Reports

The Virginia Institute of Marine Science, in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Soil and Water Conservation, has identified as one of its major goals the systematic study of hydrodynamic processes that affect recreational, shoreline and benthic resources in the coastal zone of the Commonwealth. In pursuit of that goal, a long-term study of the wave climate in the Virginia portion of Chesapeake Bay was initiated in 1988 with support from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration through the Coastal Zone Management Program administered by the Virginia Council on the Environment (Grant Ho. HA88AA-D-CZ092). Past …


A Survey Of Compensatory Mitigation Within The Tidal Wetlands Of Virginia, Thomas A. Barnard, Pamela Mason Feb 1990

A Survey Of Compensatory Mitigation Within The Tidal Wetlands Of Virginia, Thomas A. Barnard, Pamela Mason

Reports

This study has as its primary purpose an examination of how compensatory mitigation has worked as a wetlands management tool to date in Virginia (i.e. how well theory has been put into practice). Our approach was to look at the overall use of compensation in coastal Virginia based on regulatory records and to examine as many existing created wetlands as possible within the tidal area of the state to determine how closely these projects have come, collectively, to fulfilling the compensatory goal of wetland replacement. Secondary objectives includes an examination of the literature regarding wetland compensation concept evaluation and to …

Monitoring Seagrass Distribution And Abundance Patterns: A Case Study From The Chesapeake Bay, Robert J. Orth, Kenneth A. Moore, Judith F. Nowak

VIMS Books and Book Chapters

Seagrasses, or submerged aquatic vegetation (SA V), have been mapped in the Chesapeake Bay five times between 1978 and 1987 with standard aerial photographic techniques, resulting in annual reports on SAV distribution. Acquisition of the vertical photography at a scale of 1:24,000, adhering to strict quality-assurance guidelines based on sun angle, tidal stage, cloud cover, wind speed, and season, has produced excellent, high-contrast imagery delineating beds of SAV from adjacent, unvegetated areas. Ground-truthing data from various State, Federal, and public organizations have corroborated the photographic data base. (more ...)


Effects Of Low Dissolved Oxygen On The Macrobenthos Of The Lower Rappahannock River, Chesapeake Bay, Roberto Javier Llanso Jan 1990

Effects Of Low Dissolved Oxygen On The Macrobenthos Of The Lower Rappahannock River, Chesapeake Bay, Roberto Javier Llanso

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The lower Rappahannock River, a subestuary of the Chesapeake Bay, is affected by seasonal low dissolved oxygen events that are intermittent and vary in intensity. Overall, macrobenthic abundance and species number were low, decreasing towards the channel and upriver, where dissolved oxygen concentrations were lowest. Mortality of macrobenthos in early summer was attributed to hypoxia. Species abundances and number declined with the onset of hypoxia, and did not recover in the deep channel until the fall. Tolerance of macrobenthos to hypoxia appeared to be species-specific. Recruitment of hesionid polychaetes occurred in summer during normoxia, but mortality followed during hypoxia, suggesting …


Analysis Of Organic Pollutants In Sediments And Blue Crab (Callinectes Sapidus) Tissues : Final Report To Virginia State Water Control Board, John Greaves Jan 1990

Analysis Of Organic Pollutants In Sediments And Blue Crab (Callinectes Sapidus) Tissues : Final Report To Virginia State Water Control Board, John Greaves

Reports

The Elizabeth River is a highly industrialized waterway that divides the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth at its confluence with the lower Chesapeake Bay. It is home to the largest Naval base on the East Coast, numerous ship repair facilities, bulk and containerized cargo facilities, industrial and urban activities and wood creosoting (preserving) operations (all except one have been abandoned). This degree of industrialization has resulted in the pollution of the river, with high concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH, Bieri et al., 1986). A major contributor to the pollution problem has been the wood processing industry which, due to …


Dissolved Oxygen Conditions In The Machipongo River System Near Willis Wharf, Va, Bruce Neilson, Nancy Wilson Jan 1990

Dissolved Oxygen Conditions In The Machipongo River System Near Willis Wharf, Va, Bruce Neilson, Nancy Wilson

Reports

Water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentrations were monitored at two sites in the Machipongo River system in early summer of 1989 and late summer of 1990. The two study sites have been designated as "Willis Wharf" and "Quinby." The Machipongo River system and the two sampling locations are shown in Figure 1.

Atmospheric Input Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons To The Sea Surface Microlayer, Lino J. Gallo Jan 1990

Atmospheric Input Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons To The Sea Surface Microlayer, Lino J. Gallo

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Atmospheric input of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to water was studied and the effects of sea surface microlayer (SSM) determined. The York River system and the Perrin River areas were monitored with a drum skimmer and a high volume air sampler. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The SSM extracted vapor phase PAH of low molecular weight from the air, and there, aromatic compounds went from dissolved into particulate phase very rapidly. Water covered with a natural SSM received much less atmospheric input of PAH than water without SSM in a given period of time. Henry's law …
