    Narragansett Bay User’s Guide Welcome to the Location File for Narragansett Bay! This bay reaches two-thirds of the way into the state of Rhode Island in the northeastern U.S. Narragansett Bay is a designated estuary of national significance and a habitat for hundreds of species, including winter flounder, lobster, hard shell clams, eel grass, and seals, throughout their life cycles. (Save the Bay®: People for Narragansett Bay, http://www.savebay.org/about_bay.htm). N Taunton Providence River River Warren- Barrington River Mt. Hope Bay Potowomut River West Sakonnet Passage River East Passage Dutch Is. Newport Narragansett Bay NOAA has created Location Files for different U.S. coastal regions to help you use the General NOAA Oil Modeling Environment, GNOME. In addition, on a case-by-case basis, NOAA develops international Location Files when working with specific partners. Each Location File contains information about local oceanographic conditions that GNOME uses to model oil spills in the area covered by that Location File. Each Location File also contains references (both 1 Narragansett Bay print publications and Internet sites) to help you learn more about the location you are simulating. As you work with the Location File for Narragansett Bay, GNOME will prompt you to: 1. Choose the model settings (start date and time, and run duration). 2. Input the wind conditions. GNOME will guide you through choosing the model settings and entering the wind conditions. Click the Help button anytime you need help setting up the model. Check the “Finding Wind Data” Help topic to see a list of web sites that publish wind data for this region.

  • Part II: Natural and Cultural Resources
    PART II NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES “Access to the water is the number one attraction for my family.... I love Pawtuxet Village, City Park, and Conimicut Point Park. These are areas I often visit [...] and feel like I’m on a mini vacation.”—WARWICK RESIDENT Nature and Parks An integrated “Green Systems Plan” that encompasses natural resources, open space, greenways, waterfronts, parks and recreation, and sustainability. > GREEN SYSTEMS: • “Green corridors” to connect open space and recreation land with walking and biking routes. • A goal of a park within walking distance of every resident. • Parks and open space maintenance guidelines, new funding options, and improved facilities and maintenance. • Policies and programs that protect, enhance and increase the city’s tree canopy. > BLUE SYSTEMS: • Natural resource areas and water bodies—including our 39 miles of coastline and five coves—protected by appropriate zoning and land use management. • Better water quality and habitat in freshwater and saltwater resources—Buckeye Brook, Warwick Pond, Greenwich Bay. • Protected coastal and fresh-water public access points. • A recreational “blueway” trail system on local waters. History and Culture • Incentives for historic preservation. • Enhanced review process in historic districts with more focused design guidelines. • A demolition-delay ordinance to promote reuse of historic buildings. • Promotion of arts and cultural activities and initiatives in City Centre Warwick and elsewhere as part of the city’s economic development strategy. 4 Natural Resources FROM A WARWICK RESIDENT “There is a whole community of people committed to improving the quality and treatment of our natural resources, the bay, the watersheds, [and] open lands.” 4.1 CITY OF WARWICK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2013–2033 PART II | CHAPTER 4 NATURAL RESOURCES A GOALS AND POLICIES GOALS POLICIES FOR DECISION MAKERS Warwick’s natural resource sys- • Support integrated strategies to protect and restore natural systems tems, sensitive water resources with desirable land use practices and management programs.
