Obviously, they were preferred. At the same time a young man named Hobert L. Alter, nicknamed Hoble, was making lightweight surfboards of fiber glass in a quonset hut in Dana Point. That year he went sailing with a friend on a 600-pound catamaran. He was so taken with the experience that, he says. " I went t horile and started building tons of little scale models." Fortunately, he was not intimadated by God's alleged intentions, and by July of 1968. his first fiber glass Hobie Cat was ready. He sold 100 of the 14-foot long. 225-pound catamarans at $1,000 each.

  • Digital Aerial Baseline Survey of Marine Wildlife: in Support of New
    Digital Aerial Baseline Survey of Marine Wildlife In Support of New York State Offshore Wind Energy Greg Lampman NYSERDA Greg Forcey Normandeau Associates, Inc. Steph McGovern APEM Outline . Normandeau/APEM Experience . Proposal Framework . Known Wildlife Distributions in OPA . Approach • Camera Sensor • Flight Planning and Survey Design • Data Output • Adaptive Methods Consideration • Survey Timing . Data Distribution Technology Evolution . Europe 2007: Aerial digital surveys are used for collecting offshore biological data . USA 2011: On behalf of BOEM, Normandeau completed a comparison of three offshore survey methodologies • Boat-based visual • Low-altitude aerial visual • High-altitude aerial digital Survey Vessels Boat surveys: 40-ft sport-fishing boat Aerial surveys: Cessna 337 Skymaster aircraft The digital imagery camera plane flew between 450 and 1000 m altitude Comparison-Density . Turtle Density Estimates • Digital survey estimates 4x higher than visual aerial data • Digital survey estimates 10x higher than boat survey data . Reasons • Low visibility of turtles from boats at sea-level and from aircraft given the short observation time available • Disturbance by both boat and aerial visual survey platforms Comparison-Identification . Birds: digital aerial surveys and boat-based surveys achieved higher success than visual aerial surveys . Turtles and Cetaceans: boat-based surveys had highest success Conclusions . Digital aerial surveys offer a significant methodological improvement over visual surveys for turtles . For marine birds and mammals in low-density situations, digital and observer-based survey methods may produce similar density estimates • Caveat: No marine mammals with long dive times (e.g., whales) were recorded in this study . Density calculations from digital aerial surveys are more accurate and precise • Precise definition of areal coverage • Reduced animal repulsion/attraction effects • Not affected by observer detectability biases APEM Experience .

March 2018 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT MIDWAY SEABIRD PROTECTION PROJECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (MANWR) lies in the North Pacific Ocean approximately equidistant between North America and Asia. The refuge is also designated the Battle of Midway National Memorial and is within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. The fringing coral reef, shallow lagoons, and 3 low-lying islands (Sand, Eastern, and Spit Islands), are the breeding grounds for millions of seabirds, the wintering grounds for thousands of shorebirds, and a refuge for critically endangered species like the Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) and Laysan duck (Anas laysanensis). Over 70% of the total global population of Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) breeds at the refuge; with the majority of the Midway population nesting on the 1,128-acre Sand Island. This Environmental Assessment (EA) documents an action proposed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM) and presents the anticipated environmental effects of both the Proposed Action and a No Action alternative.
