  • Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay
    Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report November 2018 Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report Donna A. Milligan C. Scott Hardaway, Jr. Christine A. Wilcox Shoreline Studies Program Virginia Institute of Marine Science William & Mary This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA17NOS4190152 Task 92.02 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies. November 2018 Page | 1 1 Introduction The Commonwealth of Virginia owns numerous tidal, waterfront properties along Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries including state parks, natural area preserves, and wildlife management areas. Many of these parks have eroding shorelines and are at risk from coastal hazards such as tidal flooding, waves, and sea level rise. These environmental threats impact the safety of park visitors and the mission of the parks. In an effort to address these issues for the parks as well as provide education to the public on living shoreline management strategies, eleven state parks with tidal shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were selected because of their suitablility for living shoreline demonstration projects (Figure 1). These parks: Belle Isle, Caledon, Chippokes, First Landing, Kiptopeke, Leesylvania, Mason Neck, Middle Peninsula, Westmoreland, Widewater, and York River, are spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay and have a variety of coastal conditions due to their locations and underlying geology.

  • A Guide to Paddle-In Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay
    A Guide to Paddle-in Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay By Ralph Heimlich Kayak touring involves a group loading their boats with all the camping gear and supplies needed for a several-day paddle. Ideally, launches and camping spots for kayak touring are spaced about a day’s paddle apart, say 10-12 miles for the average paddler. Another requirement is that the launch spot should be reasonably secure so that you have some assurance of finding an operable vehicle when you arrive back from the trip trying to drive home. This is a catalog of 57 formal paddle-in sites I know of on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. Contact me if I’ve missed any that you know about. There are numerous other “unofficial” (commando) sites that people have used. These are not suitable for groups or organized group trips. Patuxent River—The many sites along the Patuxent Water Trail are shown on the Patuxent Water Trail site (http://patuxentwatertrail.org/, and on the printed Patuxent River Water Trail Guide and GPS-ready Map by Dave Linthicum available at http://paxriverkeeper.org/product/patuxent-watertrail-navigation- map-non-waterproof-edition/. Paddle-in sites are listed by river mile (measured from the mouth of the Patuxent) and from upstream to downstream. Generally, these sites have a picnic table, fire ring, porta- potty and no water (exceptions noted). Reservations should be made well ahead of your planned trip since the process can be time consuming. Iron Pot Landing (River mile 44A (45 on the map))—This site is located just below the Billingsley Point manor house on Western Branch.

  • CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN for the AMERICAN BLACK DUCK, First Edition 2011
    CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN FOR THE AMERICAN BLACK DUCK, First Edition 2011 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Division of Migratory Bird Management Prepared by: Patrick K. Devers (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) Brigitte Collins (Environment Canada-Canadian Wildlife Service) American Black Duck Conservation Action Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The American black duck (Anas rubripes) was selected as a Focal Species due to its conser­ vation need, representation of salt-marsh and boreal species needs, and high level of current program effort and existing partnerships. The black duck population experienced a severe decline of >50% between the 1950s and 1990s. Today, the black duck population appears stable but below desired abundance. Monitoring data including spring abundance, winter abundance and productivity paint a mixed picture of the stability and sustainability of the population. Researchers and managers have not reached consensus regarding current limiting factors. Major threats to the black duck include, but are not limited to: • Loss and degradation of boreal forest (i.e., breeding grounds) due to economic devel­ opment including hydro-electric, mining, timber, and agricultural activities. • Loss and degradation of wintering grounds, particularly coastal salt marsh due to urban expansion, pollution, recreational activities, and sea-level rise. • Predicted changes due to climate change, including shifts in temperature and pre­ cipitation patterns and phenology that will exacerbate current limiting factors and potentially expose black ducks to novel limiting factors such as diseases. Priority conservation and management actions include: • Development of a revised breeding population goal based on the best available science. • Development of harvest and habitat adaptive management frameworks to guide deci­ sions and reduce key uncertainties.
