The small streams that run through neighborhoods play a critical role in filtering out the nitrogen that feeds the algae blooms. A new study published by 31 scientists from across the country in the journal Nature sheds new light on streams’ role as a nitrogen filter. “Excess nitrogen in streams is caused in large part by human activities, particularly overuse of nitrogen-based fertilizers, says Patrick Mulholland, the study’s lead author and a researcher with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, “and as nitrogen accumulates in increasingly larger bodies of water, it feeds the harmful algae growth that leads to red tide.” The streams included in the study were located across a wide variety of regions used for many different uses so scientists were able to get a “Save Trestles” die-hard activists Michael Metcalf and Jerry Collamer in the broad perspective on how streams act as nitrogen filters. sea of protestors.

  • The Tragicomedy of the Surfers'commons
    THE TRAGICOMEDY OF THE SURFERS ’ COMMONS DANIEL NAZER * I INTRODUCTION Ideally, the introduction to this article would contain two photos. One would be a photo of Lunada Bay. Lunada Bay is a rocky, horseshoe-shaped bay below a green park in the Palos Verdes neighbourhood of Los Angeles. It is a spectacular surf break, offering long and powerful rides. The other photograph would be of horrific injuries sustained by Nat Young, a former world surfing champion. Nat Young was severely beaten after a dispute that began as an argument over who had priority on a wave. These two images would help a non-surfer understand the stakes involved when surfers compete for waves. The waves themselves are an extraordinary resource lying at the centre of many surfers’ lives. The high value many surfers place on surfing means that competition for crowded waves can evoke strong emo- tions. At its worst, this competition can escalate to serious assaults such as that suffered by Nat Young. Surfing is no longer the idiosyncratic pursuit of a small counterculture. In fact, the popularity of surfing has exploded to the point where it is not only within the main- stream, it is big business. 1 And while the number of surfers continues to increase, * Law Clerk for Chief Judge William K.

Professional female surfers, in particular, are drawing greater media attention than ever before and are seen by surf companies as the perfect vehicle to develop this global industry further. Because lifestyle branding has been developed as a modern marketing strategy, this thesis examines the lifestyle marketing practices of the three major surfing companies Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy through an investigation of the sponsorship experiences of fifteen sponsored female surfers. The research paradigm guiding this study is an interpretive approach that applies Doris Lessing’s (1991) concept of conformity and Michel Foucault’s (1979) notion of surveillance and the technologies of the self. An ethnographic approach was utilised to examine the main research purpose, namely to: determine the impact of lifestyle marketing by Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy on sponsored female surfers.
