Thomas Bay Route Leaving the Harbor at High Tide This Route Follows the Coast of Kupreanof Island to the Sukoi Islets Thomas Bay Route Leaving the harbor at high tide this route follows the coast of Kupreanof Island to the Sukoi Islets. From here it crosses Frederick Sound via the islets and then follows the Point Agassiz Peninsula shoreline to the entrance of Thomas Bay. Spurt Cove and Cascade Creek are two Forest Service Cabins that could be rented on the route. One could arrange for a charter back to Petersburg or pad- dle the same route back. Thomas Bay is fairly protected but can have strong’ cold wind blowing down the Baird Glacier. Caution should be used at the entrance of Thomas Bay where very strong tidal currents and standing waves occur when the tide is running. This route is 60 miles and requires crossing Frederick Sound twice.

  • 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.

  • Kinmen Reopens Jiangong Islet to Public
    Kinmen reopens Jiangong Islet to public Taipei, Feb. 26 (CNA) Large numbers of tourists have visited Jiangong Islet in Kinmen County since it was recently re-opened to the public, and its rich ecosystem amazes visitors as they walk the stone path in the islet's intertidal zone. Chen Mei-ling (陳美齡), head of the tourism department of the offshore county, said Chinese-English bilingual tourist information is now available to visitors, while new wooden platforms, viewing decks and seashore trails have been built on the islet to provide more comprehensive services to visitors after it was reopened to the public in late January following reconstruction from Dec. 20 last year. The islet, located at the mouth of the Wu River in Jincheng Township and originally named Chu Islet, is 500 meters away from the Kinmen Island and covers 500 square meters. In 1949, it was taken by the Republic of China armed forces, which built stronghold W038 on it in the face of Chinese attacks from the other side of the Taiwan Strait, at a time when the two sides were still at war after the ROC government retreated to Taiwan. It was given the name of Jiangong Islet in 1960 and remained under the control of the ROC military until 1997, when the troops were all withdrawn as part of a military streamlining program. Since then, the islet gradually became dilapidated through lack of care until 2002, when the county government took it over and started repairs in the area with the aim of turning it into a tourist attraction.

  • Status of Pacific Island Coral Reef Fisheries by Tim Adams1, Paul Dalzell1 and Richard Farman2
    Status of Pacific Island coral reef fisheries by Tim Adams1, Paul Dalzell1 and Richard Farman2 1. SPC Coastal Fisheries Programme 2. Service de la mer, Province Sud, Nouméa, New Caledonia (paper presented at 8th International Coral Reef Symposium, Panama, 1996) Abstract It is difficult to determine the status of fisheries on Pacific Islands coral reefs. The region is economically undeveloped, sparsely populated and its coral reefs are scattered over a vast area. Resultant constraints on monitoring and investigation mean that quantitative information is rare. The few available quantitative indicators are summarised here alongside opinions based on extensive practical experience. Most anecdotal reports about exploitation of Pacific Island marine life that reach the global press concern adverse aspects of fisheries and this, in context with the definite crises being experienced in other global fisheries, particularly southeast Asian reef-fisheries, has led to a general feeling of pessimism about the broad impact of fishing on Pacific Island reefs. However, the available evidence suggests that Pacific Island reef fisheries as a whole do not exert an excessive pressure on reefs and that (high) local protein nutritional demands can be sustained at least for the immediate future. However, it is urgent that this apparent overall sustainability be consolidated through state-recognised management arrangements; it is necessary that some specific overfishing problems be addressed; and it is particularly important that the adverse influence of terrestrial activities and run-off on the carrying capacity of coral reefs fisheries be mitigated. Introduction Fisheries on Pacific Island coral reefs, despite the increasing pace of outside influence, are still overwhelmingly subsistence fisheries.

  • Figure 3. the Bioclastic Limestone on the Rocky Islet Seems to Be Lithif Led Under Air and Has Been Dissolved and Leached by Rain 375 14 376 Applications (1)
    [Radiocarbon, Vol 25, No. 2, 1983 P 375-379] RADIOCARBON PROFILES OF ROCKY ISLET, XI-SHA ISLANDS: EVIDENCE OF RECENT CRUSTAL MOVEMENTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA CHEN YEE-CHEIN and JIAO WEN-QIANG Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory, Institute of Geology National Bureau of Seismology, Beijing, China The Xi-Sha Islands comprise 35 coral reefs, cays, and is- lets lying to the northwest of the South China Sea. Since Miocene time, > 1200m of bioherms developed on slowly subsid- ing granite-gneiss bed rock. These sediments provide evi- dence for sea-level changes and crustal movements in the South China Sea. GEOLOGIC SETTING According to an echo sounding survey, the Xi-Sha Islands consist of eight coral reefs scattered regularly around a northeast to northwest trend line. This suggests that the growth of these reefs is tied to the regional tectonic trend and relates to the evolution of the South China Sea. Rocky Islet and Yong-Zing Islet lie on the same reef flat in the Xuan-Dei Islands to the north of the Xi-Sha Islands. The distance between both islets is only ca 1000m, but the geomorphology of both islets are quite different. Rocky Islet consists of cemented bioclastic limestone and its maximum ele- vation is 15m, the highest of the Xi-Sha Islands. Rocky Islet is surrounded with cliffs except in the southeast. An uncon- formity boundary exists in the strata at 8 to lOm elevation. The Yong-Ring Islet is a sandy cay with vegetation, consist- ing of uncemented coral-shell sands 20 to 22m thick. At the center of the islet the elevation is only +3 to +5m.

  • Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A
    ARCTIC VOL. 44, NO. 1 (MARCH 1991) R 63-73 Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A. DREDGE2 (Received 5 April 1990; accepted in revised form 9 October 1990) ABSTRACT. Radiocarbon dates from eastern Melville Peninsula indicatethat deglaciation of western Foxe Basin occurredabout 6900 years ago, although lateice persisted in an area northwest of Hall Lake and on the central plateau. Relative sea level was as high as 144 m above present at that time. ’ho new well-controlled sea level curves depict emergence as an exponential decay function. Marine limit elevations and nested curves indicate a major ice-loading centre in south-central Foxe Basin. Thesedata and archaeological dates suggest a secondary recent rebound centre in the northern part of the basin. Flights of raised beaches, prevalentin the area, are composed of angular limestone fragments and suggest that frost-riving occurs in shallow foreshore environments. The prominentwash line near the marine limit suggests that Foxe Basin had less sea ice cover prior to 6OOO years ago but that coastal processes have been similar to present since that time. Key words: Arctic, coasts, archaeology, radiocarbon dating, glacial history, emergence, sea level, geomorphology RESUMl?.
