  • Lagoons and Coastal Wetlands in the Global Change Context: Impacts and Management Issues
    LAGOONS AND COASTAL WETLANDS IN THE GLOBAL CHANGE CONTEXT: IMPACTS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES International Conference 1. Title of the Project International Conference: “Lagoons and coastal wetlands in the global change context: Impacts and management issues” Venice, July 2003 Starting date: January 2003 2. Objectives of the Project The objective of the present project is to organise and hold an international conference to respond to the challenge of integrating global change issues in wetland management. The conference will have a multidisciplinary view and will be based on high level scientific expertise. The aim is to identify gaps, problems and success in wetland knowledge and management. CORILA is an association between the University of Padua, the University of Venice, the University Institute of Architecture in Venice and the National Research Council, for coordinating and managing the research on the Venice Lagoon system. CORILA is presently managing a large multidisciplinary scientific project on the lagoon of Venice which embraces biology, chemistry, morphology, modelling, architecture and economics and is networking 70 research bodies and institutions. CORILA is in constant dialogue with the Public Administrations and promotes the dissemination of the results of the research to the policy makers. CORILA stipulated an agreement with the UNESCO, Regional Office for Science and Technology, Venice, Italy for the promotion and coordination of scientific research on Venice lagoon system and coastal wetlands. UNESCO, Regional Office for Science and Technology, Venice, Italy has large competencies in wetlands and lagoons conservation, and particularly in the safeguarding of the Venice Lagoon. It is member of MARS (European marine research stations network) and promoter of MAB (Man and the biosphere world network) which promotes and demonstrates a balanced relationship between people and nature.

  • Big Lagoon Bog
    Big Lagoon Bog Bob Ziemer • McKinleyville • California • USA • [email protected] The Big Lagoon Bog is an inconspicuous 1.3 ha peatland in coastal northwestern California (Figs. 1&2). A reason the bog is of interest to me is that it contains both Sphagnum and Drosera rotundifolia—neither are rare by any stretch of the imagination. What makes this location special is that the bog is isolated with the nearest Drosera rotundifolia neighbors about 80 km north and 200 km south. Peat bogs are rare at low elevations along the coast in California. In contrast, the Darlingtonia bogs in the Klamath region are perennial wet, nutrient poor, ultramafic outcrops with little or no Sphagnum. The Big Lagoon Bog lies 3 m above sea level and is within 300 m of the Pacific Ocean coastline. The bog drains into Big Lagoon, a 590-ha brackish embayment separated from the ocean by a nar- row 6 km long sand bar. Winter rainfall raises the water level in the lagoon several meters above sea level where hydrostatic pressure and high surf breaches the sand bar allowing the lagoon to drain into the ocean and then receive tidal inflow until wave action reforms the bar. Big Lagoon Bog is one of the few peatlands in California that have received floristic study (Lep- pig 2002; Smith 2014). Leppig (2002) found a total of 77 vascular taxa at the bog of which 5 taxa were rare (Carex huxbaumii, C. viridula, Lathyrus palustris, Lycopodiella inundata, and Lycopus uniflora) and 13 alien taxa. The high proportion of alien taxa is due to the area having been logged and grazed, with adjacent homes, a county park, and a nearby campground.

  • Northern California Coast Northern Focus Area
    14.1 Description of Area 14.1.1 The Land The Northern California Coast - Northern Focus Area is composed of coastal Del Norte and Humboldt counties. The boundary extends eastward from the Pacific coast to the top of the first inland mountain range, and encompasses many of the region's existing and former wetlands. The focus area also includes a few important riparian and floodplain areas adjacent to major coastally draining rivers (Figure 13). In this northernmost California County, the coastline tends to be composed of rocky cliffs and high bluffs which rise steeply into the coastal mountain ranges with their deeply cut 14.0 canyons. Two major rivers drain the interior mountain ranges and empty into the Pacific Ocean within the boundary of Del Norte County: the Smith River, which has its origins in north- eastern Del Norte County and southern Oregon, and the Klamath River with headwaters much farther to the NORTHERN north and east in south central Oregon. Humboldt County, to the south, includes portions of CALIFORNIA the California Coast Range and the southern Klamath Mountains. The most extensive coastal wetlands are associated with floodplains in the lower Eel River COAST─ Valley and the Humboldt Bay area. Other significant wetland habitats include Mad River Estuary, Little River Valley, Redwood Creek Estuary, Big Lagoon, NORTHERN Stone Lagoon, and Freshwater Lagoon. Major rivers and streams draining the mountain ranges of Humboldt County include the Eel River, Van Duzen FOCUS AREA River, Mad River, Trinity River, Klamath River, Mattole River, Bear River, and Redwood Creek. Like the Klamath River, the Trinity and Eel rivers have large drainage basins within the Coast Range and the Klamath Mountains.

  • Section 3.5 Marine Biology
    3.5 MARINE BIOLOGY 3.5.1 Introduction 3.5.1.1 Definition of Resource For purposes of this EIS/OEIS, marine biological resources are defined as marine flora and fauna and habitats that they occupy, occurring within the Point Mugu Sea Range, Mugu Lagoon, and the intertidal and nearshore environment of San Nicolas Island and Point Mugu. This section specifically addresses marine invertebrates and flora. Fish and sea turtles are addressed in Section 3.6, marine mammals are addressed in Section 3.7, and seabirds are addressed in Section 3.8. Threatened and endangered species, as defined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), are also addressed. Species that are federally listed are afforded a degree of regulatory protection, which entails a permitting process including specific mitigation measures for any allowable (incidental) impacts on the species. Species that are proposed to be listed by the USFWS are treated similarly to listed species by that agency; recommendations of the USFWS, however, are advisory rather than mandatory in the case of proposed species. A federally listed endangered species is defined as any species, including subspecies, that is “in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” A federally listed threatened species is defined as any species “likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” “Proposed” endangered or threatened species are those species for which a proposed regulation has been published in the Federal Register, but a final rule has not yet been issued. 3.5.1.2 Regional Setting The Sea Range straddles the ocean off Point Conception which is considered a major geographic feature that affects marine biological diversity.

  • Upwelling As a Source of Nutrients for the Great Barrier Reef Ecosystems: a Solution to Darwin's Question?
    Vol. 8: 257-269, 1982 MARINE ECOLOGY - PROGRESS SERIES Published May 28 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. / I Upwelling as a Source of Nutrients for the Great Barrier Reef Ecosystems: A Solution to Darwin's Question? John C. Andrews and Patrick Gentien Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville 4810, Queensland, Australia ABSTRACT: The Great Barrier Reef shelf ecosystem is examined for nutrient enrichment from within the seasonal thermocline of the adjacent Coral Sea using moored current and temperature recorders and chemical data from a year of hydrology cruises at 3 to 5 wk intervals. The East Australian Current is found to pulsate in strength over the continental slope with a period near 90 d and to pump cold, saline, nutrient rich water up the slope to the shelf break. The nutrients are then pumped inshore in a bottom Ekman layer forced by periodic reversals in the longshore wind component. The period of this cycle is 12 to 25 d in summer (30 d year round average) and the bottom surges have an alternating onshore- offshore speed up to 10 cm S-'. Upwelling intrusions tend to be confined near the bottom and phytoplankton development quickly takes place inshore of the shelf break. There are return surface flows which preserve the mass budget and carry silicate rich Lagoon water offshore while nitrogen rich shelf break water is carried onshore. Upwelling intrusions penetrate across the entire zone of reefs, but rarely into the Lagoon. Nutrition is del~veredout of the shelf thermocline to the living coral of reefs by localised upwelling induced by the reefs.
