Hydrography And Hydrodynamics Of Virginia Estuaries Xiii: A Report Of The Prototype Data Collected In The York, Back, Poquoson, Piankatank, Great Wicomico And James Rivers For The Chesapeake Bay Model Study During 1973, J. P. Jacobson

Reports

This report describes methods used to collect and process current and salinity data for the York, Back, Poquoson, Piankatank, Great Wicomico and James Rivers, Virginia. Data was collected during 1973 as part of a study which investigates water utilization and control in the Chesapeake Bay Basin. Field procedures, equipment and data processing techniques are discussed in full.

A Socio-Economic Environmental Baseline Summary For The South Atlantic Region Between Cape Hatteras, North Carolina And Cape Canaveral, Florida - Volume Iii: Chemical And Biological Oceanography, Virginia Institute Of Marine Science

Reports

The geographic area covered in this report extends from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, on the north, to Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the south. Included within this area are portions of the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia. All or portions of thirty coastal counties are included within the study area.

From a chemical standpoint, the area is characterized by nutrient input from rivers, especially nitrogen, resulting in low phytoplankton production. Heavy detritus loads from adjacent salt marches keep the oxygen level in estuaries below saturation. These streams have little capacity to assimilate additional oxygen demand.

Zoogeographically, the area comprises …

The Effect Of Sewage Effluents And Their Constituents Upon The Vegetative Growth Of Ulva Lactuca Linnaeus 1753 (Sea-Lettuce) : Progress Report, Frankin D. Ott

Reports

Ulva lactuca Linnaeus 1753, referred to in the vernacular as "Sea Lettuce" is a green, marlne alga often forming large, distromatic blades of considerable size. It usually begins its existence from a single celled, germinating zygote or germinating zoospore. During its early stages it is almost always attached to some object. As it increases in size, it may become detached either by its sheer bulk, or by the action of rough waters . Once it is detached, however, it can continue its growth, often at a very rapid rate, if the environmental conditions are satisfactory. Large pieces may become fragmented …

Lower York River Dissolved Oxygen Study, Robert A. Jordan

Reports

Past studies of the lowerr York River have shown that dissolved oxygen (D .O.) concentrations decline in the summer months, occasionally falling one mg/ 1 near the bottom in deep water (Brehmer,1970; Jordan,1973) . Due to this apparently natural phenomenon the Virginia water quality standards for D.O. in estuaries (4.0 mg/1 allowable minimum, 5 .0 mg/1 minimum daily average, U.S.. E.P.A,1971), are not met during this period . Therefore additional waste-water discharges into the lower York River will not initiate violation of the standards, but may exacerbate the existing situation by extending the area and the time period affected by …

Fungi Associated With Decaying Spartina : Final Report, Frederick Y. Kazamak

Reports

Althfinal report, National Science Foundation grant GA-31899ough marine fungi have been studied since the mid 1800's, there have been relatively few physiological-ecological studies concerning the role of the fungi in the marine environment. Most studies have dealt with lignicolous or sediment-inhabiting fungi (see Johnson and Sparrow, 1961). After the importance of detritus in estuarine energy flow had been established (see Odum and de la Cruz, 1967 for references), there have been a number of papers dealing with the mycoflora of decomposing Spartina (see Gessner and Goos, 1973 a, b) and the mangrove (see Fell and Master, 1973; Newell, 1973).
