  • Annual Summary of Reserve Management Needs for the 2021 Collaborative Research RFP Compiled October 2020
    Annual Summary of Reserve Management Needs For the 2021 Collaborative Research RFP Compiled October 2020 Collaborative research projects supported by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative must address a management need of one or more reserves. This document is a compilation of the current management needs within NOAA’s reserve system. Management needs are submitted by reserve managers and updated on an annual basis. This reserve management needs summary supports the development of proposals in response to the 2021 NERRS Science Collaborative Request for Proposals. Potential applicants are encouraged to review the management needs described here and reach out to the point of contact listed for a reserve to discuss the reserve’s current needs and opportunities for collaboration. Project ideas that emerge after this document was developed and do not align perfectly with a specific management need statement, including project ideas that engage multiple reserves, can be considered for funding if the relevance and value to the reserve system and potential end users are well justified in the proposal. Science Collaborative focus areas and reserve management needs reflect both NOAA and reserve priorities set forth in the NERRS strategic plan (climate change, water quality and habitat protection) as well as individual reserve ​ ​ management needs at the local level. Science Collaborative Focus Areas: These management needs are consistent with one or several of the Science Collaborative focus areas, which are: ● Climate change: Research and monitoring related to biophysical, social, economic, and behavioral impacts of ​ habitat change resulting from climate change and/or coastal development. ● Ecosystem services: Understanding how an ecosystem service approach and human dimensions research can ​ be utilized to support the protection and restoration of estuarine systems.

  • The Effects of Specific Directions on the Reading Comprehension of Sixth-Grade Students
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 050 905 RE 003 570 AUTHOR Calby, Diana Heywood TITLE The Effects of Specific Directions on the Reading Comprehension of Sixth-Grade Students. SPONS AGENCY Rutgers, The State Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Graduate School of Education. PUB DATE Jun 71 NOTE 153p.; Thesis submitted partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Directed Reading Activity, *Grade 6, Informal Reading Inventory, *Learning Processes, Reading Achievement, *Reading Comprehension, *Reading Research, Reading Tests ABSTRACT The effects of specific directions on the reading comprehension of sixth-grade students were investigated. Two passages on different topics, each with 20 percent of the sentences relevant to the topic, were materials for two informal tests administered to 92 six-grade students. Half of the students were given specific directions to learn about the relevant topic, and the other half were not. The post-test contained questions on the relevant and incidental materials. A Focus Ability test and the Gates-MacGinitie comprehension subtest followed. Findings showed that(1) the results from the two material sections were in conflict,(2) the ability to identify relevant material in a passage was not related to the ability to learn the relevant material selectively,(3) there was a low positive relationship between the ability to identify relevant material and the standardized measure of reading comprehension, and (4) the informal measure of reading comprehension scores were significantly correlated with the standardized measure of reading comprehension scores. Further research was suggested. Tables, appendixes, and a bibliography are included.

    What lies beneath: our love affair with living underwater An artisit’s impression of life on Conshelf III. Illustration: Davis Meltzer/National Geographic How the 1960s craze for oceanic exploration changed our relationship with the planet by Chris Michael Seascape: the state of our oceans is supported by About this content Mon 8 Jun 2020 08.00 BSTLast modified on Mon 8 Jun 2020 10.35 BST • • • Shares 124 In November 1966, the Gemini 12 spacecraft, carrying two astronauts, splashed down in the Pacific. The four-day mission was a triumph, proving that humans could work in outer space, and even step into the great unknown, albeit tethered to their spacecraft. It catapulted the US ahead of the USSR in the space race. From then, Nasa’s goal was to beat the Russians to the moon. That meant weeks rather than days in space, in an isolated, claustrophobic environment. There was one perfect way to prepare humans for these conditions: going underwater. The world was gripped. If we could land people on the moon, why not colonise the ocean as well? Nasa scientists were not the first to dream of marine living. Evidence of submarines and diving bells can be found as far back as the 16th century. The literary grandfather of all things deep, Jules Verne, popularised the idea of a more sophisticated underwater life with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1872, but it was in the 20th century that the fascination really took hold. In the 1930s, American naturalist William Beebe and engineer Otis Barton collaborated on experimental submersibles called bathyspheres which set records for deep diving and opened up the underwater realm of plants and animals to science.

Join us at www.cousteaudivers.org. The journey continues! Convince to Conquer Convince to Conquer My profound gratitude goes to all of those who have helped me, by their trust, by their work or by their generosity, to unearth Excalibor, the invincible and luminous sword of King Arthur, who won his wars by loosing all of his battles.

Before all of my friends, here and throughout the world, I solemnly take oath, as did Lancelot, to fight, with you Excalibor, symbolic weapon of the poets who alone can change the world, and to serve under Viviane, Lady of Water, and of Galaad, the pure conqueror of the Grail.

  • Bibliography Primary Sources
    1 Bibliography Primary Sources Documentary/Film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Dir. Stuart Paton. Universal Film Management Company, 1916. ​ DVD. This is the version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea that Jacques Cousteau viewed as a ​ ​ teenager. As one of the earliest films to include underwater footage, Cousteau was fascinated and inspired. We included clips from this film in our website because it was extremely influential on Cousteau. It is important to understand that this was the first time that people saw short underwater clips, and the public was captivated. This impact on the public is the reason that we try to focus on Jules Verne and his science fiction. Épaves. Dir. Jacques Cousteau, Frederic Dumas, and Philippe Taillez. 1943. Online. CG­45. ​ Web. 27 Jan. 2016. In English, this documentary is called Shipwrecks. This was one of Cousteau's earliest ​ ​ underwater films, and one of the first films where divers used the aqualung. It was received with much critical approval, and won several awards as a short documentary. This work was the beginning of Cousteau's film career as he filmed divers using the aqualung. Viewed today, the film seems very primitive, and technological difficulties make the action appear staged. This source was important to us because it gave us a sense of Cousteau’s early efforts in film. First Tests of the Aqualung. Perf. Jacques Cousteau. 1943. YouTube. Web. 27 Jan. 2016. ​ It shows Cousteau testing the aqualung with other men, and includes a voiceover by Cousteau that describes the aqualung, and how it will benefit divers.
