Hokanson of RefreshMediaResources.com Printed in China “Never Get Lost AGAIN! As a former Navy SEAL, not only did I enjoy Don Mann’s U.S. Navy SEAL Survival Handbook, 4 but learned several things as well. This book is written by a career Navy SEAL combat medic and life long adventure racer. He knows more about surviving in potentially dangerous situations/nature than anyone I personally know. I look forward to keeping this book readily available—just in case!” —by Stew Smith, Navy SEAL Fitness Author “Don has certainly walked the walk in his years serving in the SEAL teams. Having gone through military survival training (land/water survival, SAR, SERE, etc.) and non-military (winter mountaineering) I can appreciate the depth of knowledge within each section. Surviving life threatening situations requires something unique for each individual. Don articulates a holistic view to help educate and prepare the reader for various scenarios. This publication is a must read for anyone looking to hone their survival skills.” —by Brian Dickinson, ex-USN CSAR Swimmer, Everest Summiteer/Survivor “The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook is a comprehensive guide from an expert with the experience to back it up! The Navy Seal Survival Handbook is a terrific, one stop source for your survival needs.” —by Randy Spivey, CEO and Founder, Center for Personal Protection and Safety “I’ve been on multiple operational deployments with Don and taken a few recreational adventure trips with him. I assure you that Don knows about what he has written in The Navy 5 SEAL Survival Handbook. I don’t mean theory or practicing survival techniques in protected environment where a time-out can be called and someone will come and provide a little assistance. Don has applied most of the things he describes in the real-world and in risky situations. Heck, he’s probably done all of this stuff but couldn’t share it because of the sensitive nature of his missions! While Don describes skills that are critical to survival, what you really gain from reading this handbook is a sense of the attitude required to be successful in the harsh environments in which America’s secret warriors thrive.” —by John Wright, US Air Force and DoD SERE Trainer, Multiple Deployments in Support of the Global War on Terror “The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook is essential reading for any adventure racer, climber, explorer, military personnel or outdoors person; ensure you have a copy of this in your kit-bag! Everything from what to include and how to prepare your emergency kit to living off the land, from essential shelter building to personal administration and from the effects of weather to celestial and obscure navigation can be found in this hand-book. I know this is one manual I will be using for the Hellweek PT™ Baalsrud Trail Challenge to the Arctic in 2013.” —by (Naval) Lt. Seán Ó Cearrúlláin (Rtd.), Hellweek PT™ Founder “The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook has all the lessons, reasons why and also the why not’s, of how to survive when 6 “it” hits the fan. Everyone from Back Country to the Urban folks can benefit from all the information. You just never know and like it has been said “knowledge is power”. The lessons in this book can mean the difference between surviving and being home with those you love or not. Will you be part of the solution or live a life time of regret? I started reading it, but wound up studying it!” —by Jim Kelleher, Survivalist “The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook brought back some really wild and vivid memories of courses I’d been through in the military. It really captured what it was like to be there and how each evolution unfolded. Special Operation Forces (SOF) guys are pretty special just as the studies show. This Survival Handbook tells the public exactly how they are able to do survive in the wilderness.” —by LTC Blain Reeves, US Army “Having been trained by some of the most highly regarded survival experts in the US, I can say definitively that no one has more experience or knowledge on the topic of mountain, jungle, desert, sea or urban survival than Don Mann. Don’s survival techniques along with his philosophy on combat mindset have served me well in real world survival situations and life in general. The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook should be mandatory reading for anyone who spends time in the wilderness.” —by Dr. Stephen M. Erle, Director SEAL Training Adventures 7 “A veritable how-to guide, The Navy Seal Survival Handbook is an absolute must have for every outdoor enthusiast, adventurer or Armed Forces member. This book is packed with a ton of useful information on wilderness survival techniques. A retired member of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs, Don Mann shares his acumen and experiences as an expert in the field.” —by Rick Sheremeta, Outdoor Photographer and Author “Navy SEAL, Don Mann, comes through again with another insightful and inspiring book. His knowledge of survival is apparent from the get go in The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook. The psychological angle intrigued me the most and was an amazing view of what SEALs sacrifice IN TRAINING, let alone what happens in combat situations. I gained a great deal of insight into the world of survival as well as deepened my respect for the Navy SEALs. Frankly if I was in a survival situation, I would want Don Mann there with me. After reading his book I at least feel like I am much better prepared. If you are a fan of survival, get this book. If you are intrigued by the Navy SEALs, get this book. Just GET THIS BOOK!” —by Matthew Fox, Expedition competitor “I found the chapters on Survival Mindset and Basic Survival Tips to be especially beneficial. These two chapters alone are a vital read for all outdoors recreationalists. I highly endorse this book as the definitive guide on wilderness survival and recommend it strongly as essential reading for military, civilian, and search and rescue specialists.” 8 —by Jim C. Blount, retired CIA Senior Instructor and the author of Stay Alert, Stay Alive, A Guide to Counterterrorism for Everyday Life “The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook is much more than a basic “Survival 101” handbook. Having retired from the Army, after a twenty-four year career, I read from a perspective of does this handbook have applicability in my life today, as a business executive? Answer: YES! It raises the business leader’s awareness that we travel in a dangerous world, that knowledge, skill and proper preparation is required to successfully meet our daily challenges, a “can do” attitude positively affects those around us and mental toughness is a required trait for success. This is a great read, for the special ops soldier, survivalist, adventurist, and business executive!” —by Terry L. Carrico, VP, Corporate Security, McKesson Corp.

  • Toxic Dinoflagellate Spores in Ships' Ballast Water
    Final Report FIRDC Grant 89 I 39 Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water : A danger to aquaculture G.M. Hallegraeff CSIRO Marine Laboratories, GPO Box 1538, Hobart, Tasmania 7 001 April 1992 Foreword The present investigations on "Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water" and "its implications for aquaculture" were funded by FIRDC grant 89 I 39 (Sept 1989 - Sept 1991 ) . This research involved a collaborative effort between CSIRO Division of Fisheries and the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), and was instigated by the claim by CSIRO that the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum in Tasmanian waters could have been introduced via cyst stages contained in ships' ballast water. In February 1986, contamination of Tasmanian shellfish with dinoflagellate toxins led to the closure of 15 shellfish farms for periods up to 6 months. Subsequently, similar toxic dinoflagellate outbreaks surfaced in the Australian ports of Adelaide (Aiexandrium minutum ) and Melbourne (Aiexandrium catenella ) . Genetic evidence (rRNA fingerprints) suggest that these latter species are also ballast water introductions. The present research received considerable national and international publicity ( front page news in the Hobart "Mercury" and "Sydney Morning Herald", national television coverage on the "7.30 report" and "Beyond.2000"). The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service has responded to this evidence by introducing, as of 1 February 1990, voluntary ballast water guidelines for ships entering Australian ports from overseas. As of 1 November 1991, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ratified these guidelines for adoption on an international basis. The present FIRDC- funded research has functioned as a catalyst for further ballast water research funds (600 K) made available by AQIS and BRR.

  • Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines
    Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines 著者 KAWAMURA Gunzo, BAGARINAO Teodora journal or 鹿児島大学水産学部紀要=Memoirs of Faculty of publication title Fisheries Kagoshima University volume 29 page range 81-121 別言語のタイトル フィリピン, パナイ島の漁具漁法 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10232/13182 Mem. Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

  • Native Fish Conservation
    Yellowstone SScience Native Fish Conservation @ JOSH UDESEN Native Trout on the Rise he waters of Yellowstone National Park are among the most pristine on Earth. Here at the headwaters of the Missouri and Snake rivers, the park’s incredibly productive streams and lakes support an abundance of fish. Following the last Tglacial period 8,000-10,000 years ago, 12 species/subspecies of fish recolonized the park. These fish, including the iconic cutthroat trout, adapted and evolved to become specialists in the Yellowstone environment, underpinning a natural food web that includes magnificent animals: ospreys, bald eagles, river otters, black bears, and grizzly bears all feed upon cutthroat trout. When the park was established in 1872, early naturalists noted that about half of the waters were fishless, mostly because of waterfalls which precluded upstream movement of recolonizing fishes. Later, during a period of increasing popularity of the Yellowstone sport fishery, the newly established U.S. Fish Commission began to extensively stock the park’s waters with non-natives, including brown, brook, rainbow, and lake trout. Done more than a century ago as an attempt to increase an- gling opportunities, these actions had unintended consequences. Non-native fish caused serious negative impacts on native fish populations in some watersheds, and altered the parks natural ecology, particularly at Yellowstone Lake. It took a great deal of effort over many decades to alter our native fisheries. It will take a great deal more work to restore them. As Aldo Leopold once said, “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic com- munity.

  • Fishing in Twelve Michigan Lakes Under Experimental Regulations
    Fishing in Twelve Michigan Lakes Under Experimental Regulations by KENNETH E. CHRISTENSEN FRANKLIN DE KLEINE COMPANY. STATE PRINTERS. LANSING. MICHIGAN 1953 1 -9ntrocluction In recent years (from 1945 to 1951) the Michigan Legislature made several important liberalizations in laws related to fishing for warm-water species, particularly the pan fishes. The size limit on pan fish was eliminated, the closed season on bluegills and sunfish was shortened, and all lakes (except a few "trout lakes") were opened to year-round fishing for perch, crappies, rock bass and certain other species not protected by a closed season. These liberalizations reflected the findings of general creel census on "pike lakes" which had been open to year-round fishing, the results of research parties working on many Michigan lakes over the past twenty years, and especially the findings from intensive studies since 1946 on a group of "test" lakes. The results from studies on the "test" lakes are presented in the present report. In view of the special interest in fishing regulations in connection with these studies, an historical review of Michigan fishing laws is first presented in the following. 3 HISTORY OF REGULATIONS The earliest legislation pertaining to fishing in inland waters of Michigan was concerned with the use of seines and other types of "continuous" nets. One of the first of such laws was Act No. 198, Laws of Michigan 1859 (Public Acts), which listed twelve counties of the extreme southern part of the Lower Peninsula where the use of seines and continuous nets was prohibited. Many of these earlier laws pertained to individual waters.

  • FAQ Mtn Lakes 5-07 Update
    South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Updated: Posted Sept 2007) Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Bonneville Power Administration, U. S. Forest Service Project Goal: Over the next ten years FWP will chemically treat 21 lakes in the South Fork Flathead drainage to remove nonnative rainbow and Yellowstone cutthroat trout that pose a threat to native westslope cutthroat trout and replace them with genetically pure westslope cutthroat trout. 1. Why are you doing this project, and why now? From the 1920s to 1960 nonnative rainbow and/or Yellowstone cutthroat trout were planted in some South Fork lakes. Nonnative and hybrid trout pose a threat to the native westslope cutthroat in the South Fork Flathead by migrating downstream from headwater lakes. MFWP is responsible for providing angling opportunities for the public but also for protecting or restoring native species to ensure their long-term persistence. Removing the hybrid trout and replacing them with genetically pure westslope cutthroat would remove this threat, and thus safeguard the pure westslope cutthroat in the South Fork Flathead. This project is very large and expensive. MFWP has an opportunity at this time to fund this project through Bonneville Power Administration’s Hungry Horse Dam Fisheries Mitigation Program. 2. What is wrong with the fish in the lakes right now? Hybrid trout are perfectly good fish for angling, and may even be desirable in some locations. But hybrid trout can pose an unacceptable risk to genetically pure native westslope cutthroat through competition and further hybridization, especially in core conservation areas. In these situations, if the problem is not corrected, hybrids will continue mixing with native westslope cutthroat, and important native populations can be greatly reduced or even lost.
