The county was established in 1658. Flower The wild carrot, also called Queen Anne’s Lace, is commonly found along roads and through fields. Queen Anne’s Lace is a biennial with 1 to 3 foot stems and lacy flowers that do not blossom until their second year. Tree The Dogwood tree produces beautiful flowers each Spring. These flowers are usually small and have four or five petals. The berries that appear in the Fall are commonly eaten by birds in the winter. Bird The Great Blue Heron is the nation’s tallest bird. The bird is abundant along rivers and creeks and is a superb fisherman. Page 47 Attractions Our Past Preserved.... La Plata Train Station This historic building recalls the railroad’s impact on Charles County during the growth boom of the late 1800's. Port Tobacco Courthouse Settled in 1634, Port Tobacco was once Maryland’s second largest seaport and was listed on early World Maps. This settlement was originally the site of the Indian Village of Potopaco. Port Tobacco was the first county seat, but after the river began silting up and after a shift of occupations from tobacco farming to other trades and industry people moved to the town of La Plata where the new railroad was being built. The county seat was eventually moved to La Plata. The first Charles County Courthouse was completed in 1729, and a second one in 1819.

  • II. Background
    II. Background This chapter provides background information that was used as a basis for formulating the Preliminary Subregion 5 Master Plan and Proposed Sectional Map Amendment. Section A, Planning Context and Process, describes the location of the study area, the purposes of this master plan, prior plans and initiatives, and the public process used to prepare this master plan. Section B, Existing Conditions, contains profiles of Subregion 5 including the area’s history, demographic, economic, environmental, transportation and land use information. Section C, Key Issues, summarizes the key planning issues that are addressed in this master plan. A. Planning Context and Process Master Plan Study Area Boundaries The master plan study area includes land in south and southwest Prince George’s County generally bounded by the Potomac River, Tinkers Creek, Andrews Air Force Base, Piscataway Creek, the CSX (Popes Creek) railroad line, Mattawoman Creek, and the Charles County line. The subregion is approximately 74 square miles of land, equivalent to 15 percent of the total land area of Prince George’s County (See Map II-1, page 2). Within these boundaries are established and new residential neighborhoods, medical services, schools, commercial and industrial businesses, large retail centers, a regional park, two general aviation airports, a national park, environmental education centers, sand and gravel mining operations, a golf course, agriculture, and large forested areas. (See discussion of communities in section B. 6. and in Chapter IV, Land Use—Development Pattern.) For this master plan, Subregion 5 encompasses the following three communities (See Map II-2, page 3) in Planning Areas 81A, 81B, 83, 84, and 85A1.

    Precision-Built High Performance Big Game Fishing Tackle Committed To Preserving Our Marine Resources • High Performance Big Game Fishing Tackle • A Tradition Of Excellence • A Spirit Of Innovation • A Commitment To Marine Conservation THE AFTCO STORY It all originated with J. C. Axelson, an avid angler with a state of the art machine shop in the basement of his double-lot, bay-front home on Lido Island in Newport Beach, California. In 1958, having not found a roller guide and top on the market that met his standards for quality and manufacturing excellence, J. C. established the Axelson Fishing Tackle Company. In his endeavor, he spared no expense in developing legendary AFTCO® roller guides and tops in that now famous basement. Over time, Axelson’s company became known simply as AFTCO® and our logo became widely recognized AFTCO founder J. C. Axelson was an avid fisherman around the big-game fishing world. Increasingly, people began (above left), but he was even more passionate about his ® work in developing now legendary AFTCO roller guides. to assume that AFTCO meant the “American Fishing Tackle Company”, so rather than fight that belief, the company officially dropped the “Axelson” name and adopted American Fishing Tackle Company® as the official meaning of AFTCO®. In 1973 Milt and Peggie Shedd purchased AFTCO® and a new company evolved with a concern for both the fishing customer and marine resources. Milt was not only a successful Milt Shedd gets an affectionate greeting from Shamu at businessman and legendary Southern California angler and Sea World.

  • INSHORE FISH AGGREGATION DEVICES Their Deployment and Use
    SPC/Fishenes 24/WP 10 Page 1 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH SOUTH PACIFIC COMMISSION TWENTY-FOUR REGIONAL TECHNICAL MEETING ON FISHERIES (Noumea, New Caledonia, 3-7 August 1992) INSHORE FISH AGGREGATION DEVICES Their deployment and use. (Paper prepared by the Secretariat) INTRODUCTION 1 Growing regional interest in the development of domestic tuna fisheries has inspired a parallel interest in fish aggregation device (FAD) programme development. The 22nd RTMF reflected this interest in its focus on FADs. At the direction of that meeting the DSFDP has increased its efforts to provide both practical FAD assistance and development work in offshore FAD technology and exploitation. In addition, as directed by the 22nd RTMF, the Project has widened the scope of its activities to include, among other things, an ongoing effort to develop effective technology and exploitation techniques for FADs set in shallow inshore waters, most often for the particular purpose of aggregating baitfish species. 2. Apart from appropriate gear, the single most important ingredient for successful mid- water tuna fishing techniques, such as vertical and horizontal longlining and mid-water handlining, is the availability of suitable bait. It is widely recognised among Pacific island fisherman that small pelagic species such as big-eye scad (Seiar crumenophthalmus) and round scad (Decapterus spp.). which are widely known in the region by variations of the common Polynesian names of atule and opeta respectively, being a natural prey of tuna, make for superior bait. 3 These and some other small pelagic species also provide a seasonal source of food fish in some areas and fisherman have learned a good deal on a localised basis about the seasonal occurrence and behaviour of these, fishes.

Salmon, for the months of dedicated research, mapping, and analysis that led to the production of this important study. In all, more than 35 pro- fessionals, including professors and students representing six universities, American Indian representatives, consultants, public agency representatives, and community leaders contributed to this report. Each person brought an extraordinary depth of knowledge, keen insight and a personal devotion to the project. We are especially grateful for the generous financial support that we received from the following private foundations, organizations and corporate partners: The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, The Clay- ton Fund, Inc., Colcom Foundation, The Conservation Fund, Lockheed Martin, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Merrill Foundation, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Rauch Foundation, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, Verizon, Virginia Environmental Endowment and the Wallace Genetic Foundation. Without their support this project would simply not have been possible. Finally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the board of directors of the Chesapeake Conser- vancy, and to John Maounis, Superintendent of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, for their leadership and unwavering commitment to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake Trail.
