Shoreline Erosion In Virginia, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Gary L. Anderson Oct 1980

Shoreline Erosion In Virginia, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Gary L. Anderson

Reports

Virginia has over 5,000 miles of tidal shoreline. Several different shore types occur in the Tidewater region including the low-lying barrier islands of the Eastern Shore, the ocean front headland-barrier spit of southeastern Virginia, and the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries which range from high bluffs to tidal marshes. In order to put shore erosion in proper perspective as a natural phenomenon, one must examine the recent geologic history of the region.

Much of shoreline erosion is a direct product of high energy storms like hurricanes and northeasters. The rate and amount of erosion along a specific …

A Resurvey Of The Hampton Roads Corridor Adjacent To The Proposed Site Of The I-664 Bridge-Tunnel, Dexter S. Haven, Lowell W. Fritz Sep 1980

A Resurvey Of The Hampton Roads Corridor Adjacent To The Proposed Site Of The I-664 Bridge-Tunnel, Dexter S. Haven, Lowell W. Fritz

Reports

On 5 September 1980 a survey was conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) on Melzer's leased bottom (48.37 acres) off Newport News Point, Virginia (Figure 1). The study was done at the request of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, Suffolk, Virginia in relation to the construction of I-664, Projects 0664-121-102, RW-201 and 0664-061-102, RW-201. The objective of this study was to determine the extent and value of the molluscan resource on Melzer's lease prior to construction activity. A second study would examine the area after the bridge-tunnel is completed.

An Investigation Of Sea Scallops (Placopecten Magellanicus) Of The Mid-Atlantic From Commercial Samples In 1979, Lowell W. Fritz

Reports

Bushel samples of sea scallops (Placopecten Uagellanicus) for height-frequency analysis were obtained aboard the colUIIlercial scalloper, VIRGINIA SURF, from the mid-Atlantic region on two trips during the summer of 1979. Fishing effort was concentrated in three areas of the shelf: 1) Sixty miles east of the Virginia-North Carolina border, 2) Seventy miles east of the coast from Cape Henlopen, Delaware to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and 3) Forty-five miles south of Long Island from Moriches Bay to Bridgehampton. Individuals (212) were retained for age analysis from the catches of the two northern areas. The mean size of scallops caught in …

Developing Crab Creek : Fifteen Points Of View On Economy And Ecology In An Estuary : A Simulation For Advanced Students Exploring Coastal Resource Management Decisions In Virginia, Frances Lee Lawrence

Reports

Crab Creek County is a hypothetical small Virginia county on. the Chesapeake Bay. This· simulation explores the coastal management issues involved in developing a point of land in Crab Creek County fronting on the Chesapeake Bay to the North, and Crab Creek to the South. The game is based on key Virginia and federal laws and agencies affecting coastal resources, and provides insights into the human and technical interactions involved in the "permitting" processes. Players fill fifteen roles representative of private interests as well as local, state, and federal activities. more...

New Species And A Review Of The Deep-Sea Fish Genus Asquamiceps (Salmoniformes, Alepocephalidae), Df Markle Jan 1980

New Species And A Review Of The Deep-Sea Fish Genus Asquamiceps (Salmoniformes, Alepocephalidae), Df Markle

VIMS Articles

A new species of Asqllamiceps with a striking cobalt blue head is described from specimens collected at bathypelagic (ca. 2,000 m) depths in the Atlantic Ocean. The new species is compared to the five nominal species in the genus and a key to Asqllamiceps is presented. One nominal species. A. indagatio, is treated as a junior synonym of A. velaris. The anatomy of A. caerlilells suggests a relatively primitive grade within the family. The caudal skeleton, with two to four ural centra, four uroneurals, and the distal edge of the lower hypurals ahead of the distal edge of the upper …
