Heritage landscapes are those places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced the land use in a community; and heritage landscapes often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps toward their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

  • USPS Admin. Appeal
    August 4, 2020 BY EMAIL: [email protected] General Counsel United States Postal Service 475 L’Enfant Plaza, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20260 Re: Appeal of FOIA Request No. 2020-FPRO-01322 Dear General Counsel: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) hereby appeals the initial determination by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) on a portion of CREW’s request under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) for records concerning voting by mail in the upcoming presidential election and the replacement of the Postmaster General. As set forth below, the USPS failed to conduct a search reasonably designed to uncover all responsive documents, as evidenced by the limited number of responsive records USPS claims to have uncovered. Further, the USPS improperly relied on FOIA Exemption 5 to withhold nearly the entire contents of the disclosed records. On June 16, 2020, CREW submitted to the Postal Service by email a FOIA request for ten categories of records. First, CREW requested copies of any and all briefing materials and or documents created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General of the United States, referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 1”). Second, CREW requested any and all briefing materials and or documents created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to Postmaster General of the United States Megan Brennan referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 2”). Third, CREW requested any and all briefing materials or documents, including testimony, or responses to questions for the record, created by USPS employees prepared for or presented to any United States Senator, member of the United States House of Representatives, or congressional staff, referring or relating to voting by mail (“item 3”).

  • COVID-19. Rarely Does the World Offer Proof of an Academic Argument, and Even More Rarely in a Single Word Or Term
    PREFACE TO THE PAPERBACK uU COVID-19. Rarely does the world offer proof of an academic argument, and even more rarely in a single word or term. But there it is. COVID-19 has shown us in the starkest terms—life and death—what happens when we don’t trust science and defy the advice of experts. As of this writing, the United States leads the world in both total cases and total deaths from COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus that appeared in 2019. One might think that death rates would be highest in China, where the virus first emerged and doctorswere presumably caught unpre- pared, but that is not the case. According to The Lancet— the world’s premier medical journal—as of early October 2020, China had confirmed 90,604 cases of COVID-19 and 4,739 deaths, while the United States had registered 7,382,194 cases and 209,382 deaths.1 And China has a population more than four times that of the United States. If the United States had a pandemic pattern similar to China, we would have seen only 22,500 cases and 1128 deaths. While COVID-19 has killed people across the globe, death rates have been far higher in the United States than in other wealthy countries, such as Germany, Iceland, South Korea, New Zealand, and Taiwan, and even than in some much poorer x • Preface to the Paperback countries, such as Vietnam.2 The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine puts the US death rate per 100,000 people at 65.5.3 In Germany it is 11.6.

[email protected] NITROGEN-REMOVAL SERVICES OF RESTORED SALT MARSHES IN JAMAICA BAY (NEW YORK, NY) Coastal wetlands are important sites of nitrogen removal, a critical ecosystem service in highly eutrophic environments. In Jamaica Bay, over 92% of historic wetland area has been lost over the past century. Despite considerable efforts to restore wetland ecosystems in Jamaica Bay and throughout New York City, few studies have examined the value of ecosystem services used to justify their cost, and little is known about the ecological mechanisms contributing to the success or failure of reconstruction. Past and ongoing restoration efforts in Jamaica Bay provide a unique opportunity to study nitrogen-removal ecosystem services in natural and restored wetlands in an urban, eutrophic environment. In collaboration with researchers from several institutions, we are using a chronosequence of marsh restorations to assess how marsh vegetation, sediment characteristics, and key processes of the nitrogen cycle develop over time following restoration. The goal of our project is to determine the restoration age and environmental conditions under which salt-marsh restoration will effectively provide ecosystem services such as nitrogen removal. We employ a combination of flow-through incubation, field survey, and experimental methods to identify the key biological and abiotic factors limiting nitrogen-removal services in natural and restored marshes.
