  • Can the Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotopes of the Pygmy Mussel, Xenostrobus Securis, Indicate Catchment Disturbance for Estuari
    Estuaries Vol. 28, No. 5, p. 714–725 October 2005 Can the Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotopes of the Pygmy Mussel, Xenostrobus securis, Indicate Catchment Disturbance for Estuaries in Northern New South Wales, Australia? STEPHANIE K. MOORE* and IAIN M. SUTHERS Fisheries and Marine Environmental Research Laboratory, School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia ABSTRACT: The nitrogen and carbon stable isotope ratios (d15N and d13C) of the pygmy mussel, Xenostrobus securis, were determined for three estuaries with varying levels of catchment disturbance in northern New South Wales, Australia. The lower Manning River catchment supported the highest human population densities and 3% residential development with some livestock agriculture (41%); the Wallamba River catchment was mostly livestock agriculture (56%) while the Wallingat River catchment was mostly vegetated (79%). Mussels, estuarine particulate organic matter (POM), and livestock and human- derived waste were collected in two stages during the austral summers of 2001–2002 and 2002–2003 for dual carbon-nitrogen stable isotope analysis. The disturbed Manning and Wallamba River catchment mussels were enriched in 15N by an average of 3.2% and 1.5%, respectively, compared to the vegetated Wallingat River mussels. Mussel d13C values ranged from 224.8% to 230.3% and showed an estuarine gradient becoming enriched with distance downstream within estuaries, but were unable to distinguish patterns in catchment disturbance between estuaries. The d15N and d13C values of POM showed a similar pattern to mussels, indicating a direct link between them within each estuary. A multiple regression model of mussel d15N using the fractions of land used for livestock agriculture and residential development within 5 km zones from river networks to a distance equivalent to a tidal ellipse from sites explained 67% of the variation in mussel d15N with 95% of the differences lying within 1.6% of observed values.

  • It's Jerry's Birthday Chatham County Line
    K k JULY 2014 VOL. 26 #7 H WOWHALL.ORG KWOW HALL NOTESK g k IT’S JERRY’S BIRTHDAY On Friday, August 1, KLCC and Dead Air present an evening to celebrate Jerry Garcia featuring two full sets by the Garcia Birthday Band. Jerry Garcia, famed lead guitarist, songwriter and singer for The Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band, among others, was born on August 1, 1941 in San Francisco, CA. Dead.net has this to say: “As lead guitarist in a rock environment, Jerry Garcia naturally got a lot of attention. But it was his warm, charismatic personality that earned him the affection of millions of Dead Heads. He picked up the guitar at the age of 15, played a little ‘50s rock and roll, then moved into the folk acoustic guitar era before becoming a bluegrass banjo player. Impressed by The Beatles and Stones, he and his friends formed a rock band called the Warlocks in late 1964 and debuted in 1965. As the band evolved from being blues-oriented to psychedelic/experi- mental to adding country and folk influences, his guitar stayed out front. His songwriting partnership with Robert Hunter led to many of the band’s most memorable songs, including “Dark Star”, “Uncle John’s Band” and the group’s only Top 10 hit, “Touch of Grey”. Over the years he was married three times and fathered four daughters. He died of a heart attack CHATHAM COUNTY LINE in 1995.” On Sunday, July 27, the Community Tightrope also marks a return to Sound Fans have kept the spirit of Jerry Garcia alive in their hearts, and have spread the spirit Center for the Performing Arts proudly wel- Pure Studios in Durham, NC, where the and the music to new generations.

    Koala Strategy Submissions, PO Box A290, Sydney South NSW 1232, [email protected] CC. [email protected] 2nd March 2017. NPA SUBMISSION: WHOLE OF GOVERNMENT KOALA STRATEGY; SAVING OUR SPECIES DRAFT STRATEGY AND REVIEW OF STATE ENVIRONMENT PLANNING POLICY 44—KOALA HABITAT PROTECTION Introduction The National Parks Association of NSW (NPA), established in 1957, is a community-based organisation with over 20,000 supporters from rural, remote and urban areas across the state. NPA promotes nature conservation and evidence- based natural resource management. We have a particular interest in the protection of the State’s biodiversity and supporting ecological processes, both within and outside of the formal conservation reserve system. NPA has a long history of engagement with both government and non-government organisations on issues of park management. NPA appreciates the opportunity to comment on the whole of government koala strategy (the strategy), the Saving Our Species iconic koala project (the SOS project) and the Explanation of intended effect: State Environment and Planning Policy 44 (Koala Habitat Protection) (SEPP 44). Please note, NPA made a submission on SEPP 44 in late 2016 prior to the deadline being extended which we have reattached at the end of this document (Appendix 1). NPA was also consulted on the SOS programme in August 2016, which we greatly appreciated. We provided OEH with feedback on the programme at that time, which also contained an exploration of issues facing koalas, which we have reattached in Appendix 2. NPA has had significant input to the development of the Stand Up For Nature (SUFN) submission to this consultation.
