  • Northern Marianas

    Northern Marianas

    Northern Marianas Overview: The Marianas is an archipelago made up by the summits of 15 volcanic mountains in the north-western Pacific Ocean. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is in political union with the United States. Territory: Includes 14 islands, including Saipan, Rota, and Tinian which are inhabited; and Farallon de Pajaros, Maug Islands, Pagan Island, Guguan, Agrihan Island, Sarigan Island, Anatahan Island, Asuncion Island and Farallon de Medinilla which are currently uninhabited due to volcanic activity. The southern islands are limestone with level terraces and fringing coral reefs; the northern islands are volcanic. Land: 477 sq km; Water: 0 sq km; Total: 477 sq km; Coast line: 1,482 km; Highest point: unnamed location on Agrihan 965 m. Location: Oceania, islands in the North Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. Latitude and Longitude: 15 1' 2" N, 145 4' 5" E. Time Zone: GMT +10 Total Land Area: 477 EEZ: 200 Climate: tropical marine; moderated by northeast trade winds, little seasonal temperature variation; dry season December to June, rainy season July to October. Natural Resources: arable land, fish. All the islands except Farallon de Medinilla and Urracas or Mangs (in the northern group) are more or less densely wooded, and the vegetation is luxuriant, much resembling that of the Carolines, and also of the Philippines, whence many species of plants have been introduced. Owing to the humidity of the soil cryptogams are numerous, as also most kinds of grasses. Agriculture is neglected, in spite of the exceptional advantages offered by the climate and soil.
  • COCONUT CRAB (Birgus Latro) SURVEYS on PAGAN, COMMONWEALTH of the NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS

    COCONUT CRAB (Birgus Latro) SURVEYS on PAGAN, COMMONWEALTH of the NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS

    COCONUT CRAB (Birgus latro) SURVEYS ON PAGAN, COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS Prepared by: Scott Vogt Wildlife Biologist U.S. Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Far East Command Yokosuka, Japan December 2010 INTRODUCTION The coconut or robber crab (Birgus latro) has a wide distribution ranging from Eastern Africa, through the Indian Ocean islands to the Pacific Ocean islands (Fletcher and Amos, 1994). Due to its large size, ease of collection and palatable flesh, the coconut crab is often over-harvested when it occurs in the vicinity of human habitation. The Mariana Islands are no exception and this species is heavily harvested as a cultural resource. Surveys on Guam (USFWS, 2001), Saipan (Kessler, 2006) and Tinian (U.S. Navy, 2008) have documented over-harvested populations. Coconut crabs are a type of hermit crab; however they abandon the necessity of residing in a discarded snail shell at a small size and go through life with no added protection other than their own carapace. They are the largest land dwelling invertebrate in the world and can reach a weight in excess of 5kg. Coconut crabs breed on land but the female releases the eggs in the ocean where they immediately hatch. The oceanic larval stage lasts 2-3 weeks (Fletcher and Amos, 1994). Once on land the growth rate is slow and it is estimated to take 8-10 years to reach the CNMI legal size limit of 3 inches (76mm) across the back (Brown and Fielder, 1991). On the southern islands (Rota, Saipan Tinian and Aguiguan), the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands – Division of Fish & Wildlife has established a legal crab hunting season from September 15 - November 15.

Lindsey Foreword The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) is a major source of drinking water for 25 million people of the State of California. Therefore, the quality of Delta water is an important consideration for its use as a drinking water source. However, Delta water quality may be degraded by a variety of sources and environmental factors. Close monitoring of Delta waters is necessary to ensure delivery of high quality source waters to urban water suppliers.

  • Delta Region Drinking Water Quality Management Plan

    Delta Region Drinking Water Quality Management Plan

    DELTA REGION DRINKING WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN DRAFT FINAL June 2005 Funding for this project was made possible by a CALFED Grant through the Drinking Water Quality Program This document was funded by the CALFED Water Quality Program as an initial effort to create Regional “Equivalent Level of Public Health Protection” Plans and to assist in establishing a uniform framework in such planning. It is not intended to be a final document. California Bay-Delta Authority and CALFED WQP Implementing Agency staff have not had the opportunity to review and comment on this document, and any opinions or interpretations of the CALFED program expressed within the document are solely those of its authors. The CALFED WQP is committed to working with these and other parties to continue development and refinement of Regional Plans. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2004, the CALFED Bay-Delta Program (CALFED) commissioned a pilot program for development of regional drinking water quality management plans (i) to identify the drinking water quality issues and needs of drinking water agencies in different regions of California and (ii) to develop solutions to address those needs. This Delta Region Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DRDWQMP) was developed jointly by Contra Costa Water District (CCWD), the city of Stockton (COS), and Solano County Water Agency (SCWA). Figure ES-1 shows the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) region, with an outline representing Delta boundaries as defined in California Water Code Section 12220, along with the service areas of the three participating agencies. These three agencies represent the largest urban water users within the Delta region.

Here we present a conceptual model of sedimentation that includes submodels for river supply from the watershed to the Delta, regional transport within the Delta and seaward exchange, and local sedimentation in open water and marsh habitats. The model demonstrates feedback loops that affect the Delta ecosystem. Submerged and emergent marsh vegetation act as ecosystem engineers that can create a positive feedback loop by decreasing suspended sediment, increasing water column eScholarship provides open access, scholarly publishing services to the University of California and delivers a dynamic research platform to scholars worldwide.

    Datum Errors for West Coast of the United States (California, Oregon, Washington)

    Tidal Datum Errors for West Coast of the United States (California, Oregon, Washington) Standard deviation (or accuracy) of Tidal Datum Computations: The time period necessary to incorporate all of the major astronomical tide producing cycles into the computation of a tidal datum is 19-years. All tidal datums are referenced to specific 19-year National Tidal Datum Epochs (NTDE). First reduction tidal datums are determined directly by averaging values of the tidal parameters over a 19-year NDTE. Errors in determination of tidal datums using First Reduction for the 19-year NTDE are theoretically zero. NTDE datums for short-term subordinate stations are computed and adjusted to a 19-year NTDE equivalent using simultaneous comparison with an appropriate nearby control station (NOS, 2003, Swanson, 1974, and Marmer, 1951). See Gill and Fisher, 2008: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/publications/Technical_Memorandum_NOS_COOPS_0048.pdf for the areas of coverage for tidal datum computation for each National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) control tide station. Errors in determination of tidal datums at short-term stations through the method of simultaneous comparison are known to be generally correlated with the length if the subordinate station observations, with geographic distance from the control station and with difference in range of tide and time of tide between control and subordinate stations. In applied research performed by Bodnar (1981), multiple curvilinear regression equations estimating the accuracy of computed 19-year equivalent tidal datums were developed. The formulas for Mean Low Water were adopted for use in estimating tidal datum errors because the low water differences express the effects of shallow water and bottom friction better than MHW.
