In recent years, Westport residents noticed that the salt marsh islands in the Westport Rivers, particularly in the West Branch, were disappearing rapidly. In response, the Westport Fishermen’s Association, the Buzzards Bay Coalition, the Marine Biological Laboratory Ecosystems Center, and the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program partnered to measure the rate of salt marsh loss in the Westport Rivers and try to identify causes of this erosion
West Falmouth Nitrogen-Reducing Septic System Demonstration Project - May 201...Buzzards Bay Coalition
The West Falmouth Nitrogen-Reducing Septic System Demonstration Project illustrates how nitrogen pollution can be reduced by upgrading on-site septic systems and cesspools.
The Buzzards Bay Coalition protected over 200 acres around Allens Pond in Dartmouth, one of the largest land conservation projects in Buzzards Bay's history. The Coalition also continued to expand septic system pilot projects around the bay to reduce nitrogen pollution by 80% and protected nearly 1500 acres of land in the Mattapoisett River Valley over the past 15 years to protect drinking water sources.
This document is a newsletter from the Buzzards Bay Coalition that summarizes their work over the past year to protect Buzzards Bay. It discusses encouraging signs of a pause in nitrogen pollution levels for the first time in over a decade. It also highlights several of the Coalition's conservation projects, including expanding protected lands along the Mattapoisett River to protect drinking water, restoring a dam site on the Weweantic River, and reducing invasive phragmites in three salt ponds. The newsletter promotes upcoming events like the Buzzards Bay Swim and Watershed Ride and encourages support through donations and volunteering.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2015 State of Buzzards Bay report. It finds that the overall state of the bay score has remained unchanged at 45 out of 100 since 2011, reflecting an encouraging pause in the decline of nitrogen pollution indicators after years of improvement. Specifically:
- The nitrogen pollution indicator score was unchanged at 53, suggesting efforts to reduce sources of nitrogen are containing further declines.
- Bacteria and toxics scores were also unchanged at 62 and 52 respectively, as improvements in these areas have leveled off.
- Scores for watershed health factors like forests, streams, and wetlands remained stable, showing ongoing protection of these important habitats.
The 2015 annual report summarizes the Buzzards Bay Coalition's accomplishments in protecting and restoring Buzzards Bay. Key projects included upgrading septic systems in West Falmouth Harbor to reduce nitrogen pollution, analyzing effects of climate change on water quality, and advocating for a full cleanup of toxic PCBs in New Bedford Harbor. Looking ahead, the Coalition aims to expand wastewater treatment collaboration between Wareham, Bourne, Plymouth and Massachusetts Maritime Academy. The report also celebrates the recent completion of the Nasketucket Bay Land Conservation Project which protected 416 acres of coastal land.
This document summarizes the 2011 State of Buzzards Bay report. The overall score for Buzzards Bay remained at 45 out of 100, as improvements in reducing old pollution sources were offset by increasing nitrogen pollution from development. Specifically:
- Nitrogen pollution decreased the score 3 points to 53, as septic systems continue to be the largest source of nitrogen entering the bay.
- Bacteria levels improved 5 points to 62, though shellfish harvesting remains closed in many areas due to contamination.
- Toxics improved 5 points to 52, though legacy pollution continues to impact areas like New Bedford Harbor.
- Forest and wetland coverage showed little change, while development continues to destroy coastal habitats.
The Buzzards Bay Coalition is working on several projects to protect and restore Buzzards Bay. They helped homeowners in West Falmouth upgrade septic systems to reduce nitrogen pollution in West Falmouth Harbor. They opened the Shaw Farm Trail, connecting a state reservation to a bike path and creating new access to Nasketucket Bay. The Coalition is also exploring creating an Onset Bay Discovery Center to offer activities like kayaking and help more people explore Buzzards Bay.
The annual report summarizes the Buzzards Bay Coalition's accomplishments in 2014, including landmark land preservation around Nasketucket Bay, research on nitrogen pollution reduction with cranberry farmers, and growth in community engagement programs. It discusses the Coalition's strategic plan for 2015-2020 to tackle challenges facing Buzzards Bay through new initiatives focused on land, water, and community. It recognizes the passing of Chip Morse, who served on the Coalition's board of directors for 11 years and co-chaired its $11.2 million fundraising campaign.
- The study measured nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and estimated water flows in and out of two common types of cranberry bogs over two growing seasons to calculate nutrient fluxes.
- Results found variable concentrations that made defining averages difficult, but fluxes were in the range of previous studies. Phosphorus tended to be highest in outflow during harvest floods.
- Scaling bog fluxes to the whole watershed led to similar conclusions as other studies about the proportion of nitrogen coming from bogs. Future work should better quantify water flows and increase sampling frequency.
- Other related research includes continuous monitoring of multiple bogs to better understand nutrients in floods and storms. This will provide improved data for watershed models.
This document is a newsletter from the Buzzards Bay Coalition that provides updates on their work to protect Buzzards Bay. It discusses multiple projects, including upgrading septic systems and researching ways to reduce nitrogen pollution on Cape Cod. It also mentions restoring land around the Acushnet River in New Bedford and Dartmouth and protecting land in West Falmouth. The newsletter encourages support for the Coalition's efforts to address threats like oil spills and development impacts while improving access to the bay.

The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
(Q)SAR Assessment Framework: Guidance for Assessing (Q)SAR Models and Predict...hannahthabet
The webinar provided an overview of the new OECD (Q)SAR Assessment Framework for evaluating the scientific validity of (Q)SAR models, predictions, and results from multiple predictions. The QAF provides assessment elements for existing principles for evaluating models, as well as new principles for evaluating predictions and results. In addition to the principles, assessment elements, and guidance for evaluating each element, the QAF includes a checklist for reporting assessments.
This new Framework provides regulators with a consistent and transparent approach for reviewing the use of (Q)SAR predictions in a regulatory context and increases the confidence to accept alternative methods for evaluating chemical hazards. The OECD worked closely together with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italy) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), supported by a variety of international experts to develop a checklist of criteria and guidance for evaluating each criterion. The aim of the QAF is to help establish confidence in the use of (Q)SARs in evaluating chemical safety, and was designed to be applicable irrespective of the modelling technique used to build the model, the predicted endpoint, and the intended regulatory purpose.
The webinar provided an overview of the project and presented the main aspects of the framework for assessing models and results based on individual or multiple predictions.
