The information ranges from strategic, national assessments of coastal and estuarine environmental quality to real-time information for navigation or hazardous materials spill response. Through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program, ORCA uses uniform techniques to monitor toxic chemical contamination of bottom-feeding fish, mussels and oysters, and sediments at about 300 locations throughout the United States. A related NS&T Program of directed research examines the relationships between contaminant exposure and indicators of biological responses in fish and shellfish. Through the Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division (HAZMAT) Scientific Support Coordination program, ORCA provides critical scientific support for planning and responding to spills of oil or hazardous materials into coastal environments. Technical guidance includes spill trajectory predictions, chemical hazard analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of marine and estuarine environments to spills. To fulfill the responsibilities of the Secretary of Commerce as a trustee for living marine resources, HAZMAT’s Coastal Resource Coordination program provides technical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during all phases of the remedial process to protect the environment and restore natural resources at hundreds of waste sites each year.

  • Abstract Resumen
    BIOTROPICA 23(4a): 488-496 1991 Effects of Hurricane Gilbert on Birds in a Dry Tropical Forest in the Yucatan Peninsula 1 James F. Lynch Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, P.O. Box 28, Edgewater, Maryland 21037, U.S.A. ABSTRACT On 14 September 1988 Hurricane Gilbert, the strongest tropical storm ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere, passed through an area oftropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico, where I had been studying winter bird populations since 1984. The hurricane defoliated the forest, and created a nearly impenetrable tangle of fallen branches and vines at ground level. Point counts and mist-netting conducted 5-6 mo after the storm revealed an influx of field- and shrub-associated bird species. Most previously common insectivores and feeding generalists were present in February­ March 1989, but many had declined significantly in abundance. Resident frugivores and nectarivores were especially scarce after the hurricane. Wildfires that swept through northeastern Quintana Roo in the summer of 1989 had a greater effect on birds than did the storm itself. By late winter 1990 the bird community within unburned forest was clearly converging toward its prehurricane composition. In contrast, the bird community in burned forest resembled that associated with recently abandoned agricultural fields and pastures. As a group, overwintering nearctic migrants appeared to be more resilient than year-round residents to the effects of both the hurricane and the associated fires. RESUMEN El 14 de septiembre de 1988 de huracan Gilberto, la tormenta tropical mas fuerte registrada hasta ahora en el hemisferio occidental, paso a traves de un area de bosque tropical en Quintana Roo, Mexico, donde se habian estado estudiando poblaciones de pajaros de invierno desde 1984.

  • Yucatan Peninsula Independent Budget Birding August 11-20, 2016
    Mexico: Yucatan Peninsula Independent Budget Birding August 11-20, 2016 Ross and Melissa Gallardy ww.budgetbirders.com Summary: Birding the Yucatan Peninsula is very straight forward. All of the birding spots are easily accessible, the roads are wide, paved, and in great condition, and people (away from the super touristy areas) are very friendly. Although it took us 10 days to cover this area, a dedicated birding trip covering all areas could be completed in a few less days. My itinerary was a bit complicated as I spent a few days birding before returning to the Cancun area for a wedding and then resumed birding for a few more days. This report covers the main birding areas we visited discussing directions/access, general birding advice/strategy for each location, and any additional logistics with regards to costs. August isn’t an ideal time to visit this area of Mexico due to the lack of neotropical migrants and hot weather, but overall I was very pleased with the bird activity. The biggest inconvenience was the number of mosquitos, which were very prevalent at most locations. At the end of the report I’ve included a list of the “better” birds encountered on the Yucatan Peninsula and where to find them. I finished the 10 day trip with 181 species including almost all of the regional endemics. Overall, the total cost (including international airfare) for my wife and I was $1,554.83 Resources: Websites: As usual, xeno-canto, cloudbirders, and eBird were extremely valuable resources in researching and preparing for the trip.

The dinners and picnic lunches were excellent and our two superb drivers helped things run smoothly. Our local guide knew many of the key birding spots and we soon racked up a great list of sought after species. One of the real highlights was going out on a boat trip from Rio Lagartos where we enjoyed superb views of many water birds, including American Flamingos, Reddish Egrets darting around, terns, pelicans, a Morelet’s Crocodile and even Common Black Hawks sat around looking for a hand out. The dry thorny scrub produced many more species and a special treat was visiting Muyil Ruins where we not only enjoyed some excellent archaeology but also some great wildlife which including 6 Ocellated Turkeys, many other nice birds and an amazing experience with the loudest Yucatan Black Howler monkey in existence.

  • Ecological Assessment of the Flamingo Mangroves, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
    Ecological Assessment of the Flamingo Mangroves, Guanacaste, Costa Rica Derek A. Fedak & Marie Windstein Advisors: Curtis J. Richardson & Charlotte R. Clark Nicholas School of the Environment Duke University Spring 2011 Abstract Mangroves are tropical and subtropical ecosystems found in intertidal zones that provide vital ecosystem services including sustenance of commercially important fishery species, improvement of coastal water quality through nutrient cycling and sediment interception, and protection of coastal communities from storm surge and erosion. However, land use conversion and water pollution are threatening these ecosystems and their associated services worldwide. This master’s project conducted an ecological assessment on a mangrove forest adjoining the property of the Flamingo Beach Resort and Spa in Playa Flamingo, located in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica. The project analyzed vegetation health, water and soil quality, bird species richness, and identified threats to the forest. It also assessed several options for the resort’s development of ecotourism, such as community involvement, the construction of an educational boardwalk, and the creation of a vegetation buffer adjoining the mangroves. The results indicate that the Flamingo Mangroves are generally in a healthy state. Vegetation structure like canopy height, biomass, vegetation importance values, and species distribution compares well with previous ecological studies on mature tidal mangroves. The ecosystem supports 42 resident bird species and likely up to 30 migratory species. However, water quality is a major concern, which reported elevated levels of nitrogen and phosphorus through runoff and discharged wastewater in the northern section of the forest. Additionally, the western edge of the forest adjoining the beach road is frequently disturbed by automotive traffic and runoff, displaying reduced or stunted vegetation and sandy soil.

ROTENBERG,1,4 JACOB MARLIN,2 SAM MEACHAM,3 AND SHARNA TOLFREE2 1Department of Environmental Studies, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, North Carolina, USA; 2Belize Foundation for Research and Environmental Education (BFREE), P.O. Box 129, Punta Gorda, Belize; and 3El Centro Investigador del Sistema Aquífero de Quintana Roo (CINDAQ), Retorno Copan Lote 85, Manzana 22, Playacar Fase 2, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico 77710 Abstract. Historically, research and monitoring of fl ora and fauna in the protected areas of the Maya Mountains Massif (MMM) of Belize have been conducted primarily by foreign scientists. This is par- ticularly true in areas such as the Bladen Nature Reserve (BNR) where its strict category of protection prevents even tourism as a means of alternative livelihoods for locals. Past studies have had little to no direct benefi ts (economic or educational) to buffer zone villages that border the BNR. What benefi ts that have been received are short-term in nature, and have had a strong negative impact on the local population’s appreciation of the protected areas themselves. Locals perceive the parks as a benefi t only for non-Belizeans. Our goal is to build capacity for avian conservation in the Maya Mountains by enhancing the links between protected areas and their surrounding communities. To achieve this goal, our project begins with a community-based alternative livelihood strengthening program for the development of a core group of avian technicians from buffer zone villages, and provides the tools for the acquisition of science based skills related to their work as parabiologists.

    Notes on the vocalizations of Mangrove Vireo (Vireo pallens) Peter Boesman In the following we briefly analyze and compare voice of the different races of Mangrove Vireo (Vireo pallens). We also try to quantify the extent of any vocal differences using the criteria proposed by Tobias et al. (2010), as a support for taxonomic review. We have made use of sound recordings available on-line from Xeno Canto (XC) and Macaulay Library (ML). Song of all races (for which recordings are available) is a repetition of a single note. Pace and number of repetitions is variable. The repeated note is usually burry or scratchy, but is also highly variable. In the following we identify different 'note types' of the Caribbean mainland races, and try to look for equivalents in the Pacific populations: 1. descending burry note "chew-chew-chew-chew..." ( 2 out of 10 recordings of Caribbean side) Best fit from Pacific 2. sligthly underslurred buzzy note ( 2 out of 10 recordings of Caribbean side) Best fit from Pacific: 1 3. Distinct V shape with burry end (4 out of 10 recordings ) Best fit from Pacific 4. Overslurred burry note Best fit from Pacific From the above, it is clear that many 'note types' from the Caribbean mainland have an equivalent in the population from S Mexico to Costa Rica. these notes are not necessarily identical, but given the variability and number of available samples, one can only say there is no obvious difference. Voice of angulensis sometimes said to differ, e.g. HBW Alive (Brewer 2015) states: "in Bay Is (angulensis) a complex series of buzzes, chirps and warbles".
