A Description Of The Commercial Marine Fisheries Of Virginia, James Zaborski
A Description Of The Commercial Marine Fisheries Of Virginia, James Zaborski
Reports
The magnitude and valtte of the fisheries of Virginia are significant. Expansion of some fisheries since 1977 in conjunctio~ with rising prices for fishery products in general has increased the importance of this industry to the Commonwealth. Virginia's fisheries are varied, some segments of the industry such as the oyster fishery have been in existence since colonial days; others, such as the surf clam fishery, are relatively new. The size and composition of the different industries also differ widely. The menhaden fishery exempli~ies what might be termed corporate fishing while the blue crab fishery is conducted by numerous individual owner-operators. …

A Report To The Oyster Industry Of Virginia On The Biology And Management Of The Cownose Ray (Rhinoptera Bonasus, Mitchill) In Lower Chesapeake Bay, John V. Merriner, Joseph W. Smith
Reports
The purpose of this report is to: (1) suggest reasons for the recently observed cownose ray predation on Rappahannock River oyster beds and the apparent increased abundance of the ray, and (2) recommend short- and long-term methods to control and/or manage cownose ray predation on commercially important sh1ellfish beds.
Middle Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Studies Volume 1: Executive Summary, E. M. Burreson, H. J. Knebel
Middle Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Studies Volume 1: Executive Summary, E. M. Burreson, H. J. Knebel
Reports
Increasing demand for petroleum and natural gas in the United States has led to a need for development of reliable new domestic sources. The Outer Continental Shelf of the United States holds great interest among the oil companies for possible exploration and development of oil and gas resources to meet this need. This interest was demonstrated for the Middle Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf in the oil companies' response to the lease sale conducted in August 1976. Of the 154 tracts comprising 876,750 acres offered for lease in August 1975 for exploratory drilling in the Baltimore Canyon Trough (Figure 1), oil …

Summary Of Shoreline Situation Reports For Virginia's Tidewater Localities, Carl H. Hobbs Iii, Dennis W. Owen, Lynne C. Morgan
Reports
This summary report marks the completion of the Shoreline Situation Report project. For over six years project team members with the Department of Geological Oceanography at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science have inventoried over 5,000 miles of shoreline in Tidewater Virginia. The methodology was developed and evaluated with funding through the Chesapeake Research Consortium, Inc. from the Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) program of the National Science Foundation. After preliminary evaluation as to its worth, the project became part of Virginia's Coastal Resources Management Program, supported by the Office of Conmerce and Resources with funds provided by the …

Manual Of Water Quality Models For Virginia Estuaries, Albert Y. Kuo, Paul V. Hyer, C. S. Fang
Reports
It is not the purpose of this manual to make a nonmodeler able to develop a model by reading through it, since no manual of this nature can accomplish such a task. This manual is intended to increase the planner or manager's options by acquainting him with various types of models and informing him of the availability of currently working models. This manual contains the following: 1. A scheme indicating the types of water quality models which could be constructed, i.e. an overview of choices in models. 2. A brief description of each type of models developed under the Cooperative …
