ESTABLISHING OFFSHORE SHELLFISH AQUACULTURE IN FEDERAL WATERS OF THE ATLANTICTedManey
Presentation at Shellfish Aquaculture in Federal Waters Workshop
May 15 & 16, 2019
Cat Cove Marine Lab, Salem State University, Salem MA 01970
In 2012, we applied for an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 to establish a commercial scale (33 acre) offshore mussel farm off the coast of Cape Ann Massachusetts (NAE-2012-1598 NEMAC Aquaculture). In 2015 we were issued a permit with conditions from the USACE and NOAA that involved a phased-in approach, in which three longlines could be deployed with gear designed to prevent and minimize possible entanglement as a pilot study coupled with extensive monitoring for interactions with species that are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act, and their habitats. Additional conditions from the USCG required our longline headers to be submerged to a depth of 50 ft to account for possible deep draft vessels transiting through the area.
This report will focus on the process of securing an USACE permit to establish this farm and disseminate what was learned about this process to others wishing to pursue offshore shellfish aquaculture.
Recent presentation on assessing how U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Hurricane Sandy Resilience projects will improve community and ecosystem resilience to sea level rise, storm events and other threats. Presentation highlights development of ecological and socio-economic metrics and provides project examples, marsh restoration, beach restoration, living shorelines and aquatic connectivity (dam removal) of metrics being used to evaluate project performance.

The technology supporting Unmanned Vehicles - land, sea and air - is rapidly improving. Unmanned vehicles are making large inroads into Search and Rescue (SAR) response. In the near future, Unmanned Marine Vehicles (UMVs) will likely play a role in Maritime SAR response. Do UMVs have a potential role in Maritime SAR Systems, and if so, what roles could they fulfil?

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
