    The Water Column Freestone Aquatics Monthly Newsletter Photo Essay of the Month South Island New Zealand February and March 2005 Freestone Aquatics www.freestoneaquatics.com Take a Kid Fishing by Luke Kelly Large, wild brown and rainbow trout are crashing the surface, and hundreds of huge salmon flies fill the air. This is why we are here. It’s a beautiful June day, and I was with three good friends scrambling down the well named “SOB” trail into the Black Canyon of The Gunnison River. It’s an extremely impressive canyon; simply driving the rim of the canyon is worth the trip itself. The trial is more like a rappel in spacesuits. There are several sections of down climbing that makes this a much less popular trail, but the reward at the bottom of the canyon is worth the effort. As if the steepness isn’t enough, there are also many areas filled with poison ivy, so my companions and I are wearing pants, long sleeves, and gloves, with wrist and ankles duct taped and all! As we finally approached the river, the explosive rises of fish came into focus. We also noticed another camper set up, and was a bit surprised to see no one fishing. When we dumped our packs and the excitement really set in, it re- minding me of my younger days of die-hard fishing. I was taking off the duct tape from my ridiculous outfit, and I saw our camper friends sitting in the shade. It was a father and son, and I noticed a couple of spinning rods leaning against a nearby cottonwood tree.

  • The New Adaption Gallery
    Introduction In 1991, a group of Heritage Center staff began meeting informally after work to discuss a Heritage Center expansion. This “committee” was formalized in 1992 by Jim Sperry, Superintendent of the State Historical Society of North Dakota, and became known as the Space Planning About Center Expansion (SPACE) committee. The committee consisted of several Historical Society staff and John Hoganson representing the North Dakota Geological Survey. Ultimately, some of the SPACE committee ideas were rejected primarily because of anticipated high cost such as a planetarium, arboretum, and day care center but many of the ideas have become reality in the new Heritage Center expansion. In 2009, the state legislature appropriated $40 million for a $52 million Heritage Center expansion. The State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation was given the task to raise the difference. On November 23, 2010 groundbreaking for the expansion took place. Planning for three new galleries began in earnest: the Governor’s Gallery (for large, temporary, travelling exhibits), Innovation Gallery: Early Peoples, and Adaptation Gallery: Geologic Time. The Figure 1. Partial Stratigraphic column of North Dakota showing Figure 2. Plate tectonic video.

  • The Sunshine State
    1 The Sunshine State Visitors driving into Florida pass signs that offer a greeting and men- tion the weather they may expect: “Welcome to Florida—The Sunshine State.” It is the sunshine that lures so many people to Florida. Florida has been officially known as the Sunshine State since 1970, but other nicknames include the Peninsula State, the Everglades State, the Alliga- tor State, and the Orange State. Florida is the land of sunshine, beaches, theme parks, wildlife, and much more. Florida’s warm, sunnyproof weather has created a population of tourists, retirees, refugees from the cold North, and visitors from overseas, but Florida’s weather isn’t always warm and sunny. Every Floridian knows to expect rumbling thunderstorms arising from the hot and humid air lifted by sea breezes that sometimes turn violent during summer after- noons. These storms, which are sometimes deadly, throw out bolts of lightning like the Greek god Thor, striking whomever may be in their path. At times the weather is hot and dry for months, as Floridians all over the state saw in 1998 when the parched land ignited into wildfires. Thick smoke from fires at night clings close to the ground and mixes with fog, creating a deadly mix when it drifts over roadways. During the winter, Arctic air masses originating in Siberia migrate across the dark and frozen northlands to Alaska and Canada and plunge southward, bringing a frigid chill to Florida. Snow is not on the mind of most Flo- ridians unless they are headed to the ski slopes or hear news of a bliz- zard up north.

Over 20% of the species are endemic to Australia, with endemic species occuiring primarily in southern Australia. There is also a small component of the fauna which is found only in the southwestern Pacific (New Caledonia, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and New Zealand). The majority of the other species are widely distributed in the western Pacific Ocean.

South Pacific Commission, Nouméa, New Caledonia The Oceanic Fisheries Programme of the South Pacific Commission is currently pursuing a research project on age and growth of two tropical tuna species, yellowfm tuna (Thunnus albacares) and bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus). The daily periodicity of microincrements forrned with the sagittal otoliths of these two spceies has been validated by oxytetracycline marking in previous studies. These validation studies have come from fishes within three regions of the Pacific (eastem, central and western tropical Pacific).

The white www.NauticalCharts.NOAA.gov sand beaches of the southernmost keys are easily discernible from 888-990-NOAA seaward. A large house on Ballast Key (24°31.3'N., 81°57.8'W.) is reported to be prominent. What are Nautical Charts? A small-craft channel, marked by private daybeacons, extends through the shoal area from Key West to the N side of Boca Grande Key. The Nautical charts are a fundamental tool of marine navigation. They show channel has a reported controlling depth of 5 feet except S of Mule Key, water depths, obstructions, buoys, other aids to navigation, and much near Key West, where the controlling depth is 2 feet.
