Buller, Engineering Chief Designer In 1947-49, a 45 ft craft powered by a 1,200 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin was designed by Phillip Rhodes for Cdr D. 1VI. Hodgson RCSR of Montreal for an attempt on the existing water-speed record. At about this time, the Canadian Defense Research Board became interested in the potential operational employment of hydrofoils and Cdr. Hodgson's craft; named the R-100 Xassawippi (after Lake Massawippi, Quebec, the site of its construction and initial tests) was built under the Board's direction. Success of the Massaw-ippi, which displaced 7.5 tons and could reach 55 knots, led to an extensive experimental programme involving Massa- wippi and two subsequent craft, the Bras d'Or and RX. The Bras d'Or, designed and built by Saunders Roe for the Defense FHE prototype on slipway Research Board, was delivered in 1957. The RX is a fully instrumented test bed for testing a wide range of new foil designs. De Havilland have used the craft extensively during their design development programme for the FHE-400. The extensive test experience, t,ogether with that gained from the US programmes, led the Naval Research Establishment to prepare proposals for a 200-ton ASW hydrofoil capable of all-weather operation in the Nort,h Atlantic. At a tripartite conference in January 1960, a group of specialists from the CL'S and Britain reviewed these proposals and concluded that the extension of NRE's work to a prototype craft was desirable. This led to the design and construction of the FHE (fast hydrofoil escort) 400 by De Havilland Aircraft of Canada as design agent for the Canadian Government. F H E-400 In early 1961 the Canadian Department of Defence contracted De HavilIand Aircraft of Canada Ltd for a feasibility and engineering study, based on the NRE ASW hydrofoil I ---- report, which could lead 50 detailed design I i WL at 25 knots and construction of a full-scale craft.

  • 2010 Statewide Seabird and Shorebird Rooftop Nesting Survey in Florida FINAL REPORT
    2010 Statewide Seabird and Shorebird Rooftop Nesting Survey in Florida FINAL REPORT RICARDO ZAMBRANO and T. NATASHA WARRAICH Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission INTRODUCTION In Florida, seabirds and shorebirds typically nest on flat beaches, sandbars, and spoil islands, which have coarse sand or shells with little to no vegetation (Thompson et al. 1997). However, habitat loss due to coastal development, an increase in human disturbance, and increased predation by native and non-native species have likely contributed to beach nesting birds such as Least Terns (Sternula antillarum), Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger), Gull-billed Terns (Gelochelidon nilotica), Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii), and American Oystercatchers (Haematopus palliatus) increasingly nesting on tar-and- gravel roofs (Thompson et al. 1997; Zambrano et al. 2000; Douglass et al. 2001; Zambrano and Smith 2003; Lott 2006; Gore et al. 2008). A tar-and-gravel roof (hereafter a gravel roof) consists of a layer of tar spread over a roof, and then covered with a layer of gravel (DeVries and Forys 2004). This nesting behavior was first reported for Least Terns in Miami Beach, Florida in the early 1950s (J.K. Howard in Fisk 1978) and has since been recorded in Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas (Jackson and Jackson 1985; Krogh and Schweitzer 1999; Butcher et al. 2007). In Florida, Least Terns increasingly have used roofs for nesting and now they outnumber ground nesting colonies. Zambrano et al. (1997) found 93% of Least Terns breeding in southeast Florida nested on roofs and Gore et al. (2007) found that 84% of all Least Tern nesting pairs in Florida were on roofs.
