Relative to other coastal areas in Maine, Casco Bay shorebird habitats are particularly vulnerable to degradation, given the heightened potential for coastal development, disturbance, and other factors in a landscape where industrial, commercial, and residential land-use patterns prevail. In 2012 this collaborative project provided enhanced monitoring resolution at key shorebird feeding areas designated as Significant Wildlife Habitat by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW).

FARMERI, MARIA C. FARMER2 and RAINER BERGER3 ABSTRACT. Extensive eruptions of alkalic basalt from low-elevation fissures and vents on the southern flank of the dormant volcano, Cerro Evermann, accompanied the most recent phase of volcanic activity on Socorro Island, and created 14C the Lomas Coloradas, a broad, gently sloping terrain comprising the southern part of the island. We obtained ages of 4690 ± 270 BP (5000-5700 cal BP) and 5040 ± 460 BP (5300-6300 cal BP) from lacustrine deposits that occur within volcanic sequences of the lower Lomas Coloradas. Apparently, the sediments accumulated within a topographic depression between two scoria cones shortly after they formed. The lacustrine environment was destroyed when the cones were breached by headward erosion of adjacent stream drainages.

  • The Status of Clipperton Atoll Under International Law, and the Right to Fish in Its Surrounding Waters
    .. ~ The Status of Clipperton Atoll Under International Law, and the Right to Fish in Its Surrounding Waters by Jon M. Van Dyke 2515 Dole Street Honolulu, Hawai'i 96822 [email protected] May 15,2006 Introduction. Remote and tiny Clipperton Atoll is 1,120 kilometers southwest of Mexico. 1 Its land area forms a circle with an average width of about 200 meters and a circumference of about 12 kilometers, making up about 1.6 square kilometers of land area. If its stagnant brackish-water interior lagoon is also included it measures about six square kilometers, 12 times larger than the size of The Mall in Washington, D.C? The Atoll had been located earlier by Spanish navigators, but was named after the English pirate John Clipperton who was said to have hidden there in 1705 with 21 other mutineers.3 The French claim of sovereignty over Clipperton is based on a visit to the atoll in November 1858 by the merchant ship L 'Amiral, operated by a French shipowner named Lockhart and carrying the French Lieutenant Victor Ie Coat de Kerveguen who was authorized by Napoleon III to assert sovereignty over guano islands.4 The crew landed, after considerable difficulty, in a small boat, sampled the guano deposits (finding that they were not rich in phosphates), and left no permanent plaque on shore. When L 'Amiral arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii the next month, its crew published a IU.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Clipperton Island in THE WORLD FACTBOOK, <http://www.cia.gov/ciaJpublications/factbookigeos/ip.html> (site visited May 9, 2006).

  • The Birds of Clipperton Island, Eastern Pacific
    Sept.,1964 357 THE BIRDS OF CLIPPERTON ISLAND, EASTERN PACIFIC By KENNETH E. STAGER Although Clipperton Island has been visited by only a few ornithologists, it never- theless has been long recognized as a haven for large numbrs of oceanic birds. Clip- perton is the most easterly coral atoll in the Pacific Ocean and is situated at latitude 10” 18’N, longitude 109” 13l’W. With reference to the American mainland, the island is approximately 600 nautical miles southwest of the Mexican state of Guerrero. The nearest coral atoll to Clipperton is Pukapuka, in the eastern Tuamotus, 2300 nautical miles to the southwest. In 1958, during the International Geophysical Year, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography engaged in a number of research cruises to the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. One of these cruises was the “Doldrums” expedition, made for the purpose of studying the Equatorial Counter Current. As an adjunct to the “Doldrums” expedition, the Scripps Institution landed a party of 13 scientists and technicians on Clipperton for the purpose of making an intensive survey of the life on the atoll. It was my privi- lege to serve as the ornithologist of this field party. The landing on Clipperton was effected from the research vessel “Spencer F. Baird” on the morning of August 7, 1958, and work was terminated on August 26, 1958. On this latter date, nine members of the field party were picked up by the “Spencer F. Baird” and taken to Panama for the return home. The other four members of the field party remained on Clipperton for an additional month to complete a program of shark studies.
