Downtown Annapolis, Alexandria, and Fells Point in Baltimore under water; piers and docks destroyed, cars parked several hundred yards inland inundated; year-plus frustrations with federal and personal insurance recoveries for storm damage. What was so different about this hurricane versus others that have blown over the Bay? In fact, Isabel was not a hurricane when she arrived but a tropical storm, yet she still caused devastating damage in the tidal areas of the Bay and its tributaries. Why, with the best hurricane projections possible, was the region caught unprepared? Why was there so much damage when everyone knew the storm was approaching and where she would track? These questions have motivated managers, local government officials, and the scientific community since Isabel visited in September 2003 and inspired a cross-community conference, “Hurricane Isabel in Perspective” held at the Maritime Institute in Linthicum, Maryland in November 2004. Sponsored by the Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), the conference encouraged participation by scientists, managers, and many emergency responders to explore the reasons for the devastating impacts of the hurricane and to discuss openly why the advanced forecasting tools and preparedness teams were unable to protect property throughout the region. The conference topic raised sufficient interest in the region that several institutions and organizations co-sponsored the meeting: CRC, UMCES, the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the MD Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR), the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserves, and the Keith Campbell Foundation. Over 160 participants met for two days to listen to technical presentations by leading national and regional scientists and to participate in open discussion among state and county government officials and emergency response personnel. Isabel was not unique; she mimicked a hurricane that traversed the Chesapeake Bay in 1933. The fundamental property shared by Isabel and the earlier storm was that both tracked northward along the western side of the Chesapeake, resulting in counterclockwise winds that drove water up the Bay and its tributaries. The storm surge from Isabel, coupled with tide- and wind-induced waves, reached far inland, particularly in the low-lying regions adjacent to the Bay. Even with advanced warning and media-delivered predictions of storm-surge height, the regional population did not grasp the storm surge concept. As a result, citizens did not fully prepare for the flood waters that accompanied the storm’s passage. Had the K.G. Sellner (ed.). 2005. Hurricane Isabel in Perspective. Chesapeake Research Consortium, CRC Publication 05-161, Edgewater, MD. vii -11 11- _JI IL storm tracked to the east of the Chesapeake’s main stem, with the modest rains that fell during and after the storm, far less property damage and flooding would likely have occurred. An obvious outcome of the conference has been the recognition that more informative descriptions are needed on the height of storm surge and likely areas of inundation expected in low-lying areas around the Bay and its tributaries. Recognizing the importance of effective and continuous regional distribution of surge and inundation forecasts prior to a storm’s arrival may reduce future storm impacts in the basin. Planners, scientists, emergency responders, and academics alike agreed that the numerous lessons learned from Hurricane Isabel will greatly assist our society’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the next major storm event. The presentation of these lessons forms the contents of this proceedings volume. Most notable, however, is the lesson that planning does reduce impacts. While some need for improvement in terms of regional decision-making processes and institutional response still exists, use of the tremendous amount of scientific and academic research, along with forecast and model outputs, proved invaluable and will remain indispensable into the future. This proceedings volume includes 31 peer-reviewed manuscripts covering: the history of hurricanes and storms from colonial times along with colonial and late-‘70’s responses to these major meteorological events; the physics and models describing the hurricane’s passage and the effects on water levels; the biological responses in the water and on the land; and management and emergency responder capacities for Isabel and the future. The region was severely flooded and is still recovering. Hopefully, although the flooding has receded, the effects of this storm will remain in our collective memory to ensure better preparedness in the coming years.

  • Books from Both Side of the Ditch
    Tidewater Tales: Books from Both Sides of the Ditch Book Collecting Contest January 21, 2019 1 Swimming in the Chesapeake Bay is one of the great joys of my life, from jumping off the bow of my parents Morgan 30’ as a child to swim in the almost fresh and almost always nettle-less Sassafras River, to moonlight swimming in the Chesapeake Bay proper from the beach at the end of the street where I grew up in Arundel on the Bay, and even the frosty exhilarance which comes with the Polar Bear Plunge at Sandy Point State Park. If you grew up within a 25 mile radius of the Chesapeake Bay, you refer to it ubiquitously as the Bay, an omnipresent waterway which bisects Maryland in two. And while the Bay can be experienced a number of ways be it sailing, powerboating, fishing, crabbing, or even a stroll at the water’s edge; swimming puts you in the middle of it. It is in this way that swimming is an apt metaphor for the experience of reading. Swimming in the Bay can take many forms too: from doggy paddling on the surface on the first perfect day in May, to diving down to murky black bottom looking for some refreshing water in late summer. Swimming is endlessly satisfying, an activity for both young and old, yet another way it is just like reading. It is hard to gain any perspective when you are swimming at the surface, so this collection is an attempt at providing some, about a beautifully varied subject.

TRUITT* The program of work at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory is being developed in a direction that will further the understand- ing of biological principles underlying conservation planning as well as to encourage the development of fundamental research. Efforts largely are centered in two directions, namely, research and teaching. Research problems are broad in their scope and many of them possess an important bearing on the preservation of natural resources in animal and plant life. Instructional work pertains to basic biology and to the status of natural resources as well as remedial measures that may assist in their development. Substantial progress was made in 1938 both in respect to additions made in the physical plant and to the problems effec- tively pursued by an energetic staff. The completion of a new and adequate building placed at the disposal of those working at Solmo- mons Island a greatly needed adjunct for the continuation of studies throughout the year. Much added equipment and space has been made available for the program being pursued, in the form of boats, technical apparatus, and added construction work for storage, Problems previously in course of study were continued dur- ing the current year, while new researches, in part economic and in part abstract, were initiated on Protozoa, on certain of the fin-fishes, and on new phases of the hydrography of the region.

  • Biology of Amphibians William E
    40 Years of Evolution Darwin's Finches on Daphne Major Island Peter R. Grant, B. Rosemary Grant Princeton University Press (2014) Summary: Renowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant have produced landmark studies of the Galápagos finches first made famous by Charles Darwin. In How and Why Species Multiply, they offered a complete evolutionary history of Darwin's finches since their origin almost three million years ago. Now, in their richly illustrated new book, 40 Years of Evolution, the authors turn their attention to events taking place on a contemporary scale. By continuously tracking finch populations over a period of four decades, they uncover the causes and consequences of significant events leading to evolutionary changes in species. The authors used a vast and unparalleled range of ecological, behavioral, and genetic data--including song recordings, DNA analyses, and feeding and breeding behavior--to measure changes in finch populations on the small island of Daphne Major in the Galápagos archipelago. They find that natural selection happens repeatedly, that finches hybridize and exchange genes rarely, and that they compete for scarce food in times of drought, with the remarkable result that the finch populations today differ significantly in average beak size and shape from those of forty years ago. The authors' most spectacular discovery is the initiation and establishment of a new lineage that now behaves as a new species, differing from others in size, song, and other characteristics. The authors emphasize the immeasurable value of continuous long-term studies of natural populations and of critical opportunities for detecting and understanding rare but significant events.
