Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

The Cultural Heritage of the Wadden Sea
The Cultural Heritage of the Wadden Sea 1. Overview Name: Wadden Sea Delimitation: Between the Zeegat van Texel (i.e. Marsdiep, 52° 59´N, 4° 44´E) in the west, and Blåvands Huk in the north-east. On its seaward side it is bordered by the West, East and North Frisian Islands, the Danish Islands of Fanø, Rømø and Mandø and the North Sea. Its landward border is formed by embankments along the Dutch provinces of North- Holland, Friesland and Groningen, the German state of Lower Saxony and southern Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. Size: Approx. 12,500 square km. Location-map: Borders from west to east the southern mainland-shore of the North Sea in Western Europe. Origin of name: ‘Wad’, ‘watt’ or ‘vad’ meaning a ford or shallow place. This is presumably derives from the fact that it is possible to cross by foot large areas of this sea during the ebb-tides (comparable to Latin vadum, vado, a fordable sea or lake). Relationship/similarities with other cultural entities: Has a direct relationship with the Frisian Islands and the western Danish islands and the coast of the Netherlands, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and south Denmark. Characteristic elements and ensembles: The Wadden Sea is a tidal-flat area and as such the largest of its kind in Europe. A tidal-flat area is a relatively wide area (for the most part separated from the open sea – North Sea ̶ by a chain of barrier- islands, the Frisian Islands) which is for the greater part covered by seawater at high tides but uncovered at low tides. -

Reassessment of Long-Period Constituents for Tidal Predictions Along the German North Sea Coast and Its Tidally Influenced River
https://doi.org/10.5194/os-2019-71 Preprint. Discussion started: 18 June 2019 c Author(s) 2019. CC BY 4.0 License. Reassessment of long-period constituents for tidal predictions along the German North Sea coast and its tidally influenced rivers Andreas Boesch1 and Sylvin Müller-Navarra1 1Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, Bernhard-Nocht-Straße 78, 20359 Hamburg, Germany Correspondence: Andreas Boesch ([email protected]) Abstract. The Harmonic Representation of Inequalities is a method for tidal analysis and prediction. With this technique, the deviations of heights and lunitidal intervals, especially of high and low waters, from their respective mean values are represented by superpositions of long-period tidal constituents. This study documents the preparation of a constituents list for the operational application of the Harmonic Representation of Inequalities. Frequency analyses of observed heights and 5 lunitidal intervals of high and low water from 111 tide gauges along the German North Sea coast and its tidally influenced rivers have been carried out using the generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram. One comprehensive list of partial tides is realized by combining the separate frequency analyses and by applying subsequent improvements, e.g. through manual inspections of long-time data. The new set of 39 partial tides largely confirms the previously used set with 43 partial tides. Nine constituents are added and 13 partial tides, mostly in close neighbourhood of strong spectral components, are removed. The effect of these 10 changes has been studied by comparing predictions with observations from 98 tide gauges. Using the new set of constituents, the standard deviations of the residuals are reduced by 2.41% (times) and 2.30% (heights) for the year 2016. -

Die Küste, 69 PROMORPH (2005), 203-228 203 Hydrodynamic Forcing Along the Open Sea Boundaries of Small-Scale Coastal Models By ROBERTO MAYERLE,JORT WILKENS,CARLOS ESCOBAR and WIWIN WINDUPRANATA Summary This paper deals with hydrodynamic forcing along the open sea boundaries of process- based models for simulating flow and waves in the central Dithmarschen Bight, a tidally-domina- ted area on the German North Sea coast. The effectiveness of various approaches for determining water levels and waves as open sea boundary input to coastal area models was verified. Compa- risons of measured and computed water levels and waves at several locations for a wide range of conditions typical of the study area were carried out in order to verify the performance of the approaches adopted. The results obtained were found to be in good agreement with observations and confirmed the suitability of the different approaches for describing the hydrodynamics in the study area. In the case of the flow model better agreement was obtained using the approach based on water levels measured directly along the open sea boundaries. The mean absolute error in amplitudes and phases at high and low water levels was found to be less than 3 % of the mean tidal range and about 5 % of the tidal period, respectively. Corrections to the results obtained from the north-west European Continental Shelf Model based on measured water levels proved to be quite effective for improving the water levels prescribed along the open sea boundaries of larger models. The open sea boundary conditions for the wave model, which represent incoming swell energy, were defined by directly imposing (parametric) values deduced from measurements at a location along the open boundary and by the application of a model nesting sequence. -
