Analysis Of Temporal And Spatial Variations In Vegetation Communities For The Buxton Woods Region Of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Marcia Berman, Gene Silberhorn, Carl Hershner

Reports

Residential development and growth along private lands bordering the southern portion of Cape Hatteras may be increasing at a rate inconsistent with the current water supply and demand. In the late 1960's and again in the late 1970's a series of wells were drilled to supply area residences and businesses with potable water from the local shallow water aquifer. Today, additional wells are being considered to serve the expanding community of Buxton Woods.

At the same time, the National Park Service maintains a series of ditches for both mosquito and flood control management. A large ditch which trends approximately northeast/southwest …

Effects Of Sand-Mining On Benthic Communities And Resource Value : Thimble Shoal, Lower Chesapeake Bay, Linda C. Schaffner, Michele A. Horvath, Carl H. Hobbs Iii

Reports

In August 1990 the City of Hampton placed approximately 276,000 cubic yards of sand from a designated borrow site on Thimble Shoal onto Buck:roe Beach for beach restoration. The Buck:roe reserve identified by Kimball et al. (1989) contains large quantities of beach quality material and is located less then 2.5 km offshore of Buck:roe Beach. In early 1989 a small section (330 m by 240 m) located in 5 m of water was delineated and permitted for dredging. This project represents the first instance of permitted, sand-mining activities for beach nourishment in the lower bay. Although the impacts of the …
