Covering more than 450 square miles of tidal shoreline, backbay islands, marsh creeks, and pine/oak forests, the Barnegat Bay region is a delight to those whose primary interest is natural resources. With a resident population of 450,000, which doubles (and sometimes triples) during the summer months, the Barnegat Bay region functions as a premier tourist and vacation destination in the New Jersey- Pennsylvania-New York area. Yet a surprisingly small percentage of residents and visitors are knowledgeable about Barnegat Bay’s astonishing ecological diversity, integrity, and long-term conservation requirements. It was to address the need for a better awareness and understanding of open space in the Bay watershed and to celebrate the Barnegat Bay region that the Trust for Public Land undertook the Century Plan. By way of background, the Barnegat Bay is a coastal estuary (some scientists label it a coastal “lagoon”) roughly 40 miles long and one to four miles wide. As an estuary, Barnegat Bay is a place where fresh and salt water combine in a shallow, productive, and delicately balanced aquatic environment which allows sunlight to reach the Bay floor. About 75 percent of the Bay is less than six feet deep at mean low tide, while overall depth varies from three to twenty feet. Perhaps most astonishing is the Barnegat Bay's low rate of tidal exchange (defined as the proportion of water escaping seaward each tidal cycle). With a nearly unbroken chain of barrier islands that form a seaward cap, the complete turnover of water in the Barnegat Bay occurs once every 96 tidal cycles, about every 50 days. Given this incredibly low rate of “flushing,” the pollutants, sewer effluent, and urban runoff that enter the Bay — directly or through upland creeks and watersheds — remain for a decidedly long time! As our population continues its inevitable growth and coastal expansion, so must we redouble our activities to “buffer” the Barnegat Bay by conserving for future generations key recreational lands and remaining open spaces. Since 1991 the Trust for Public Land (TPL) has managed to acquire and protect over 3,500 acres in the Barnegat Bay watershed with a market value exceeding $18 million. However, we cannot do it alone. True land conservation is a partnership effort — one that combines the ideals of citizens with the capacity of government and enlightened action of private property management. There are great benefits in creating parks and reserves by placing open space under municipal, county, state, or federal jurisdiction. It must be stressed, however, that private land ownership remains an effective conservation approach, particularly when reinforced with ecological information and preferred management techniques. As a study of potential conservation lands, the Century Plan serves as a compendium of sites that TPL believes are of long-term importance to the Barnegat Bay as an ecosystem and a treasured public resource. The order of site listing does not, in any fashion, constitute a ranking. 4 The Century Plan was meticulously researched and written over an eighteen-month period by Peter P. Blanchard, III, TPL’s field biologist, whose eye for habitat, history, and culture was enhanced by many friends and interviewees throughout the Bay region, to whom we owe so very much. From the tidal flats to the bog to the forested upland, from sites of two acres to those of twenty thousand, Peter gained a profound respect for the intricacies and mysteries of the Bay region, a respect that we trust will be communicated through the pages which follow. Beyond its role as a catalyst for land protection efforts, the Century Plan is a celebration of the Barnegat Bay and its watershed. We hope the Century Plan will survive as a “good read” for those who use the Barnegat Bay: the naturalists, boaters, fishermen, hunters, beachcombers, birdwatchers, and (yes) motorists, who might pause to recall that all conservation is, ultimately, local. Andrew L. Strauss The Trust for Public Land Morristown, New Jersey Bay Islands eemingly suspended in time and yet forever changing, islands lie at the heart of the Bay landscape. In meeting the dictionary definition of “a land mass, especially one smaller than a continent, entirely S surrounded by water,” an island, in whole or in part, must be exposed at high tide. Thus the thousands of shoals, sandbars, and mudflats that are rimmed by salt water and exposed only at low tides do not qualify. An approximate number of islands in Barnegat Bay and its southern reach, Little Egg Harbor, is 165. The exact number of islands is hard to pin down, as dynamic change characterizes the meeting of marine and terrestrial environments. Over decades and centuries, islands have been created as high tides and storm surges carved out pieces of larger landforms or as inlets in the Bay’s barrier islands have permitted the Atlantic Ocean to bring in sediment. Man has had a distinctive role in island creation through the dredging of channels and the deposition of dredge spoil. Islands marked on nautical charts in this decade have disappeared beneath the waves, victims of erosion, augmented by rising sea level. Bay islands generally fall into two categories, sedge islands or dredge spoil islands. Sedge islands are composed chiefly of marsh grasses and their substrate — a peat mat containing plant materials and sediment. Dredge spoil islands consist of sand and sediments removed from the Bay floor in dredging operations. The latter largely artificial land masses are discussed in the section on restoration/recreation sites.

  • Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) CLAUDIO APORTA1
    ARCTIC VOL. 56, NO. 4 (DECEMBER 2003) P. 321–327 New Ways of Mapping: Using GPS Mapping Software to Plot Place Names and Trails in Igloolik (Nunavut) CLAUDIO APORTA1 (Received 11 July 2001; accepted in revised form 10 February 2003) ABSTRACT. The combined use of a GPS receiver and mapping software proved to be a straightforward, flexible, and inexpensive way of mapping and displaying (in digital or paper format) 400 place names and 37 trails used by Inuit of Igloolik, in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. The geographic coordinates of some of the places named had been collected in a previous toponymy project. Experienced hunters suggested the names of additional places, and these coordinates were added on location, using a GPS receiver. The database of place names thus created is now available to the community at the Igloolik Research Centre. The trails (most of them traditional, well-traveled routes used in Igloolik for generations) were mainly mapped while traveling, using the track function of a portable GPS unit. Other trails were drawn by experienced hunters, either on paper maps or electronically using Fugawi mapping software. The methods employed in this project are easy to use, making them helpful to local communities involved in toponymy and other mapping projects. The geographic data obtained with this method can be exported easily into text files for use with GIS software if further manipulation and analysis of the data are required. Key words: Inuit place names, Inuit trails, mapping, Geographic Information System, GIS, Global Positioning System, GPS, Igloolik, toponymy RÉSUMÉ.

Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

  • Genre and Metapoetics in Vergil's Eclogues and Georgics
    Writing Poems on Trees: Genre and Metapoetics in Vergil’s Eclogues and Georgics by John H. Henkel A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: James O’Hara, Advisor Sharon James, Reader Stephen Harrison, Reader James Rives, Reader William Race, Reader Oc 2009 John H. Henkel ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract JOHN H. HENKEL: Writing Poems on Trees: Genre and Metapoetics in Vergil’s Eclogues and Georgics. (Under the direction of James O’Hara.) This dissertation seeks to provide firmer grounding for the study of metapoetics in Roman poetry by investigating Vergil’s use of metapoetic narrative, symbolism, and metaphor in the Eclogues and Georgics. I argue that Vergil’s patterning of characters in the Eclogues after existing narratives, his discussion of farming in the Georgics, and the related references to trees and shade in the Eclogues, can be read as reflecting metaphorically on the theory and practice of poetry in Rome in the late first century BCE. By comparing Vergil’s discussions of trees and farming with passages of explicit literary criticism in Horace, Cicero, and others, I show that Vergil structures the Eclogues and Georgics in a way that allows references to agriculture and the natural world to be read as metaphors not only for life, as some Georgics scholars have shown, but also for poetry. My first chapter demonstrates my method by discussing a specific, pointed allusion to Aratus and his Hellenistic reception in Vergil’s passage on the farmer’s nighttime activities (Geo.

  • Northern Perceptions of Climate Change
    Northern Percep,ons of Climate Change by Clarissa Jewell supervised by Andrew S. Medeiros A Major Project submi<ed to the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change in parCal fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada April 22, 2021 ABSTRACT Inuit living in the circumpolar North have faced a number of rapid changes in the last century with the shiP from nomadic to permanent se<lements and the lingering negaCve effects of colonialism, now further challenged by the impacts of climate change. Currently, Iqaluit and other communiCes in Nunavut are at risk of running out of fresh water as they face factors including changing hydrological systems, increased populaCon, ageing and inadequate infrastructure, and resource development (Bakaic & Medeiros 2017; Daley et al. 2014). Knowledge translaCon may be an essenCal tool for communicaCng these changes, both to Inuit and Western people, and be<er facilitate adaptaCon and miCgaCon strategies relaCng to climate change and water. This Major Project comprises three deliverables all with the aim of educaCng a different audience about issues including climate change, Inuit and Northern perspecCves, and environmental racism. I have created 1) a children’s magazine arCcle about monitoring climate change in the North using paleolimnology; 2) a journal arCcle for Western academia that cauCons about ignoring the socio-economic realiCes of Inuit daily lives; and 3) a magazine arCcle for teenagers that talks about environmental racism and the North. Key findings from my research include that there is embedded racism within climate change, that there is a need for climate communicaCon to be done in a respec`ul and culturally appropriate way, and that social issues were idenCfied as equally important to climate issues for some people living in places of rapid environmental change.
