We are dedicated to protecting our lakes, streams, wetlands, and ground water through respected advocacy, innovative education, technically sound water quality monitoring, and thorough research. We achieve our mission by empowering others and we believe in the capacity to make a difference. We work locally, regionally, and throughout the Great Lakes Basin.We were formed in 1979 and have a history of working closely with lake associations and shoreline property owners on water resource management issues. The first printing of this guidebook was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Great Lakes Commission’s Great Lakes Basin Program for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control. Doug Fuller authored the first edition. Third Edition printing made possible with funding provided by the Jimmy F.

The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

ABOUT THE BAY-LAKE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION The Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission was created in April 1972 under section 66.945 of the Wisconsin Statutes as the official area-wide planning agency for northeastern Wisconsin. At the request of seven county boards within the region, Governor Lucey established the Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission by Executive Order 35. In December 1973, Florence County joined the Commission, bringing the total number of counties within the region to eight. The Commission serves a region in northeastern Wisconsin consisting of the counties of Brown, Door, Florence, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Marinette, Oconto, and Sheboygan. The Bay-Lake Region is comprised of 185 units of government: 8 counties, 17 cities, 39 villages, 120 towns, and the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. The total area of the region is 5,433 square miles or 9.7 percent of the area of the State of Wisconsin. The region has over 400 miles of coastal shoreline along Lake Michigan and Green Bay and contains 12 major watershed areas that drain into the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.

Dr. Douglas Hurt Dr. Mark Palmer Dr. Anna Ball DEDICATION I am happy to dedicate this work to my family, especially my beautiful fiancé Nikki. I could not have done it without her help and support, and I look forward to the next chapter in our lives together. We made it! My parents, both Annette and Mark Erbes and Jim and Kathy Keating, gave me important support during my time at Mizzou, including even finding some historical markers for me in the deepest, darkest corners of rural northern Michigan. I am very thankful for their help and emotional encouragement throughout my graduate career. I also want to thank my fellow graduate students in the Geography department. The advice, venting, laughter, and intellectual conversations (serious or otherwise) that took place in Room 2 were greatly needed at many times throughout the past two years, and my colleagues were always there to provide it.

Research interests My broad field of expertise is sea ice geophysics, but my research interests encompass climate change, coastal dynamics, ice-ocean interaction and the relationship between humans and sea ice. Arctic sea ice is a rapidly changing component of the global climate system and reports of its retreat make frequent headlines in international media. My research interests include the local implications of these changes for the Arctic residents. Sea ice geophysics also has an important role to play in providing data and information to stake holders and policy makers as commercial interests in the Arctic grow. At the opposite end of the world, Antarctic sea ice is not undergoing the same reduction in extent. The two Polar Regions are geographically very different from each other, so a difference should not be surprising.

    Glacial Geology of the Stony Brook-Setauket-Port Jefferson Area1 Gilbert N. Hanson Department of Geosciences Stony Brook University Stony Brook, NY 11794-2100 Fig. 1 Digital elevation model of Long Island High resolution digital elevation models are available for the State of New York including Long Island. These have a horizontal resolution of 10 meters and are based on 7.5' topographic maps. For those quadrangles with 10' contour intervals, interpolation results in elevations with an uncertainty of about 4'. The appearance is as if one were viewing color-enhanced images of a barren terrain, for example Mars (see Fig. 1). This allows one to see much greater detail than is possible on a standard topographic map. The images shown on this web site have a much lower resolution than are obtainable from the files directly. Digital Elevation Models for Long Island and surrounding area can be downloaded as self extracting zip files at http://www.geo.sunysb.edu/reports/dem_2/dems/ A ca. five foot long version (jpg) of the DEM of Long Island (see above except with scale and north arrow) for printing can be downloaded at this link. A DEM of Long Island (shown above in Fig. 1) in PowerPoint can be downloaded at this link. The geomorphology of Long Island has been evaluated earlier based on US Geological Survey topographic maps (see for example, Fuller, 1914; and Sirkin, 1983). Most of the observations presented here are consistent with previous interpretations. Reference to earlier work is made mainly where there is a significant disagree- ment based on the higher quality of the information obtainable from the DEM's.
