  • Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay
    Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report November 2018 Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report Donna A. Milligan C. Scott Hardaway, Jr. Christine A. Wilcox Shoreline Studies Program Virginia Institute of Marine Science William & Mary This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA17NOS4190152 Task 92.02 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies. November 2018 Page | 1 1 Introduction The Commonwealth of Virginia owns numerous tidal, waterfront properties along Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries including state parks, natural area preserves, and wildlife management areas. Many of these parks have eroding shorelines and are at risk from coastal hazards such as tidal flooding, waves, and sea level rise. These environmental threats impact the safety of park visitors and the mission of the parks. In an effort to address these issues for the parks as well as provide education to the public on living shoreline management strategies, eleven state parks with tidal shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were selected because of their suitablility for living shoreline demonstration projects (Figure 1). These parks: Belle Isle, Caledon, Chippokes, First Landing, Kiptopeke, Leesylvania, Mason Neck, Middle Peninsula, Westmoreland, Widewater, and York River, are spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay and have a variety of coastal conditions due to their locations and underlying geology.

Hounshell, Chair Professor Jay Aronson Professor John Soluri Professor Joel A. Tarr Professor Steven Usselman (Georgia Tech) © 2011 Lee Jared Vinsel ii Dedication For the Vinsels, the McFaddens, and the Middletons and for Abigail, who held the ship steady iii Abstract Federal Regulatory Management of the Automobile in the United States, 1966–1988 by LEE JARED VINSEL Dissertation Director: Professor David A. Hounshell Throughout the 20th century, the automobile became the great American machine, a technological object that became inseparable from every level of American life and culture from the cycles of the national economy to the passions of teen dating, from the travails of labor struggles to the travels of “soccer moms.” Yet, the automobile brought with it multiple dimensions of risk: crashes mangled bodies, tailpipes spewed toxic exhausts, and engines “guzzled” increasingly limited fuel resources. During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States Federal government created institutions—primarily the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration within the Department of Transportation and the Office of Mobile Source Pollution Control in the Environmental Protection Agency—to regulate the automobile industry around three concerns, namely crash safety, fuel efficiency, and control of emissions. This dissertation examines the growth of state institutions to regulate these three concerns during the 1960s and 1970s through the 1980s when iv the state came under fire from new political forces and governmental bureaucracies experienced large cutbacks in budgets and staff.

The rally will be based out of Kiptopeke State Park, the site of several [email protected] Nlong-term bird-monitoring projects. This article introduces folks to Kiptopeke’s rich Robert J. Reilly birdlife, as well as to the human personalities who have been instrumental to understanding Powhatan, Virginia and protecting the birds that pass through Kiptopeke each year on fall migration. [email protected] he Delmarva Peninsula, with barrier islands and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Tbroad Chesapeake Bay to the west, narrows dramatically as you approach its southern tip. Kiptopeke Beach lies three miles north of this southern tip, and at that point the peninsula is just two and a half miles wide, with the bay stretching 23 miles to the west. Below the peninsula’s southern tip and adjacent Fisherman Island, the mouth of the bay presents 11 miles of open water before reaching the mainland. The Delmarva becomes a focal point for great numbers of migrating birds, exhausted and seeking landfall at the close of a night’s migration. Many choose to stop, rest, and feed before venturing again over open water, and, as dawn arrives, many of these migrants form loose flocks and work back north from the tip in search of food. Kiptopeke lies directly in the path of many of these foraging songbirds. Kiptopeke is where, on a September day in 1962, a birder returning from the offshore bar - rier islands was awaiting the ferry to Norfolk.

  • Industrial Hamilton's Contribution to the Naval War Chris Madsen
    Industrial Hamilton's Contribution to the Naval War Chris Madsen Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les centres urbains et industriels du Canada central comme Hamilton, ont entrepris la production de matériaux pour répondre aux besoins de la marine militaire et de la marine marchande. Certaines compagnies de Hamilton ayant acquis des contrats lies a la marine nécessiterent donC l'implantation d'installations specialisés ainsi qu'une augmentation du personnel ouvrier. Du cote industriel, cette mise en oeuvre impliqua l'utilisation de plaques de tole pour la construction des navires, la fabrication et l'installation des machines et des composantes electriques a bord des navires, la fourniture d'équipement aux dragueurs de mines, la fabrication de barges en acier ainsi que la fabrication de divers articles pour la marine. C 'est ainsi qu 'Hamilton a pu faire sa part pour la guerre en mer. The materiel needs and technical complexities of modern navies tax the industrial capacity of states, particularly in times of wartime emergency. Alfred Thayer Mahan, the noted American historian and naval strategist writing over a hundred years ago, identified the wider relation between effective development of sea power and national resources in terms of people and economic potential.1 In normal times of peacetime activity, navies are capital intensive and customarily have long procurement cycles. However, when war or other crisis comes, navies and the industries that support them face remarkable demands for expansion and growth in a compressed time span, to meet immediate maritime threats. In Canada's case during the Second World War, Canadian industry moved into novel lines of marine and munitions manufacture and produced key equipment for the Royal Canadian Navy, the British Royal Navy, and merchant marines within months and years.2 The prevailing image of a miraculous record of wartime production, carefully nurtured during and after the war, has come under critical scrutiny ' "Notes on Elements of Naval Strategy," Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington D.C.
