  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The purpose of this book is twofold: to provide general information for anyone interested in the California islands and to serve as a field guide for visitors to the islands. The book covers both general history and nat- ural history, from the geological origins of the islands through their aboriginal inhabitants and their marine and terrestrial biotas. Detailed coverage of the flora and fauna of one island alone would completely fill a book of this size; hence only the most common, most readily observed, and most interesting species are included. The names used for the plants and animals discussed in this book are the most up-to-date ones available, based on the scientific literature and the most recently published guidebooks. Common names are always subject to local variations, and they change constantly. Where two names are in common use, they are both mentioned the first time the organism is discussed. Ironically, in recent years scientific names have changed more recently than common names, and the reader concerned about a possible discrepancy in nomenclature should consult the scientific literature. If a significant nomenclatural change has escaped our notice, we apologize. For plants, our primary reference has been The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, edited by James C. Hickman, including the latest lists of errata. Variation from the nomenclature in that volume is due to more recent interpretations, as explained in the text. Certain abbreviations used throughout the text may not be immedi- ately familiar to the general reader; they are as follows: sp., species (sin- gular); spp., species (plural); n.

  • San Pablo Bay and Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuges - Refuges in the North Bay by Bryan Winton
    San Pablo Bay NWR Tideline Newsletter Archives San Pablo Bay and Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuges - Refuges in the North Bay by Bryan Winton Editor’s Note: In March 2003, the National Wildlife Refuge System will be celebrating its 100th anniversary. This system is the world’s most unique network of lands and waters set aside specifically for the conservation of fish, wildlife and plants. President Theodore Roosevelt established the first refuge, 3- acre Pelican Island Bird Reservation in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, in 1903. Roosevelt went on to create 55 more refuges before he left office in 1909; today the refuge system encompasses more than 535 units spread over 94 million acres. Leading up to 2003, the Tideline will feature each national wildlife refuge in the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. This complex is made up of seven Refuges (soon to be eight) located throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and headquartered at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Fremont. We hope these articles will enhance your appreciation of the uniqueness of each refuge and the diversity of habitats and wildlife in the San Francisco Bay Area. San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge Tucked away in the northern reaches of the San Francisco Bay estuary lies a body of water and land unique to the San Francisco Bay Area. Every winter, thousands of canvasbacks - one of North America’s largest and fastest flying ducks, will descend into San Pablo Bay and the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge not only boasts the largest wintering population of canvasbacks on the west coast, it protects the largest remaining contiguous patch of pickleweed-dominated tidal marsh found in the northern San Francisco Bay - habitat critical to Aerial view of San Pablo Bay NWR the survival of the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.

The Bay Plan was prepared by the Commission over a three-year period pursuant to the McAteer-Petris Act of 1965 which established the Commission as a temporary agency to prepare an enforceable plan to guide the future protection and use of San Francisco Bay and its shoreline. In 1969, the Legislature acted upon the Commission’s recommendations in the Bay Plan and revised the McAteer-Petris Act by designating the Commission as the agency responsible for maintaining and carrying out the provisions of the Act and the Bay Plan for the protection of the Bay and its great natural resources and the development of the Bay and shore- line to their highest potential with a minimum of Bay fill.

VGP regulates discharges incidental to the normal operation of commercial vessels and non-recreational vessels greater than or equal to 79 ft. in length. sVGP regulates discharges incidental to the normal operation of commercial vessels and non- recreational vessels less than 79 ft. in length. VGP and sVGP can be viewed in their entirety at the ICMP web site http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/cmp/Pages/CMPFederalConsistencyRegister.aspx Inquiries concerning this request may be directed to Jim Casey of the Department’s Chicago Office at (312) 793-5947 or [email protected].

High-altitude color infrared photo- graphs were acquired by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration during several seasons in 1974 and 1975. These photo- graphs supplied the information on hydrologic boundaries and vegetation that was needed for classification and mapping. Seasonal information was required to map the maximum number of cate- gories. The stage (water level) was determined for the time of over- flights for sites where gaging stations are in operation. A wetland classification system was developed for the Tennessee Valley Region based primarily on vegetation, and on frequency and duration of inundation. Using this new classification system, wet- lands at four sites were mapped at 1:24 000 scale as overlays on U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps. Adjacent land use was also mapped, but in less detail than wetlands.

VOL. 62 December 1991 NO. 4 The Migrant, 62(4):89-96, 1991. STATUS OF THE REELFOOT LAKE, TENNESSEE HERON AND EGRET COLONY 1990-1991 Mark A. Greene, Jody K. Knox, and T. David Pitts Dept. of Biology, Univ, of Tennessee at Martin Martin, Tennessee 38238 During the early 1970's a new heron and egret colony was established at ReeIfoot Lake (Pitk 1982). However, the few recent accounts (Ford 1985; Pullin 19110-1987; Waldron 1988) of this colony have dealt only with limited aspects (e.g., Anhinga (A~hinpaanhir~gn) nests). The purposes of this study were to determine (1) the size of the area occupied by the colony, (2) the approximate number of nests in the colony, (3j the species composition of the colony, and (4j the perimeter of the colony. This information could be useful for future researchers who study thecolony and its effects on the Reelfoot Lake area. METHODS AND STUDY AREA The heron and egret colony is located in the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's (TWRA) Reel foot Wildlife Management Area (RWMA) on Little Ronaldson Slough, west of Reelfoot Lake, in LakeCounty, Tennessee. The northeast edgeof the colony borders the west end of Little Ronaldson Slough (latitude 36" 24' 06"; longitude 89"25'3OU)(Figure 1). About 95% of the trees within the colony are bald cypress (Tamdium distichurn), few of which are less than 15 cm diameter at breast height (=DBH).
