When its Founder, Chris Percy, and I sat down in the early 1990s to discuss the idea of his organization joining forces with QLF,never did we dream that it would grow to what it has become today. The four Sounds Conservancy endowment funds now total collectively $1 million and of that, a small percent- age is disbursed in annual installments through The Sounds Conservancy Grants Program. On an average, the program provides 40 grants each year. Now, there are hundreds of budding young marine scientists, educators, policy specialists, and environmental journalists who have been helped along in their career quest. One of the earliest grantees, Helen Hays, is in her 42nd year working to conserve the Common Tern and Roseate Tern nesting on Great Gull Island off the Connecticut coast. After four decades, Helen’s work is the definition of longitudinal research. She spends her “off island” months on the staff at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Helen has lately been using Sounds Conservancy support to develop wildlife stewardship exchanges—in Argentina and Brazil—between North and South America, the tern migration route. The Sounds Conservancy Program, like others at QLF,is connecting conservationists in our home region with those in regions far distant. I want to thank all those who have helped us along the way to keep Chris Percy’s dream alive. Through indi- vidual assistance, family foundations, corporate support, and program sponsorships, The Sounds Conservancy continues to expand its efforts. Each November, former Directors of The Sounds Conservancy meet to learn the latest news about the program’s accomplishments. Any organization would be fortunate to have had such dedicated leadership. I suspect Chris knew that these men and women would continue their personal involvement long after QLF took over the man- agement of The Sounds Conservancy. And they certainly have. I acknowledge them here: Mr. W.Campbell Hudson Mr. Chester W.Kitchings, Jr. Mr. Kenneth O. Kitchings Dr. G. C. Matthiessen Ms. Penelope C. Sharp 2 Mr. Prentice K. Stout At this 50th Anniversary of the Quebec-Labrador Foundation and as part of The Half Century Campaign, I am pleased to announce the establishment of The Christopher Percy Fund for Marine Conservation, a fitting living memorial to the commitment and vision of the Founder of the Sounds Conservancy, who died in 2002. Congratulations to all for an important reference for all those interested in the health and future of the Sounds and in coastal and marine conservation. Larry Morris President 1995–2009 15TH ANNIVERSARY The Sounds Conservancy | QUEBEC-LABRADOR FOUNDATION 99130_QLF TSC_81.qxp:Layout 1 4/22/10 8:19 AM Page 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THIS PUBLICATION HONORS THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOUNDS CONSERVANCY with the Quebec- Labrador Foundation. The publication notes the research and accomplishments of Sounds Conservancy grantees over the last fifteen years, and is organized by subject representing their work: Rivers and Watersheds; Bays and Estuaries; Coastal Marshes; Intertidal Zone; Subtidal Zone; Education; and Marine Legislation. The Sounds Conservancy is a natural fit for QLF as it complements our historic work in community-based conservation. QLF believes that individuals make a difference and that is why we invest in our Alumni in our home region (New England and Atlantic Canada) and beyond. In this publication, you will read of the accomplishments of hundreds of grantees — now Alumni of the program. Each is making a difference in marine conservation, research, and education. ••• This publication represents the collective effort and commitment by QLF staff and Interns, and by funders of The Sounds Conservancy. I wish to acknowledge Henry Hatch and Tim Marshall for their thorough research and writing of this publication. A special thanks and acknowledgment to Henry Hatch for his tireless efforts to shepherd this project to its completion. We were fortunate to have Henry work with QLF over the past few summers. I appreciate his commitment to the program and his commitment to document 15 years of marine conservation, research, and education along the Sounds. I extend my gratitude to Adrianne Brand and Constance de Brun who as former QLF Interns wrote a publication to note the first five years of The Sounds Conservancy with the Quebec-Labrador Foundation. Their writing is incorporated in this pub- lication. A special recognition of Agnes Simon for her work as Editor of this publication. I am greatly appreciative of Agi Simon who succeeded in this task with grace and integrity. And with great appreciation to the publication’s Photography Editors, Chris O’Book, Kevin Porter, and Agi Simon for identifying and selecting the photographs and illustrations for the publication. A special thanks to Candace Cochrane, QLF Photographer and Senior Advisor, Culture and Heritage Programs, for her photographs of travels along the Sounds to document the program’s geography and research. With great appreciation and thanks to Greig Cranna, QLF’s Photojournalist and ornithologist, who has spent the better part of two decades documenting the work of Helen Hays of the American Museum of Natural History tracking Common and Roseate Terns on Great Gull Island off the coast of Niantic Connecticut, and Punta Rasa, Argentina. Greig Cranna’s photographs of Great Gull Island and Punta Rasa are in this publication. With thanks to Kevin Porter, QLF Webmaster, for his design of The Sounds Conservancy pages on the QLF website, and Stephen Engle, QLF Director of Community and GIS Mapping, who has mapped the work of each Sounds Conservancy grantee over the past 15 years on www.QLF.org 3 And with continued appreciation to Debbie Hird for her gifted, artistic vision and graphic design so apparent in all the work she does for QLF. And with thanks to our printer, RAM Printing (New Hampshire), one of the first in New England to purchase Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper and print products that contribute to the conservation and responsible manage- ment of forests. And finally, I am deeply grateful to the funders of this publication who share our belief in the intrinsic value of the archival docu- mentation of marine conservation, research, and environmental education along the Sounds. This publication is made possible with the generous support of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Chester Kitchings Family Foundation, and the donors of The Sounds Conservancy. None of this would be possible without you. With heartfelt appreciation to one and all, Elizabeth Alling Executive Vice President 1995–2009 15TH ANNIVERSARY The Sounds Conservancy | QUEBEC-LABRADOR FOUNDATION 99130_QLF TSC_81.qxp:Layout 1 4/22/10 8:19 AM Page 4 THE SOUNDS CONSERVANCY THE SOUNDS CONSERVANCY was founded by Chris Percy in 1984. An ardent environmentalist, Chris Percy was committed to the conservation of the estuaries and coastal waters of the six Sounds of southern New England and New York (from Long Island Sound to Nantucket Sound); and the protection of its marine ecosystems. Upon Chris Percy’s retirement in 1995, QLF assumed the assets of The Sounds Conservancy. At the time he remarked, “QLF is a natural fit for us. What we’ve done will continue to grow and prosper.” Chris Percy died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2002. In his honor, QLF remains steadfast in continuing Chris Percy’s vision, commitment, and dedication to the Chris Percy conservation and protection of the Sounds. To this end, The Sounds Conservancy directs a small grants program to fund marine research, advocacy, conservation, and education.

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

  • Coastal Resources Element 2.2
    Coastal Resources Element 2.2 Inventory The Coastal Resources inventory identifies and summarizes a variety of Falmouth’s beaches, coastal banks, shellfish beds, commercial waterfronts, harbors, access points and coastal facilities. Detailed and specific coastal resource information, such as the Shellfish Management Plan and The Future of Falmouth’s South Shore, are found in various Town Hall departments. Shellfish Beds & Habitat Areas The majority of Falmouth’s tidal ponds and rivers are seasonally approved for the harvest of shellfish from November thru April on an annual basis, with each water-body having various quantities of quality shellfish habitat. Areas open for year-round harvest vary from year to year and are more limited in scope, but typically consist of locations in Waquoit Bay, Bournes Pond, Little Harbor (Woods Hole), Great Harbor (Woods Hole), Quissett Harbor and Megansett Harbor. Shellfish resource habitat maps highlight these water-bodies and are available at the Town of Falmouth Shellfish Department and the Conservation Commission office. The significant shellfish habitat areas are as follows: The Megansett Harbor area (1,049 acres) has significant populations of seeded quahogs, clams and oysters as well as occasional populations of bay scallops. West Falmouth Harbor (201 acres) is a significant resource for quahogs, soft-shell clams, oysters and scallops. The scallop population has been recently improved due to a local scallop program executed by the Shellfish Constable. Great Sippewissett Marsh (29 acres) has pockets of clams and quahogs, but has been experiencing degradation in water quality from runoff and septic systems, which has led to a prohibition on shellfishing.
