand years to stabilize the sand and grow a forest.

  • Utilizing Beach-Cast Seaweed for Biochar Production in Gotland a Study of Energy and Carbon Balances of Algal Biochar
    Utilizing beach-cast seaweed for biochar production in Gotland A study of energy and carbon balances of algal biochar Johanna Sörbom Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI- TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:591 Division of Heat and Power Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:591 Utilizing beach-cast seaweed for biochar production in Gotland - A study of energy and carbon balances of algal biochar Johanna Sörbom Approved Examiner Supervisor Date: 2020.12.21 Jeevan Jayasuriya Jean-Baptiste Thomas Commissioner Contact person Abstract With global warming, rising environmental issues, and increased beach-cast production, climate change mitigation efforts are important for the future of the planet. Carbon dioxide removal technologies are now deemed essential to reach the Sustainable development goals and keep the temperature rise under 1.5 or 2 degrees °C. Biochar produced from beach-cast seaweed has great potential as a fuel or as a means of carbon sequestration, while also proposing a way of dealing with unwanted beach-cast at public beaches. This study compares the alternative methodologies for performing carbon- and energy balances of the production of biochar from beach-cast seaweed. The methodologies differ in the accounting of emissions and energy consumption, either only accounting for consumed energy, including energy embodied in materials, or including avoided emissions. The viability of producing biochar from beach-cast seaweed is assessed while trying to answer if the biochar is best used as a fuel or as a means of carbon sequestration. Furthermore, the effect of pyrolysis peak temperature on the pyrolysis products is assessed.

Elzy - Jimmy Carter Library TOPIC: Oral History Side One of Tape 1 MARTIN ELZY: It's about 8 p.m. in the evening at The Carter Center. I'm Martin Elzy, Assistant Director of the Jimmy Carter library. I'm interviewing Jack Carter, the oldest child of President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Mr. Carter, have you recorded other oral histories, or written any articles about which we should alert the researchers who use this interview? JACK CARTER: Not that I can remember. MARTIN ELZY: All right, fine. I should say for the record, too, that we're accompanied, in this interview, by Jack Carter's wife, Elizabeth, who is with us, and we appreciate that. Well, let me just start and get your full name on the record, and any family stories on how your name was selected. JACK CARTER: John William Carter. And my mother's grandfather was named John William Murray. So that was how my name came to be. MARTIN ELZY: And where and when were you born? JACK CARTER: July 3rd, 1947, in Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia. MARTIN ELZY: And what were your folks doing there? JACK CARTER: Dad was in the military. He was in the Navy, stationed at Norfolk. MARTIN ELZY: And then where did you go to school, K through 12? JACK CARTER: I believe I started in kindergarten up in New London – Schenectady, I believe. And then my grandfather died in 1953, and I came down to Plains and, as I recall, started the first grade in Plains in about the second or third month after they started into class.

  • Solving the Beach Wrack Problems by On-Site Treatment with Reed Beds Towards Fertilizer Amendments
    Journal of Ecological Engineering Received: 2019.07.21 Revised: 2019.07.29 Volume 20, Issue 8, September 2019, pages 252–261 Accepted: 2019.08.11 Available online: 2019.08.17 https://doi.org/10.12911/22998993/111717 Solving the Beach Wrack Problems by On-Site Treatment with Reed Beds Towards Fertilizer Amendments Alicja Kupczyk1*, Katarzyna Kołecka1, Magdalena Gajewska1 1 Department Water and Waste-Water Technology, Faculty of Civil And Environmental Engineering, Gdańsk University of Technology, Gabriela Narutowicza 11/12, 80-233 Gdańsk, Poland * Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Beach wrack is a unique issue. It is both an ecological problem for the eutrophicated reservoirs such as the Baltic Sea and the social one associated with nuisance for inhabitants and tourists visiting seaside resorts. This generates a problem for the institutions responsible for beach management (local authorities). Nowadays local authorities generally leave cleaning the beach to local companies and it is not known how the beach wrack material is utilized. According to the current trend, the nuisance of beach wrack should be turned into a resource that will bring bene- fits. In order to understand what beach wrack really is, it is necessary to establish a specific definition. The material washed out by the sea contains not only the natural substances of organic origin, but also human products: plastics, glass or metals, which in many cases forces to pre-select before using the technology. Good treatment of material the quantities of which are undefined and the occurrence is variable, constitutes a real challenge. The beach wrack processing on reed bed system, so far used mainly for the treatment of sewage sludge, seems to be a good idea.
