This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase. OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bird Islet (00S073E0013) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bushy Islet (00S073E0014) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Fedu Island (00S073E0008) -

This study provides evidence of the occurrence of this species at the Revillagigedo Archipelago (18899′186′′N 112808′44′′W), Mexico, using acoustic telemetry and videos taken from 2014 to 2016. We report here movements from a coastal location (National Park Cabo Pulmo) to a group of oceanic islands (Revillagigedo Archipelago) by one single individual, supporting the idea of the potential connectivity of sharks between the Gulf of California and the Revillagigedo Archipelago. This report extends the known distribution of N. velox to 400 km off the mainland coast of the Americas, thereby increasing the knowledge of the distribution of a species commonly reported in fishery landings of the Eastern Pacific. -
South of Hanko Peninsula
2013 5 CT JE RO SEA P C I T BAL Oceana proposal for a Marine Protected Area South of Hanko Peninsula INTRODUCTION Hanko Peninsula, located at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, is the southern-most part of the Finnish mainland and boasts an archipelago and long sandy beaches. Salinity is relatively low, ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 psu, and the waters in the shallower coastal areas are limnic1. Upwellings, a common occurrence in the area wherein nutrient-rich sediments are brought up to the surface, cause a rapid increase in the salinity in areas at 35 meters, and a small increase in salinity in the surface water2. The inner waters of the archipelago freeze every year, while the more open waters freeze regularly, but not every winter3. Parts of the coastal area are protected under EU Natura 2000 network, and the area is classified as a sea area requiring specific protection measures. Wetland areas are also included in the Ramsar network. Because of the special characteristics of the area (changing salinity, archipelagos, wetlands), there are a lot of different zones that are able to host a wide variety of different species and communities4. Oceana conducted in the spring of 2011 and 2012 information from the area with ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), bottom samples and scuba dives. 1 5 South of Hanko Peninsula DesCRipTION OF The AREA Low salinity limits the amount of marine species in the area. Species composition changes completely from the open waters to the coast; with marine species being more common further from the coast and limnic species getting more common closer to the shore. -

Conservation Prioritization of Prince of Wales Island
CONSERVATION PRIORITIZATION OF PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND Identifying opportunities for private land conservation Prepared by the Southeast Alaska Land Trust With support from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Alaska Coastal Conservation Program February 2013 Conservation prioritization of Prince of Wales Island Conservation prioritization of Prince of Wales Island IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE LAND CONSERVATION INTRODUCTION The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded the Southeast Alaska Land Trust (SEAL Trust) a Coastal Grant in 2012. SEAL Trust requested this grant to fund a conservation priority analysis of private property on Prince of Wales Island. This report and an associated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map are the products of that work. Driving SEAL Trust’s interest in conservation opportunities on Prince of Wales Island is its obligations as an in-lieu fee sponsor for Southeast Alaska, which makes it eligible to receive fees in-lieu of mitigation for wetland impacts. Under its instrument with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers1, SEAL Trust must give priority to project sites within the same 8-digit Hydrologic Unit (HUC) as the permitted impacts. In the past 10 years, SEAL Trust has received a number of in-lieu fees from wetlands impacted by development on Prince of Wales Island, which, along with its outer islands, is the 8-digit HUC #19010103 (see Map 1). SEAL Trust has no conservation holdings or potential projects on Prince of Wales Island. In an attempt to achieve its conservation goals and compliance with the geographic elements of the Instrument, SEAL Trust wanted to take a strategic approach to exploring preservation possibilities in the Prince of Wales HUC. -
Northwest Coast Archaeology
ANTH 442/542 - Northwest Coast Archaeology COURSE DESCRIPTION This course examines the more than 12,000 year old archaeological record of the Northwest Coast of North America, the culture area extending from southeast Alaska to coastal British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and northern California. This region has fascinated anthropologists for almost 150 years because its indigenous peoples have developed distinctive cultures based on fishing, hunting, and gathering economies. We begin by establishing the ecological and ethnographic background for the region, and then study how these have shaped archaeologists' ideas about the past. We study the contents of sites and consider the relationship between data, interpretation, and theory. Throughout the term, we discuss the dynamics of contact and colonialism and how these have impacted understandings of the recent and more distant pasts of these societies. This course will prepare you to understand and evaluate Northwest Coast archaeological news within the context of different jurisdictions. You will also have the opportunity to visit some archaeological sites on the Oregon coast. I hope the course will prepare you for a lifetime of appreciating Northwest Coast archaeology. WHERE AND WHEN Class: 10-11:50 am, Monday & Wednesday in Room 204 Condon Hall. Instructor: Dr. Moss Office hours: after class until 12:30 pm, and on Friday, 1:30-3:00 pm or by appointment 327 Condon, 346-6076; [email protected] REQUIRED READING: Moss, Madonna L. 2011 Northwest Coast: Archaeology as Deep History.

Cole, Douglas. Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and An
Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and an Account of his Curious Career DOUGLAS COLE Among the valuable collections of British pictures assembled by Mr. Paul Mellon is a remarkable series of "accurate and characteristic original Drawings and sketches" which visually chronicle "a late Voyage round the World in 1791, 92, 93, 94 and 95" by one "S. Bacstrom M.D. and Surgeon." Of the five dozen or so drawings and maps, twenty-nine relate to the northwest coast of America. Six pencil sketches of northwest coast subjects, in large part preliminary versions of the Mellon pictures, are in the Provincial Archives of British Columbia, while a finished watercolour of Nootka Sound is held by Parks Canada.1 Sigismund Bacstrom was not a professional artist. He probably had some training but most likely that which compliments a surgeon and scientist rather than an artist, His drawings are meticulous and precise, with great attention to detail and individuality. He was not concerned with the representative scene or the typical specimen. In his native portraits he does not tend to draw, as Cook's John Webber had done, "A Man of Nootka Sound" who would characterize all Nootka men; Bacstrom drew Hatzia, a Queen Charlotte Islands chief, and his wife and son as they sat before him on board the Three Brothers in Port Rose on Friday, 1 March 1793. The strong features of the three natives are neither flattered nor romanticized, and while the picture may not be "beautiful," it possesses a documentary value far surpassing the majority of eighteenth-century drawings of these New World natives. -
