  • Los Angeles County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Los Angeles County Arroyo Sequit Arroyo Sequit consists of about 3.3 stream miles. The arroyo is formed by the confluence of the East and West forks, from where it flows south to enter the Pacific Ocean east of Sequit Point. As part of a survey of 32 southern coastal watersheds, Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1979. The O. mykiss sampled were between about two and 6.5 inches in length. The survey report states, “Historically, small steelhead runs have been reported in this area” (DFG 1980). It also recommends, “…future upstream water demands and construction should be reviewed to insure that riparian and aquatic habitats are maintained” (DFG 1980). Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1989-1990 as part of a study of six streams originating in the Santa Monta Mountains. The resulting report indicates the presence of steelhead and states, “Low streamflows are presently limiting fish habitat, particularly adult habitat, and potential fish passage problems exist…” (Keegan 1990a, p. 3-4). Staff from DFG surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 1993 and captured O. mykiss, taking scale and fin samples for analysis. The individuals ranged in length between about 7.7 and 11.6 inches (DFG 1993). As reported in a distribution study, a 15-17 inch trout was observed in March 2000 in Arroyo Sequit (Dagit 2005). Staff from NMFS surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 2002 as part of a study of steelhead distribution. An adult steelhead was observed during sampling (NMFS 2002a). Additional documentation of steelhead using the creek between 2000-2007 was provided by Dagit et al.

  • Lubin - Opis, Położenie, Historia
    Lubin - opis, położenie, historia Lubin to miasto i gmina w południowo-zachod- niej Polsce, w województwie dolnośląskim, siedziba powiatu lubińskiego, nad rzeką Zimnicą. Powstanie Lubina i jego historia nie są do końca znane, ale dotychczasowe badania datują założenie miasta na rok 1170, a budowniczym miał być Bolesław Wysoki. Osada powstała na przecięciu się ważnych szlaków kupieckich, w związku z czym była zapewne miejscem odpoczynku wędrujących kupców. Jej nazwa pochodzi od staropolskiego imienia Luba. Według legendy, młodzieniec od tym imieniu miał wyzwolić tutejszych mieszkańców ze strachu, jaki rzucał na nich ogromny i niebezpieczny niedźwiedź. 23 VI 1310 roku w Głogowie 10 miast śląskich podpisuje umowę o zwal- czaniu bandytyzmu na drogach. W imieniu Lubina występują : Henryk - wójt dziedziczny i Apeczko - rajca miejski. W 1312 roku powstaje dokument podziałowy księstwa głogowskiego wymienia „Castrum Lubyn”. Biskup Wrocławski poleca krzyżowcom od Św. Ducha wybudować w Lubinie szpital. W latach II wojny światowej (1939-1945) powstaje w okolicach Lubina duża baza hitlerowskiego lotnictwa. Przemysł lubiński pracuje na rzecz zaopatrzenia armii. W powiecie powstają liczne podobozy jenieckie i skupiska ludności kierowanej do przymusowej pracy w rolnictwie i przemyśle. Przeważają w ich liczbie Polacy. Szerzą się represje, prześladowania i egzekucje. Lubin jest związany z przemysłem wydobywczym i przetwórczym rudy miedzi, której najbogatsze złoża w Europie znajdują się właśnie pod tym miastem. W związku z tym Lubin jest znany jako prężnie rozwijająca się stolica polskiej miedzi. Dodatkowo w lubińskich kopalniach należących do KGHM Polska Miedź SA wydobywa się również w sporych ilościach srebro. Sektor wydobywczy, choć rozbudowany tutaj do ogromnych rozmiarów, nie jest jedyną działalnością gospodarczą w tym rejonie.
