  • NOAA Fisheries, Coral Reef Ecosystem Division
    Marine Debris Program, Coral Reef Ecosystem Division, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries SYNOPSIS OF THE 2005 NWHI MARINE DEBRIS FIELD SEASON INTRODUCTION The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) archipelago is a 1,200 nautical mile chain of atolls and islets geographically positioned as a repository for significant amounts of marine debris, including derelict fishing gear. Derelict fishing gear resulting from either accidental losses or voluntary discards circulates within the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre until encountering the NWHI archipelago. As debris conglomerates reach these islands and atolls, wave energy forces these masses across coral reefs, entangling the derelict fishing gear upon corals. Derelict fishing gear devastates coral reef ecosystems on a number of trophic levels, including the degradation of coral reef habitat and entanglement of species of concern such as the endangered Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) and the threatened green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). The NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) Marine Debris Program is proud to report a successful conclusion to the 2005 Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) marine debris field season. 2005 marks the fifth consecutive year that the Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) has provided funding for the PIFSC to lead a cooperative effort to survey for and remove derelict fishing gear from the NWHI archipelago. The CRED Marine Debris Program collaborated with multiple organizations, including (though not limited to) the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program, NOAA Marine Debris Program, NWHI Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, City and County of Honolulu, U.S.

  • Citizenship and Labor in the Progressive Era, 1890-1925
    “I HAVE THE EAGLE”: CITIZENSHIP AND LABOR IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1890-1925 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By: Stephanie Lynn Taylor, M.F.A. Washington, DC August 20, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Stephanie Taylor All Rights Reserved ii “I HAVE THE EAGLE:” CITIZENSHIP AND LABOR IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA, 1890-1925 Stephanie Lynn Taylor, M.F.A. Thesis Advisor: Joseph A. McCartin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT During the critical years of American industrialization and rising status as a world power, a great struggle unfolded in the United States over workers’ status as citizens and what rights their status entailed. The outcome of this struggle shaped and constrained what workers would achieve in twentieth-century America. Just as imperialism raised the question of whether “the Constitution followed the flag” abroad, industrial conflict in those years raised the question of whether the flag – and the Constitution it symbolized – would follow laboring men and women into workplaces, streets, homes, and interactions with employers and government authorities. This dissertation argues that labor conflicts in this period were frequently fought over the boundaries and content of working-class citizenship. However, by the dawn of the New Deal era, the right to organize had become narrowly defined as a matter of market regulation, not as a matter of constitutional principles. This dissertation draws on the experiences of a wide range of workers to make its argument, including Japanese plantation laborers in Hawaii, agricultural workers along the U.S.-Mexico border, coal miners in Colorado, ore miners in the Midwest, and mill workers in the Northeast.
