  • Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries
    A/MA. a/os NOAA's Estuarine Living Marine Resources Program Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries May 1 994 U.S. Department of Commerce QL. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Ocean Service NOAA's Estuarine Living Marine Resources Program The Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment (ORCA) was created in response to the need for comprehensive information on the effects of human activities on the nation's coastal ocean. The SEA Division performs assessments of the estuarine and coastal environments and of the resources of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). In June 1 985, NOAA began a program to develop a comprehensive information base on the life history, relative abundance and distribution of fishes and invertebrates in estuaries throughout the nation (Monaco 1986). The Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) program has been conducted jointly by the SEA Division, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and other agencies and institutions. The nationwide ELMR data base was completed in January 1 994, and includes data for 1 35 species found in 1 22 estuaries and coastal embayments. Eight reports and reprints are now available free upon request, and another is scheduled for completion in 1 994 (see below). This report, Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries, summarizes information on the distribution and abundance of 58 fish and invertebrate species in 1 7 North Atlantic estuaries. A national report summarizing the data and results from the program will be published in 1 995.

NARRATIVE REPORT COASTAL MAINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Jan. - Dec. 1966 General On July 26, 1966 the MBCC authorized the acquisition of the three southern-most units of the Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge, specifically the Lower Wells Marsh, the Moody Beach Marsh, and the Brave Boat Harbor Marsh. The refuge was officially established on December 16, 1966 when the first land tract totaling l6 acres on the Lower Wells unit was acquired by the Government. The ultimate acreage to be acquired with duck stamp monies will form a National Wildlife Refuge of approximately 4,308 acres. Since no data was taken for this period, no weather information, wildlife population figures, or narrative report forms will be included in this report. However, an initial section on history, not ordinarily included in a narrative report, will be presented. The Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge, lying along the south­ ern coast of Maine will consist of ten units. All are located be­ tween Kittery Point and Portland, Maine along the Atlantic coast east of U.S. Route 1. The southern-most unit is 35 miles north of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and the northern-most unit is 235 miles southwest of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge.

  • Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 5 1989 Morphodynamics of Tidal Inlet Systems in Maine 1 2 Duncan M. FitzGeraui, Jonathan M. Lincoln • 3 1 L. Kenneth Fink, Jr. , and Dabney W. Caldwel/ 1Departm ent of Geology Boston University Boston, Massachusetts 02215 2Department of Geological Sciencies Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois 60201 3Department of Geology University of Maine Orono, Maine 04469 ABSTRACT The occurrence of tidal inlets along the coast of Maine is tied closely to the structural geology and glacial history of this region. Most of the inlets are found along the southern arcuate-embayment shoreline where sand sources, consisting of glaciomarine sediments and other glacial deposits, were sufficient to build swash-aligned barriers between pronounced bedrock headlands. Along the peninsula coast of Maine, tidal inlets also occur at the mouths of the Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers where large quantities of glaciofluvial sands were deposited during deglacia­ tion. The remainder of the southeastward facing coast was stripped of its preglacial sediment cover by the southerly moving glaciers. The thin tills that were left behind yield little sand and, thus, barriers and inlets are generally absent. Small to large-sized inlets (width= 50-200 m) in Maine are anchored next to bedrock outcrops and are bordered on their opposite sides by sandy spits. Despite the ubiquitous name "river inlet," they normally have little fresh water discharge compared to their salt water tidal prisms. The backbarriers of these inlets are expansive and would produce relatively large tidal prisms if high Spartina marshes had not filled most of the region, leaving little open water area.
