    Grouse of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, by Michael A. Schroeder

    WashingtonHistory.org GROUSE OF THE LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION By Michael A. Schroeder COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Winter 2003-04: Vol. 17, No. 4 “The flesh of the cock of the Plains is dark, and only tolerable in point of flavour. I do not think it as good as either the Pheasant or Grouse." These words were spoken by Meriwether Lewis on March 2, 1806, at Fort Clatsop near present-day Astoria, Oregon. They were noteworthy not only for their detail but for the way they illustrate the process of acquiring new information. A careful reading of the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark (transcribed by Gary E. Moulton, 1986-2001, University of Nebraska Press) reveals that all of the species referred to in the first quote are grouse, two of which had never been described in print before. In 1803-06 Lewis and Clark led a monumental three-year expedition up the Missouri River and its tributaries to the Rocky Mountains, down the Columbia River and its tributaries to the Pacific Ocean, and back again. Although most of us are aware of adventurous aspects of the journey such as close encounters with indigenous peoples and periods of extreme hunger, the expedition was also characterized by an unprecedented effort to record as many aspects of natural history as possible. No group of animals illustrates this objective more than the grouse. The journals include numerous detailed summary descriptions of grouse and more than 80 actual observations, many with enough descriptive information to identify the species. What makes Lewis and Clark so unique in this regard is that other explorers of the age rarely recorded adequate details.

    Return the Tides Resource Book 1-1 Tidal Marsh Formation 1-2

    Return the Tides Resource Book World Wide Web Version CONSERVATION LAW FOUNDATION by Erno R. Bonebakker, Portland ME with contributions by Peter Shelley, CLF, Rockland ME Kim Spectre, CLF, Rockland ME CREDITS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This resource book was developed during the Casco Bay “Return the Tides” pilot project in the summer of 1999. In large part, it is an adaptation and development of the marsh assessment manual developed by Rob Bryan of Maine Audubon and Michele Dionne of Wells NERR1 and the methods developed by the Parker River Clean Water Association in Newburyport, MA.2 Particular credit is due to Rob Bryan of Maine Audubon Society and Dr. Michele Dionne of the Wells Reserve for their guidance in the preparation of this manual. Rob’s unfailing support and advice has been a particular help. David Mountain and Tim Purinton of the Parker River Clean Water Association in Newburyport, MA were also critical in compiling their field methods handbook describing a simple way to develop and record useful inventory information using volunteers.. In addition, this book is the product of the thoughts and vision of a number of people who have dedicated themselves to estuaries: the science of estuary systems, the education of the public about the wonders of these systems, and the protection and restoration of these special places. They were completely generous in allowing us to borrow shamelessly from their writings and thinking and this effort in Maine would not have been possible without their gracious support. To that end, we would like to thank the following individuals and commend our readers to their efforts directly.

This section provides an overview. 2.1 Overview of Canaport Energy East Marine Terminal Operations and Expanded Shipping Operations The proposed marine terminal will be located on the western shore of the Bay of Fundy, southeast of the City of Saint John and southwest of Mispec Point, New Brunswick. The marine terminal is proposed to be located adjacent to the two existing Canaport marine facilities: a single buoy mooring (SBM or mono- buoy) for offloading crude oil to the Irving Canaport facility, and the Canaport LNG terminal for import and now recently licensed for export of liquefied natural gas (Figure 1-1). The marine terminal will include pile-supported trestles and breasting/mooring dolphins for two berths that can accommodate Aframax and Suezmax tankers (Berth 2), as well as VLCC tanker types (Berth 1), with capacities of 113,300 to 348,000 m3 (710,000 to 2.2 million barrels). The two berths will be constructed simultaneously. Oil will be pumped from shore via a trestle approximately 645 m long. Berths 1 and 2 will be interconnected by a trestle approximately 380 m long. The marine terminal is expected to receive approximately 281 tanker calls per year for shipping of crude oil products originating from western Canada.
