    OYSTER VARIETIES East Coast Barnstable (Crassostrea virginica) - Massachusetts Fished from the Jewel's Island area of the north shore of historic Cape Cod, MA, Barnstables are pearly white shelled treasures. Medium choice size, with full salty meats.

Classic, briny flavor and a mellow melon-like finish. Beaver Tail (Crassostrea virginica) – Rhode Island Grown in trays suspended 20-40 feet below the surface on the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, the tasty Beaver Tail oyster is so named because if it’s broad flat shape (like a beaver’s tail). Flavor is briny, with hints of sweetness and a buttery, bold finish. Belon (Ostrea edulis) - Maine The famous oyster of Europe, named for the river in Western France where they originated, are finally being grown in Maine. Belons have a distinct appearance, with a round, flat shell which resembles a scallop. Their flavor is also unique, with a very coppery finish which transforms into a delicious nectar with a drop of lemon juice. Blackberry Point (Crassostrea virginica) – Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Canada Blackberry Points are raised in the waters of Northwestern Prince Edward Island. Beach grown with a smooth shell, filled with plump meats. Mildly sweet, with a medium-high salinity on the finish. Blue Point (Crassostrea virginica) - Virginia The name ‘Blue Point’ originally applied only to oysters grown at Blue Point, Long Island, New York.

A Model for Rural Development: An Experiment from Fogo Island, Newfoundland We are committed to sharing what we know from our Fogo Island work so that others can hold onto the specificity of place that is so crucial to wellbeing. Zita Cobb, Founder and President, Shorefast Foundation Joe Batt’s Arm, Fogo Island, Newfoundland Underway today in the region of Fogo Island and Change Islands, Newfoundland is a bold and well-thought out experiment in contemporary rural development. It merits our attention because development intentions are being pursued in a manner that has practical lessons that are useful to those of us with stakes in advancing the prosperity and happiness of people in contemporary rural regions. The Fogo Island case embodies these proactive, strategic and intelligent development qualities that seem to be able to make a difference for attaining an increased measure of influence and control over a rural area’s future.

  • Annual Edition 2021 A6 – Notice 13 - Page 1 Notices to Mariners 1 to 46 Section a – Aids to Navigation and Marine Safety
    Notices to Mariners 1 to 46 Section A – Aids to Navigation and Marine Safety A6 Charts and Publications 13 Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020, and Provisional List of Charts The Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020 require all ships in waters under Canadian jurisdiction, to have on board, maintain and use appropriate charts, tide tables, lists of lights and other nautical publications issued by or on the authority of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. An up-to-date list of Canadian charts and nautical publications is available online in the Monthly Edition of Notices to Mariners at www.notmar.gc.ca or www.charts.gc.ca. ACCEPTANCE OF NAUTICAL PUBLICATIONS IN ELECTRONIC FORM IN CANADA The Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020 (NSR 2020) require the carriage and use of charts and nautical publications. Many nautical publications in Canada are now available in electronic form and can be downloaded from the Internet in PDF (Chart 1 – Symbols, Terms and Abbreviations, chart catalogues, Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR), Sailing Directions, List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals, Annual Edition of Notices to Mariners, Radio Aids to Marine Navigation, CCG Ice Navigation in Canadian Waters). Some vessels may carry publications in electronic form issued by another Administration (i.e., Admiralty Digital Publications) as per NSR 2020 Division 6. IMO circular entitled IMO requirements on carriage of publications on board ships (MSC-MEPC.2/Circ.2) allows electronic publications provided they have been issued by the IMO, an Administration or an organization authorized by an Administration. The electronic document should also “be treated in accordance with the document control procedures in the ship’s SMS including procedures for timely update.” However, as an exception, IMO does require the International Code of Signals and the IAMSAR - Volume III must be always available in hard copy to ensure accessibility and portability for emergency use.

    Puget Sound Harbor Safety Plan Harbor Safety Committee June 2017 SECTION B GENERAL INFORMATION 13 Updated/Revised June 2017 Harbor Safety Plan Puget Sound June 2017 Harbor Safety Committee THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK 14 Updated/Revised June 2017 Puget Sound Harbor Safety Plan Harbor Safety Committee June 2017 AIDS TO NAVIGATION (ATON) Action items: ● If you see an ATON discrepancy, (buoy off station, light extinguished, etc.) contact the Coast Guard. Your timely report could prevent an accident. ● If underway, contact the Puget Sound Vessel Traffic Center via VHF, or contact Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound by cell phone at 206-217-6001. ● If not underway, or if merely commenting on ATON, contact Commander, Thirteenth Coast Guard District (dpw) either by mail (Henry M. Jackson Federal Building, 915 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98174-1067) or by phone at 206-220-7270. CAUTION TO BE USED IN RELIANCE UPON AIDS TO NAVIGATION The aids to navigation depicted on charts comprise a system of fixed and floating aids that have varying degrees of reliability. Therefore, prudent mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation, particularly a floating aid. With respect to buoys, the buoy symbol is used to indicate the approximate position of the buoy body and sinker, which secures the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is used because of practical limitations in positioning and The Dungeness Lighthouse, located at the tip of Dungeness Spit near Port Angeles, Wash., was the first American maintaining buoys and their sinkers in precise Lighthouse in Puget Sound. The lighthouse was established in geographical locations.

Sec. 1. (1) The legislature finds that the northern 4 coast of the Olympic Peninsula and Washington's west coast from Cape 5 Flattery south to Cape Disappointment: 6 (a) Possess uniquely rich and highly vulnerable biological, marine, 7 and cultural resources supporting some of the nation's most valuable 8 commercial, sport, and tribal fisheries; 9 (b) Sustain endangered species and numerous species of vulnerable 10 marine mammals; and 11 (c) Are internationally recognized through extraordinary 12 designations including a world heritage site, a national park, a 13 national marine sanctuary, national wildlife refuges, a maritime area 14 off-limits to shipping, and tribal lands and fishing areas of federally 15 recognized coastal Indian tribes. 16 (2) The legislature further finds that these coasts are 17 periodically beset by severe storms with dangerously high seas and by 18 strong currents, obscuring fog, and other conditions that imperil 19 vessels and crews. When vessels suffer damage or founder, the coasts 20 are likewise imperiled, particularly if oil is spilled into coastal 21 waters. Oil spills pose great potential risks to treasured resources. 22 (3) The legislature further finds that Washington has maintained an 23 emergency response tug at Neah Bay since 1999 to protect state waters 24 from maritime casualties and resulting oil spills. The tug is 25 necessary because of the peculiarities of local waters that call for 26 special precautionary measures.
