Geographic Regions of Cape Cod IRORF – Rev. A 6/28/02 Geographic Regions of Cape Cod IRORF – Rev. A 6/28/02 Report For The Towns of: Upper-Cape Region • Bourne • Falmouth • Mashpee • Sandwich The Human Condition 2001 Project IRORF – Rev. A 6/28/02 2-1 Upper-Cape LIMITATIONS OF THESE DATA The findings contained in the next four pages result from a survey of Upper-Cape residents conducted in Spring/Summer 2001 (“Household Survey”). One in every 48 Upper-Cape households was surveyed. While researchers made every attempt to survey a random sample of residents, there is no guarantee that these findings are representative of all Upper-Cape residents. Thus, the reader should consider these data to be indicators of the human condition in the Upper-Cape region. IRORF - Rev. A 6/28/02 2-2 Upper-Cape ** RESIDENT SURVEY RESULTS ** FOR UPPER-CAPE COD REGION RESIDENT SURVEY RESPONSES: Of the Upper-Cape households randomly selected for participation in The Human Condition 2001 Household Survey, 703 completed and returned the survey questionnaire. This number represents 28% of the total number of surveys collected across Barnstable County. A detailed Socio-Demographic Profile of the 703 Upper-Cape households sampled is provided in Appendix 2.B. The following two sections summarize the perspectives of these Upper- Cape households concerning important social issues, potential problem areas, and barriers to access to needed human services. RESIDENT PERSPECTIVES: Household-Level Issues: Upper-Cape respondents included on their list of problems (“household issues”) all twelve of the issues from the County’s Top Twelve Household Issues list, but in a considerably different rank order. Issues of not having adequate time for recreational activities and having trouble finding time to spend with spouse/partner appear to be of a higher priority in the Upper-Cape region than across the County as a whole. Top Household Issues: Upper-Cape Region* Finding time for exercise or to work out 50% Having a lot of anxiety or stress in the household 46% Finding time for friends, relatives, social activities 40% Inadequate time for recreation 39% Not being able to afford recreational activities 32% Inadequate time to spend with spouse/partner 32% A lot of depression in the household 29% Paying for or getting dental insurance 29% Not having enough money to pay the doctor, the dentist, or to buy 27% prescription medications Inadequate opportunities to learn new skills or for advancement at work 22% Not being able to afford legal help 22% Inadequate time to spend with child(ren) 22% * Towns of: Bourne, Falmouth, 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% Mashpee, and Sandwich Percent of Households Reporting a Minor-to-Major Problem IRORF - Rev. A 6/28/02 2-3 Upper-Cape “Feared a bad experience” with human services appears on the Upper-Cape’s Top Service Barriers list but is not on the comparable County list. Upper-Cape Service Barriers Compared With County Top Twelve Service Barriers RANK BARNSTABLE UPPER-CAPE COUNTY SERVICE BARRIER 1 1 Could not afford fees or costs for services 2 2 Cost of taking time away from work 3 3 Service(s) not accepting new patients/clients 4 5 Worried about the quality of service 5 4 Services located too far away 6 7 Had a bad experience in the past 7 6 Lacked information on where to go for services 8 8 Was not eligible for help 9 10 Service did not provide expected result 10 - Feared a bad experience 11 12 Lacked information on available services 12 9 Unable to take time away from work to go to services HOUSEHOLD “TIMELY TOPICS” QUESTIONS: Upper-Cape residents were asked a series of questions about conditions in their own household. The table on the following page provides highlights of responses to thirty-five “timely topic” questions as answered by the 703 Upper-Cape respondents. Census 2000 Profile of Upper-Cape Region: Within the past few months, the U.S. Census Bureau has released detailed social and economic statistics concerning the town on the Upper-Cape. The final section of the Upper- Cape Report provides a brief glimpse of these recent socio-demographic and socio-economic statistics on the region. Included are Census 2000 details on the permanent, year-round resident population of the Upper-Cape region by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, household make-up, income and poverty, and housing situation. Note: Census 2000 statistics for each of the four Upper-Cape towns are provided in the following Town Reports section. See Appendix 1.B for a much more complete set of official U.S. Census Bureau statistics concerning the Upper-Cape Cod region. IRORF - Rev.

  • Sea-Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington: Past, Present, and Future
    Sea-Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington: Past, Present, and Future As more and more states are incorporating projections of sea-level rise into coastal planning efforts, the states of California, Oregon, and Washington asked the National Research Council to project sea-level rise along their coasts for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, taking into account the many factors that affect sea-level rise on a local scale. The projections show a sharp distinction at Cape Mendocino in northern California. South of that point, sea-level rise is expected to be very close to global projections; north of that point, sea-level rise is projected to be less than global projections because seismic strain is pushing the land upward. ny significant sea-level In compliance with a rise will pose enor- 2008 executive order, mous risks to the California state agencies have A been incorporating projec- valuable infrastructure, devel- opment, and wetlands that line tions of sea-level rise into much of the 1,600 mile shore- their coastal planning.

This paper investigates natural and anthropogenic causes for coastal erosion and their relationship with established social and economic systems. Sea level rise, climate change, and other anthropogenic changes increase the rate of coastal erosion.

  • Rocky Intertidal, Mudflats and Beaches, and Eelgrass Beds
    Appendix 5.4, Page 1 Appendix 5.4 Marine and Coastline Habitats Featured Species-associated Intertidal Habitats: Rocky Intertidal, Mudflats and Beaches, and Eelgrass Beds A swath of intertidal habitat occurs wherever the ocean meets the shore. At 44,000 miles, Alaska’s shoreline is more than double the shoreline for the entire Lower 48 states (ACMP 2005). This extensive shoreline creates an impressive abundance and diversity of habitats. Five physical factors predominantly control the distribution and abundance of biota in the intertidal zone: wave energy, bottom type (substrate), tidal exposure, temperature, and most important, salinity (Dethier and Schoch 2000; Ricketts and Calvin 1968). The distribution of many commercially important fishes and crustaceans with particular salinity regimes has led to the description of “salinity zones,” which can be used as a basis for mapping these resources (Bulger et al. 1993; Christensen et al. 1997). A new methodology called SCALE (Shoreline Classification and Landscape Extrapolation) has the ability to separate the roles of sediment type, salinity, wave action, and other factors controlling estuarine community distribution and abundance. This section of Alaska’s CWCS focuses on 3 main types of intertidal habitat: rocky intertidal, mudflats and beaches, and eelgrass beds. Tidal marshes, which are also intertidal habitats, are discussed in the Wetlands section, Appendix 5.3, of the CWCS. Rocky intertidal habitats can be categorized into 3 main types: (1) exposed, rocky shores composed of steeply dipping, vertical bedrock that experience high-to- moderate wave energy; (2) exposed, wave-cut platforms consisting of wave-cut or low-lying bedrock that experience high-to-moderate wave energy; and (3) sheltered, rocky shores composed of vertical rock walls, bedrock outcrops, wide rock platforms, and boulder-strewn ledges and usually found along sheltered bays or along the inside of bays and coves.
