What Are The Best Guidelines For Dredging And Placement Of Dredged Materials?, Maynard N. Nichols Jan 1983

What Are The Best Guidelines For Dredging And Placement Of Dredged Materials?, Maynard N. Nichols

VIMS Books and Book Chapters

During the~ next 25 years, more than 280 millicm cubic yards of sediment will be dredged from the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries (Table 1). Altogether more than 800 million dollars will be spent to deepen ports and maintain shipping channels. About one-third of the maintenance dredgin~; will be done in ports and harbors where the sediment is contaminated by industrial wastes and sewage discharge. Because of long-continued disposal of dredged material, the region is losing its physical capacity to assimilate more material. Where then can these enormous loads be placed at acceptable costs? And what are the best guidelines …

Metabolic And Structural Studies Of Several Temperate Seagrass Communities, With Emphasis On Microalgal Components (Maryland, Virginia, Chesapeake Bay), Laura Murray

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The relative contributions to organic matter production and the interactions between submerged vascular plants and their associated microalgae assemblages were investigated in seagrass communities characteristic of the lower Chesapeake Bay. The studies were conducted in three parts; the first compared production and respiration of the major autotrophic components in adjacent seagrass communities dominated by Zostera marina and Ruppia maritima, respectively. Annual production for the two communities differed; in the Z. marina area microalgal (i.e. phytoplankton and benthic microalgae) production dominated during the summer months, whereas in the R. maritima area, the macrophyte-epiphyte complex dominated throughout the growing season. Both areas …
