Categorization Of Shellfish Tmdl Sites Final Report, Julie Herman, Carl Hershner, Howard Kator Jun 2003

Categorization Of Shellfish Tmdl Sites Final Report, Julie Herman, Carl Hershner, Howard Kator

Reports

There were two important goals for this project, including the assembly and compilation of digital data for the Coastal Plain and tidal waters of Virginia, and the categorization of the Division of Shellfish Sanitation (DSS) shellfish growing areas to determine if some are similar enough for water quality models to be effectively transferred from the modeled growing areas to other areas. This report summarizes the data and statistical analyses and discusses the results. Note: The digital data has a very fine resolution. The maps displayed in this report cannot convey this information on 8.5x11" paper. All digital data layers (shape …

Mathews County Dune Inventory, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Donna A. Milligan, Lyle M. Varnell, George R. Thomas, Linda M. Meneghini, Thomas A. Barnard, Sharon A. Killeen Apr 2003

Mathews County Dune Inventory, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Donna A. Milligan, Lyle M. Varnell, George R. Thomas, Linda M. Meneghini, Thomas A. Barnard, Sharon A. Killeen

Reports

Mathews County, Virginia is located along the western shore of Chesapeake Bay and is at the eastern end of Virginia’s Middle Peninsula (Figure 1). Eighteen dune sites were identified along the Mathews County shoreline by site visits performed in 1999 and 2000. Of those 18 sites, 13 are located on Chesapeake Bay (Figure 2). It is the intent of this publication to provide the user with information on the status of dunes in Mathews County. This information comes from research performed in 1999 and 2000 which was presented in a report entitled “Chesapeake Bay Dune Systems: Evolution and Status (Hardaway …

Reports

Northumberland County, Virginia is located on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. Primary tidal shorelines extend from Smith Point southward to Indian Creek along Chesapeake Bay and northwestward up the Potomac River to the Yeocomico River. Fifty-nine (59) dune sites were identified along the Northumberland County shoreline. Thirty seven (37) were located on Chesapeake Bay and the remainder along the Potomac River. It is the intent of this publication to provide the user with information on the status of dunes in Northumberland County. This information comes from research performed in 1999 and 2000 which was presented in a report entitled …

Initiating The Development Of A Forested Depressional Wetland Hgm Model For The Coastal Plain Of Virginia., Kirk J. Havens, David O'Brien, David Stanhope, Rebecca Thomas, Gene Silberhorn

Reports

This report encompasses the initial development of a WDW model up to the preliminary development stage and serves as an initial framework for a WDW model for the coastal plain of Virginia. These results can serve as a foundation for subsequent studies to complete the development of the model.

Dorchester County, Maryland Shoreline Situation Report Methods And Guidelines - Gis Data, Alaude Barbosa, Marcia Berman, Harry Berquist, Sharon Dewing, Carl Hershner, Helen Rea, Tamia Rudnicky, Daniel E. Schatt, David Weiss, Helen Woods Jan 2003

Dorchester County, Maryland Shoreline Situation Report Methods And Guidelines - Gis Data, Alaude Barbosa, Marcia Berman, Harry Berquist, Sharon Dewing, Carl Hershner, Helen Rea, Tamia Rudnicky, Daniel E. Schatt, David Weiss, Helen Woods

Data

The Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM) at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) has generated Shoreline Situation Reports (SSRs) for coastal localities in the state of Maryland. This effort compliments a parallel effort in Virginia by the same group. SSRs were developed by VIMS in the 1970s for Virginia and have been the foundation for shoreline management planning in Tidewater Virginia ever since. CCRM has developed new protocols for collecting, disseminating, and reporting data relevant to shoreline management issues using state of the art mapping and remote sensing techniques. New SSRs are being generated on a county by …

National Coastal Assessment Program 2003 Assessing Virginia’S Estuaries And Tidal Tributaries To Chesapeake Bay And The Atlantic Ocean July Through September 2003, Wendy Lowery, Hank Brooks, Marcel Montaine, Herb Austin Jan 2003

National Coastal Assessment Program 2003 Assessing Virginia’S Estuaries And Tidal Tributaries To Chesapeake Bay And The Atlantic Ocean July Through September 2003, Wendy Lowery, Hank Brooks, Marcel Montaine, Herb Austin

Reports

The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) participated in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Coastal Assessment (NCA) in 2003. As in the previous three years, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) through EPA grant funds contracted VIMS to collect fish at pre-determined stations. Data on invertebrate community structure and bottom habitat were collected also. VIMS’ responsibilities included collection, documentation and verification of all data and the storage of samples for future delivery to DEQ.
