This collection of transportation information from BTS, other federal government agencies, and other national sources provides a picture of the state’s infrastructure, freight movement and passenger travel, safety, vehicles, economy and finance, and energy and environment. All tables do not necessarily appear in every state profile report due to geographic and other characteristics. For example, border-crossing data are given only for states bordering Canada and Mexico. Data source and accuracy profiles are provided at the end of the report. vi Table of Contents A Infrastructure TABLES PAGE Hawaii Public Road Length, Miles by Functional System: 1995-2000.....................

The Territorial Clause of the Constitution authorizes the Congress to “make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property” of the United States.2 Relying on the Territorial Clause, the Congress has enacted legislation making some provisions of the Constitution explicitly applicable in the insular areas. In addition to this congressional action, courts from time to time have ruled on the application of constitutional provisions to one or more of the insular areas. You asked us to update our 1991 report to you on the applicability of provisions of the Constitution to five insular areas: Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (the CNMI), American Samoa, and Guam. You asked specifically about significant judicial and legislative developments concerning the political or tax status of these areas, as well as court decisions since our earlier report involving the applicability of constitutional provisions to these areas. We have included this information in appendix I. 1As we did in our 1991 report on this issue, Applicability of Relevant Provisions of the U.S.

  • Navassa Island the State of Coral Reef Ecosystems of Navassa Island Margaret W
    The State of Coral Reef Ecosystems of Navassa Island The State of Coral Reef Ecosystems of Navassa Island Margaret W. Miller1, A. Gleason2, D. McClellan1 , G. Piniak4, D. Williams1,2, J.W. Wiener6, A. Gude3, J. Schwagerl5 INTRODUCTION AND SETTING Navassa is a small (4.64 km2), uninhabited, oceanic island approximately 50 km off the southwest tip of Haiti (Figure 4.1) under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The island is a raised dolomite plateau ringed by vertical cliffs that descend to a sloping submarine terrace at an approximate depth of 25 m, with coral reef development primarily on small nearshore ledges and shelves. Navassa’s oceanic position in the Windward Passage exposes it to substantial physical energy, with the eastern coastline exposed to persistent swells and regular storms and hurricanes. Both geo- morphology and exposure have resulted in an absence of shallow-water inshore fish nursery habitats (e.g., mangroves, sandy beaches and seagrasses) that are found on other islands in the region. The local and regional oceanography around Navassa is poorly characterized, but detailed geology is provided in Miller et al. (in press). Island Navassa Status of reef resources and threats have been documented by Miller and Gerstner (2002), Miller (2003) and Miller et al. (2005) from data collected during expeditions in 2000 and 2002. These assessments reported relatively healthy coral conditions and reef fish assemblages which, though dominated by small planktivores, still compared favorably with other Caribbean locations. Substantial fishing activity by transient Haitians was also reported. 75°W Northwest Point North Shelf Conch North Northeast Point West Pinnacles Video Patch L N N ' u ' 4 4 2 l 2 ° ° 8 u 8 1 1 S h e East l f Point Lulu Bay Land Water <30 m South Point Deep Water " 0 0.25 0.5 km 75°W Figure 4.1.
