Caribbean Pod Notes E1 Arquipelago dos Açores Imray-Iolaire CHARTS FOR THE ATLANTIC OCEAN ABOUT THIS CHART Compiled by DM Street Jnr DM Street Jr, the well known yachting author, has been working with Imray to compile the Imray-Iolaire charts of the eastern Caribbean since 1979. In 1989, after 9 Translatlantic voyages aboard the 46’ englineless yawl, Iolaire , which he owned for 53 years, he began compiling the Imray-Iolaire charts to the Atlantic Islands . His knowledge of the Azores has been gathered over a 35 year period. He explored the Azores aboard Iolaire in 1985, 1989 and 2005. In 2002 he visited some of the islands on the 48’ ketch Nimrod , and travelled by air and ferry to others in the group. In 2009, courtesy of the Azorean harbour department and tourist office, Street spent two weeks visiting and exploring all the islands by air and ferry. Carla Cook’s help in obtaining the latest information on marinas and harbours has been IMPORTANT tremendous and Bob Siverman’s 1981 Cruising Guide to the Azores has been used For the latest chart extensively, with his permission, in the preparation of these notes. The author and publishers believe that this chart is the most accurate and up to date corrections visit available of the area it covers. It can, however, only remain so if mariners notify the www.imray.com publishers of any inaccuracy or need for correction of which they may be aware. Street’s Caribbean Guides cover sailing from the western end of Puerto Rico, east and south through the islands to Trinidad, then west along the Venezuelan coast and The information shown on charts is offshore islands to Aruba.

  • Exmo. Senhor Vasco Alves Cordeiro, É Com Grande Preocupação Que
    Exmo. Senhor Vasco Alves Cordeiro, É com grande preocupação que nós, os signatários nacionais e internacionais desta carta aberta, que lhe é dirigida na sua função de Presidente do Governo Regional dos Açores, observamos uma evolução inquietante nos Açores e nas suas águas territoriais (ZEEA, Zona Económica Exclusiva dos Açores). No ecossistema do Atlântico, os Açores têm uma importância fundamental para a natureza e os seus seres vivos, tanto debaixo como acima da água. A conservação deste singular ecossistema central é uma tarefa crucial para a humanidade. A destruição deste sistema pode ter consequências graves para os seres humanos, não só nos Açores. Por consideração pelas gerações vindouras e por consideração pelo tratamento sustentável transgeracional da natureza dos Açores, gostávamos de lhe apelar a mudar fundamentalmente a sua política no domínio da proteção ambiental e marítima. Há muitos anos que, juntamente com peritos, o Governo Regional e diversas administrações das nove ilhas estabeleceram zonas de proteção marítima e reservas naturais no mar à volta dos Açores e também diretamente nas ilhas, pelo menos teoricamente. Desde 08.07.2008 estão legislados Parques Naturais de Ilha, para cada uma das Ilhas dos Açores (1). No entanto, para que serve o estabelecimento de zonas de proteção marítima se estas leis excluem espécies pelágicas, como o tubarão, o espadarte e o atum, o isco vivo, e se se continua a autorizar que embarcações de pesca permaneçam, e até desenvolvam atividades extrativas nas zonas a que chamam Reservas? Se não se trava a pesca ilegal na prática, se as zonas de proteção marítima não são respeitadas e, apesar de muitas indicações, participações e solicitações no sentido de mudar isso, continuarem a ser exploradas pelo setor da pesca, teremos certamente o futuro comprometido.

Before the evolutionary and biogeographic implications of these fossils can be understood, however, their associated depositional environments and geo- logic ages must be determined. Here we present preliminary results from sedi- mentary facies analysis and strontium isotope chronostratigraphic analysis of sed- iments and fossils from two localities on Santa Maria Island that provide a window into shallow-marine environments and communities within the mid-Atlantic Ocean during the Neogene. Pedra-que-Pica on the southeastern corner of Santa Maria contains strata of fine-grained lithic calcarenite, coquina, and fine- to medi- um-grained lithic wacke that represent a regressive sequence from transition-zone to foreshore environments. The second locality at Pedreira do Campo on the south- western-side of Santa Maria contains limestone and fine- to coarse-grained lithic arenite that represent a regressive sequence from shallow bank to shoreface-fore- shore environments.

The present report deals with the material of Collembola collected during a Lund University Expedition in 1957 to the Azores and Madeira, by Dr. and Mrs. Per Brinck and Dr. and Mrs. Erik Dahl. From late February to the middle of April1957, the expedition investigated six of nine islands of the Azores, viz. Santa Maria, Sao Miguel, Terceira, Pico, Faial and Flares; at the end of April 1957 the main island of Madeira was visited. I. Previous work on the Collembola of the Azores and Madeira From the Azores only eleven species of Collembola have previously been recorded: Smynthurus fuse us L. ( = Allacma fuse a [ L.]), Macrotoma tridentifera Tullb. ( = Tomocerus minor [ Lubb.]), Templetonia major Mo­ niez ( = H eteromurus major [ Moniez]),? Lepidocyrtus lanuginosus Gmel.

( = X. maritima Tullb.), ? Anuropho­ rus sp. ( = ? Uzelia setifera Abs.), Lipura agilis Moniez ( = Onychiurus ambulans [ Nic.]), Lipura bipunctata Moniez nom. dub. ( = Onychiurus ghidinii Gis. an 0. pseudinermis Born.?). All these species were recorded by Moniez (1889). Finally, Stach (1951) mentions Neanura . muscorum (Templ.) from the Azores. Our knowledge of the Madeiran Collembola was, on the other hand, relatively advanced when I began to write the present report. Thanks to the work done by Agrell (1939), Delamare Deboutteville and Bassot (1957), Gisin (1958) and Gama (1959), the list of identified Collembola previously recorded from Madeira contained about 60 different species.

  • Santa Maria, the Sunshine Island
    Santa Maria, the sunshine island ABOUT Photo: Turismo dos Açores Santa Maria, the sunshine island The island of Santa Maria is in the Eastern Group of the Azores archipelago, along with São Miguel, 81km away. The green fields, traditional culture, the chimneys of the whitewashed houses, the dark ochre of the earth, the golden beaches and the turquoise waters make Santa Maria different from the archipelago’s other islands. Because it is the most southerly and easterly island in the Azores, Santa Maria’s climate is warmer and drier, which contributes to greater aridity on the land and dry vegetation with a yellowish tint, and for this reason it is also known as the Sunshine Island. The island has two areas with distinctive reliefs and features: one area to the west is flatter and low-lying where the airport can be found, and the houses of Vila do Porto, the largest town on the island, and the parishes of São Pedro and Almagreira; and another more rugged area in the east of the island, with lush vegetation, which includes the Pico Alto mountain, the highest point on the island at 590 metres above sea level, from which you have a wonderful panoramic view. The parishes of Santa Bárbara and Espírito Santo are located in this region. Santa Maria was the first island to be discovered by the Portuguese explorers, the first to be settled, and was also the first island in the Azores to be formed, so its diverse geological past is etched into its volcanic and sedimentary rocks. This can be seen in Pedreira do Campo, where a basalt flow more than 100 metres high houses within it numerous fossils of marine organisms, proving that this island was submerged until a few thousand years ago.
