Aquatic Nuisance Species Report Aquatic Nuisance Species Report ANSAn Update on Sea Grant Research and Outreach Projects 2000 Aquatic Nuisance Species Report An Update on Sea Grant Research and Outreach Projects 2000 This report was prepared by the Ohio Sea Grant College Program for the National Sea Grant College Program. This document is a continuation of earlier research and outreach reports: Showing Our Mussel (TB-026), Zebra Mussel Report: An Update of Research and Outreach (TB-028) and Zebra Mussel Update: A 1995 Report of Research (TB-030). These previous reports document Sea Grant’s research and outreach projects related to zebra mussels and Eurasian ruffe (1995 report) and are available on the Ohio Sea Grant web site at www.sg.ohio-state.edu/publications/topics/fts-nuisance.html.

Ricker Designer: Cindy Hayter OHSU-TB-046 © 2000 by The Ohio State University Whether they’re called aquatic nuisance species, exotic species, or nonindigenous species, all of these terms describe the same problem — non-native plants and animals that are invading U.S. waterways. In their own native waters aquatic nuisance species (ANS) may be harmless, but when transplanted to other areas, they compete with native animals and plants for food and habitat, taking over the area. ANS are causing significant ecological and economic problems throughout many areas of the U.S. Species such as zebra mussels, round gobies, Japanese shore crabs, green crabs, Eurasian watermilfoil, purple loosestrife, and Asian clams — to name a few — have been introduced into waterbodies in many areas of the country. Once established, these species have the potential to displace native species, drastically alter aquatic ecosystems, and interfere with business and recreational pursuits. Most of the time ANS are transported by human activities such as the dumping of ballast water from transoceanic ships, transporting species via recreational boats, and emptying unwanted bait into water. Some species, such as the sea lamprey, entered into the Great Lakes on their own via canal systems. The story of the zebra mussel's invasion of the Great Lakes is now legendary. Dreissena polymorpha is presumed to have entered Lake St. Clair in 1985 or '86, having been transported there by transoceanic ships that released contaminated ballast water taken from foreign ports. In 1988 the mussel was officially identified and reported in Lake Erie. Today, according to the Sea Grant National Aquatic Nuisance Species Clearinghouse, the zebra mussel has spread outside the Great Lakes to other states and many inland waters (see distribution map on page 56). This report includes projects that began on or before March 1998, but does not include projects listed in previous editions of this report (1988-1995). However, projects that began during the last report phase and continued past that time frame are included in this update, as well as earlier projects that were not listed in previous reports. As this report went to press, information about Sea Grant ANS projects that began in fiscal years 1999 and 2000 became available. A list of these projects is included in the Appendices beginning on page 219.

  • Re-: an Errant Glossary
    RE- Cultural Inquiry EDITED BY CHRISTOPH F. E. HOLZHEY AND MANUELE GRAGNOLATI The series ‘Cultural Inquiry’ is dedicated to exploring how di- verse cultures can be brought into fruitful rather than pernicious confrontation. Taking culture in a deliberately broad sense that also includes different discourses and disciplines, it aims to open up spaces of inquiry, experimentation, and intervention. Its em- phasis lies in critical reflection and in identifying and highlight- ing contemporary issues and concerns, even in publications with a historical orientation. Following a decidedly cross-disciplinary approach, it seeks to enact and provoke transfers among the hu- manities, the natural and social sciences, and the arts. The series includes a plurality of methodologies and approaches, binding them through the tension of mutual confrontation and negoti- ation rather than through homogenization or exclusion. Christoph F. E. Holzhey is the Founding Director of the ICI Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry. Manuele Gragnolati is Pro- fessor of Italian Literature at the Sorbonne Université in Paris and Associate Director of the ICI Berlin. RE- An Errant Glossary EDITED BY CHRISTOPH F. E.

(202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.
