Pour Jacques Cousteau, sans lui, je ne connaîtrais guère l’océan. Per la mia famiglia For Carrie, Ronnie, and Wayne ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to thank my adviser Craig Colten for his guidance through this process. This has been an invaluable learning experience, and I am grateful for his role in my graduate studies. He has always offered me absolute generosity with his time, and this is in large part why I am here today. His dedication to research and quality is an enviable trait that I greatly admire. I would like to also thank my committee members: Margaret Reams, Kent Mathewson, and Andrew Sluyter for their thoughtful input into my dissertation and education. I very much appreciate my adviser’s and committee’s cooperation with my timing during this dissertation process. Second, I would like to thank the Department of Geography and Anthropology for its supportive environment; these thanks are especially extended to Patrick Hesp, Andrew Joyner, Melanie Gall, David Chicoine, Helen Regis, Cory Sills, Amy Potter, Alexandra Giancarlo, Dana Sanders, Phillip Schmutz, Barry Keim, and Kevin Robbins. Thank you to John Anderson and the LSU Cartographic Information Center for providing maps, support, advice, and employment. I would also like to thank the Department of French Studies for its important role in my success at LSU; these thanks are especially extended to Cathy Luquette, Greg Stone, Kate Jensen, John Protevi, Todd Jacob, Sylvie Dubois, Jack Yeager, Rosemary Peters, Rachel Rodriguez-Morales, and Adelaide Russo. I too owe thanks to the Department of Environmental Sciences, and especially the guidance and education from Margaret Reams and Michael Wascom. Third, I could not have finished this degree if it were not for the love and support from my Hearthstone family: Melanie, Aaron, and Carrie. Nor could I have finished without the undying support of my political soul mate, Wayne. Fourth, I am greatly indebted to the LSU community for its continued support and the repeated presentation of unique experiences. I would like to especially thank Katy Provenzale and Maribel Dietz iii for an unforgettable summer in Italy and our ensuing friendships. I would like to express my gratitude for support from: Graziela Hesp, Rick Moreland, Susan Moreland, Rachel Hall, Dustin Howes, Laura Moyer, Ray Chastain, and Ms. Barbara Anderson. There are others whom I have not mentioned here, and I wish to thank you for your conversations in the hall, advice, and friendship. Fifth, I will forever be indebted to Louisiana Sea Grant and especially David Nieland for their steadfast support and nomination for the Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship. Sixth, I have to thank my sisters: Alexis for her ability to rationalize life’s conundrums, supply me with words, and for rising to the occasion to help; Kendal for her ability to make me smile, for her passion for all things just, and for her too rising to the occasion to lend a hand. I also must thank my parents for their support, love, generosity, and model for strength and compassion. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................................................. iii LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................................................ vii LIST OF FIGURES ......................................................................................................................................... viii ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................................................... x CHAPTER 1—AN INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTING MARINE WILDERNESS ............................................. 1 METHODS .................................................................................................................................................. 3 WILDERNESS SPACE AND OCEAN-SPACE IN GEOGRAPHIC TRADITION .................................................... 7 GEOGRAPHY AND WILDERNESS .............................................................................................................. 10 GEOGRAPHY AND OCEAN ....................................................................................................................... 20 FEDERAL COASTAL/MARINE LEGAL FRAMEWORK ................................................................................. 32 CHAPTER 2—THE WILDERNESS ACT AND THE OCEAN ............................................................................... 40 THE JOURNEY TO BILL-HOOD: WILDERNESS ACT OF 1964 ..................................................................... 43 ANALYSIS OF THE WILDERNESS ACT ....................................................................................................... 47 HEARINGS ON THE WILDERNESS ACT 1957-1964 ................................................................................... 61 THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF THE WILDERNESS ACT COMMITTEES .......................................... 65 THE WILDERNESS ACT & OCEAN-SPACE: CONCLUDING THOUGHTS ...................................................... 76 CHAPTER 3—WILDERNESS AGENCIES & OCEAN-SPACE: THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE .................................. 78 STATUTORY WILDERNESS MANAGERS ................................................................................................... 79 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) ................................................................................................ 82 U.S. FOREST SERVICE ............................................................................................................................... 86 FOREST SERVICE MAPS ......................................................................................................................... 108 COASTAL WILDERNESS & THE FOREST SERVICE: CONCLUDING THOUGHTS ........................................ 116 CHAPTER 4—WILDERNESS-OCEAN INTERFACE ........................................................................................ 118 THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR ................................................................................................... 118 BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT ........................................................................................................ 121 NPS AND FWS: THE MARINE-ENGAGED WILDERNESS AGENCIES ........................................................ 125 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ...................................................................................................................... 127 THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE .................................................................................................. 139 THE AMERICAN PERIOD OF COASTAL WILDERNESS DESIGNATION ..................................................... 146 v CONCLUSIONS ON D.O.I.

  • 4.0 the Approved Resource Management Plan
    APPROVED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 4.0 THE APPROVED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the decisions approved in the Record of Decision (ROD) for the King Range National Conservation Area RMP, otherwise known as the Approved RMP. It includes land use planning decisions and administrative actions that will be implemented over the life of the RMP. The decisions listed here are the same as those in the Proposed RMP, except for changes in syntax to reflect that the actions are now formal decisions. Otherwise both documents are the same and may be used interchangeably. This chapter is also essentially the Agency Preferred Alternative from the Draft RMP, with changes reflecting public comment, collaboration during the preparation of the Proposed RMP. The RMP decisions are intended to maximize diversity of multiple uses, including human activities and opportunities, while meeting or exceeding land health standards, and following the legislative requirements and management vision for the KRNCA. 4.2 MANAGEMENT ZONES In order to implement the management mandate for the KRNCA and to meet differing public needs, the planning area has been divided into three management zones. These zones represent a consolidation, revision, and simplification of the seven original zones in the 1974 King Range Management Program. All three of the zones allow multiple uses, but like the original zones, each emphasizes different primary resource values to be conserved and/or allowable uses available in various parts of the planning area. All public lands within the planning area are assigned to one of the three zones: Backcountry, Frontcountry, or Residential.

To Americans federal lands displaying wilderness qualities important more broadly, wilderness takes on a less utilitarian to recreation, science, ecosystem integrity, spiritual value and is often described in terms of its aesthetic or values, opportunities for solitude, and wildlife needs. spiritual significance. Section 2(c) of the Wilderness Act captures the essence of wilderness by identifying specific qualities that make it unique. The provisions suggest wilderness is an area or region characterized by the following conditions (USFS 2002): Section 2(c)(1) …generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnoticeable; Section 2(c)(2) …has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation; Section 2(c)(3) …has at least five thousand acres of land or is of sufficient FIG 1.

This is the way I felt when a recent Mattole Field Institute student said thank you in the Wailaki language. It was like she had given me a gift, and I wanted to say it right back to her. This exchange came after the Mattole Field Institute held its second field course in partnership with HSU’s graduate program in Social Sciences this past August. For five days, students beginning their studies in Environment & Community camped in the Mattole and heard from various residents about wide-ranging issues affecting life in this rural valley. With local guides, students visited ranches and nonprofits, hiked in Mill Creek’s old growth forest, listened to a gathering of residents discuss challenges in our community, heard a lively campfire discussion Students in the Mattole Field Instiute’s August 2016 course enjoy a break for about cannabis cultivation, toured a small cannabis farm, strawberry popsicles near Whitethorn Junction.

INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
