Scattergood ~'" and Clyde C. Taylor -~H;~ ' INTRODUCTION This is the second of three papers concerning the World War II efforts to develop a mussel fishery in the North Atlantic region. The first article dealt with the survey to discover whether supplies o! mussels were great enough to sup­ port a large fishery. The present paper is concerned with biolcgical and techno­ logical observations made during the mussel survey. SIZES OF MUSSELS Table 3 reveals some interesting characteristics of the size distribution of the mussels on the beds. An examination of the table shows that there are many localities in which there is no well defined and distinct mode indicative of the young from the summer's set. Only Pleasant River, Narraguagus ~ , . ' :' Ri ver, Winter Harbor, and Dux­ ~. bury Bay have such modes. The absence of distinct year-size groups is even more a pparent in the areas below low tide at Ingall's Island, Jim's Island, Moon Ledge, Skillings River, Sheep Island, Mackerel Cove, Maddaket Harbor, and off Brew­ ster. In ttese eight local­ 6 ities, between 92.7 and 100 percent of the mussels were SOME OF THE MUSSEL'S ENEMIES: over two inches in length. I .

Over 120 estuaries are included (Appendix 3), representing over 90 percent of the estuarine surface water and freshwater inflow to the coastal regions of the contiguous United States. Each estuary is defined spatially by an estuarine drainage area (EDA)—the land and water area of a watershed that directly affects the estuary. The EDAs provide a framework for organizing information and for conducting analyses between and among systems. To date, ORCA has compiled a broad base of descriptive and analytical information for the NEI. Descriptive topics include physical and hydrologic characteristics, distribution and abundance of selected fishes and inver- tebrates, trends in human population, building permits, coastal recreation, coastal wetlands, classified shellfish growing waters, organic and inorganic pollutants in fish tissues and sediments, point and nonpoint pollution for selected parameters, and pesticide use. Analytical topics include relative susceptibility to nutrient discharges, structure and variability of salinity, habitat suitability modeling, and socioeconomic assessments. For a list of publications or more information about the NEI, contact C. John Klein, Chief, Physical Environ- ments Characterization Branch, at the address below.

Januar 1950 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC REGION ~RT J --THE SURVEY TO DISCOVER THE LOCATIONS AND AREAS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC MUSSEL-PRODUCING BEDS By Leslie W. Scattergood~~ and Clyde C, Taylor ~d~ '!his is the first of three papers discussing the World War II pro­ motion of the North Atlantic mussel fishery. The present article is primarily concerned "'i th the quantitative resul ts of a survey of the productivi~ of mussel areas. INTRODUCTION During the recent war, the fishing industry had tte problem of increasing its production despite relative shortages of manpower, equipment, and materials o One of the ways of efficiently augmenting the catch of fish and shellfish was to uti­ lize species ordinarily disregarded. One of the probable sources of sea food was the edible mussel (yGtilus edulis), which is so common along , the North Atlantic Coast of the United States. This species cap be harvested dur­ ing that time of the year when the small-boat fishery is least active. In the late winter and the spring months, the mussels a,re in good con­ dition for marketing, as it is then that they reach their fattest condition, and in this period other fishing activities are at a low level. The mussel, although relatively unknown to the American public p has attained great popularity in Europe. Large quantities have been consumed in European coun­ tries for hundreds of yearso The annual English, Welsh, and Scotch production of this shellfish, as re­ corded in the statistical reports of the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fish­ eries" ave,raged about 19 million pounds ("in the shell" weight) for the lS-year period between 1924 and 1938.

  • Setting the Stage for a Course Change at Popham Beach, Phippsburg
    Setting the Stage for a Course Change Maine Geological Survey Maine Geologic Facts and Localities February, 2011 Setting the Stage for a Course Change at Popham Beach, Phippsburg 43° 44‘ 2.36“ N, 69° 47‘ 39.29“ W Text by Stephen M. Dickson Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 1 Setting the Stage for a Course Change Maine Geological Survey Introduction Popham Beach in Phippsburg, Maine has changed dramatically in the last two decades. As regular visitors to the beach have observed, the beach and dunes are different from one year to the next. In 1990 the beach was backed by an enormous dune field and visitors walked long paths to reach the shoreline. Even in 2005 there were large dunes in the area of Center Beach (Figure 1). Maine Geological Survey From Maine Office Maine of GIS Office From Figure 1. Location map of Popham Beach State Park, adjacent beaches, and water bodies. Note the background air photo was taken in 2005 and shows a large vegetated dune field near Center Beach. The sand bar from the park out to Fox Islands is called a tombolo by geologists. Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Setting the Stage for a Course Change Maine Geological Survey Introduction By 2010 the shoreline was hundreds of feet closer to the parking lot and encroaching on a new bath house. In addition, the last few years have seen hundreds of large pitch pine trees topple onto the beach as a result of erosion driven by the Morse River cutting a long and sinuous path in an easterly direction into the state park before turning south to reach the ocean.
