    Rapid Formation and Degradation of Barrier Spits in Areas with Low Rates of Littoral Drift*

    Marine Geology, 49 (1982) 257-278 257 Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company, Amsterdam- Printed in The Netherlands RAPID FORMATION AND DEGRADATION OF BARRIER SPITS IN AREAS WITH LOW RATES OF LITTORAL DRIFT* D.G. AUBREY and A.G. GAINES, Jr. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543 (U.S.A.) (Received February 8, 1982; revised and accepted April 6, 1982) ABSTRACT Aubrey, D.G. and Gaines Jr., A.G., 1982. Rapid formation and degradation of barrier spits in areas with low rates of littoral drift. Mar. Geol., 49: 257-278. A small barrier beach exposed to low-energy waves and a small tidal range (0.7 m) along Nantucket Sound, Mass., has experienced a remarkable growth phase followed by rapid attrition during the past century. In a region of low longshore-transport rates, the barrier spit elongated approximately 1.5 km from 1844 to 1954, developing beyond the baymouth, parallel to the adjacent Nantucket Sound coast. Degradation of the barrier spit was initiated by a succession of hurricanes in 1954 (Carol, Edna and Hazel). A breach opened and stabilized near the bay end of the one kilometer long inlet channel, providing direct access for exchange of baywater with Nantucket Sound, and separating the barrier beach into two nearly equal limbs. The disconnected northeast limb migrated shorewards, beginning near the 1954 inlet and progressing northeastward, filling the relict inlet channel behind it. At present, about ten percent of the northeast limb is subaerial: the rest of the limb has completely filled the former channel and disappeared. The southwest limb of the barrier beach has migrated shoreward, but otherwise has not changed significantly since the breach.

    Summary of 2017 Massachusetts Piping Plover Census Data

    SUMMARY OF THE 2017 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS Bill Byrne, MassWildlife SUMMARY OF THE 2017 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS ABSTRACT This report summarizes data on abundance, distribution, and reproductive success of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) in Massachusetts during the 2017 breeding season. Observers reported breeding pairs of Piping Plovers present at 147 sites; 180 additional sites were surveyed at least once, but no breeding pairs were detected at them. The population increased 1.4% relative to 2016. The Index Count (statewide census conducted 1-9 June) was 633 pairs, and the Adjusted Total Count (estimated total number of breeding pairs statewide for the entire 2017 breeding season) was 650.5 pairs. A total of 688 chicks were reported fledged in 2017, for an overall productivity of 1.07 fledglings per pair, based on data from 98.4% of pairs. Prepared by: Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife 2 SUMMARY OF THE 2017 MASSACHUSETTS PIPING PLOVER CENSUS INTRODUCTION Piping Plovers are small, sand-colored shorebirds that nest on sandy beaches and dunes along the Atlantic Coast from North Carolina to Newfoundland. The U.S. Atlantic Coast population of Piping Plovers has been federally listed as Threatened, pursuant to the U.S. Endangered Species Act, since 1986. The species is also listed as Threatened by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife pursuant to Massachusetts’ Endangered Species Act. Population monitoring is an integral part of recovery efforts for Atlantic Coast Piping Plovers (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1996, Hecht and Melvin 2009a, b). It allows wildlife managers to identify limiting factors, assess effects of management actions and regulatory protection, and track progress toward recovery.

Geology, Soils and Topography 1. Geology The Wellfleet area of Cape Cod was formed some 12,000 years ago during the final glacial era of the Wisconsin Stage of the Pleistocene Epoch (Strahler, 1966). Overlying the area’s bedrock is approximately 400 feet of glacial sand and gravel (Chamberlain, 1964). Wellfleet is a plain resulting from morainal outwash. Strahler (1966) suggests there was an interlobate moraine between Cape Cod Bay and the South Channel glacial lobes, which was situated east of the present arm of the Cape. As a glacial ice mass receded, boulders and ice blocks were deposited on the scoured countryside. Granite rocks can still be seen scattered throughout Wellfleet. The larger ice blocks formed kettle holes and hollows after glacial retreat. The ice blocks melted slowly and outwash materials deposited around them. The resulting depressions filled with water to form ponds. Hollows were open and were unable to retain water because of sectional erosion. Great Pond, Duck Pond, and the ponds east of the Herring River are examples of the kettle ponds. Hollows are more numerous, and Dyer’s Hollow, Cahoon’s Hollow, and Snow’s Hollow are typical examples. Present geography is also the result of postglacial modifications. Channels in outwash deposits evolved into rivers such as the Herring and Blackfish Creek. Rising sea level punctuated by storm wave action cut deeply into the coastline forming the steep marine scarps (e.g.

    The Census Man Cometh

    THE CENSUS MAN COMETH - FOR SEAGULLS AND SUNDRY OTHER FOWL OF THE SEA AND SHORE by Bradford G. Blodget, State Ornithologist, Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife A question I am frequently asked goes something like this; "Vfhat does the State Ornithologist do?" Actually, the greatest amount of my time and effort is spent collecting information and keeping tabs on the approximately 210 species of birds, particularly the rarer ones, that nest in Massachusetts. With this intelligence, effective recommenda­ tions can be made for their conservation, and I can answer other fre­ quent queries like, "Where have all the bluebirds gone?" While various specialized investigations and censuses of the state's avifauna are routinely handled, 1984 turned out to be anything but rou­ tine. One morning last spring, Ralph Andrews, a coastal bird special­ ist for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), telephoned me to announce that the service was undertaking a colonial waterbird census along the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Virginia to update a census done in 1977. He asked me whether I would be willing to coordi­ nate the census in Massachusetts, thus setting in motion what has turned out to be probably the largest and most comprehensive bird cen­ sus handled to date by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife's Non­ game and Endangered Species Program (DFW - NESP). Plundered by plume hianters in the 1890s, forced by human encroachment to abandon many of their natural nesting habitats and battered by the onslaught of environmental toxicants, the colonial waterbirds are sur­ vivors. Some species are still threatened today, while others - wit­ ness the gulls - rank among textbook examples of biological capitalists and flourish in vast numbers, scavenging the byproducts of the seafood industry and our "throw-away" society.
