The diverse natural ecosystems and hydrology found within the Loxahatchee River's watershed are unique, beginning with the Atlantic which feeds its marine waters inshore through the Inlet at Jupiter. Just inshore, the river broadens into the aquatic preserves of Indian River Lagoon, an estuary where saline waters blend with freshwaters to create a rich and productive habitat. Continuing westerly, the freshwater reaches the vast wetlands and Loxahatchee Slough. The Loxahatchee River watershed includes the communities of Hobe Sound, Tequesta, Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Jupiter Farms, Juno Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. This watershed contains large tracts of undisturbed land such as the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and West Jupiter Wetlands (formerly Pal-Mar) as well as protected parcels such as the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area, Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Loxahatchee Slough Preserve and the Jupiter Ridge Natural Area. It also contains managed agricultural lands and areas impacted by urban and suburban development, including industrial sites. Unfortunately, urban development is threatening these diverse habitats. Over the last 50 years, flood control, major road construction and dredging have taken their toll on the Loxahatchee River watershed. Some of the negative effects of this development include:

The Murray, while Australia's most important river, empties into the sea in a series of unspectacular channels and bars. At times of low flow, the river fails completely to reach the sea. In historical times the river's mouth has become choked with sand. The Murray-Darling Basin, the area drained by this river system, is a large and complex region, with many features of interest to geomorphologists, including landforms inherited from the past. FLINDERS THEMES: The relationship with Baudin's expedition Nearby Encounter Bay bay was the meeting place of two great maritime expeditions of discovery, led by Flinders and Frenchman Baudin. Neither expedition discovered the mouth of the Murray River, perhaps because they were distracted by other events at this time. The topography of the Mouth, and the seasonal nature of the river's flow, make discovery difficult from the sea - many of Australia's rivers were discovered by land-based explorers. On Flinders' chart the following description appears, along what is now called the Coorong; 'low, sandy shore'. This coastline offered no direct clues to the existence of the Murray River. There is a blank on his chart at the position of the mouth - he missed viewing and charting that area. Even if he had seen that portion of coast it is not certain what could have been determined of the Murray Mouth from sailing by at the 'standard' distance from the coast. Ironically, Flinders had hoped to find on this expedition (ie. the

SMART: Sustainable Management of Scarce Resources in the Coastal Zone RRM Rainfall Runoff Model WRM Water Resources Model Model Time Series Monitoring data ... PPT Presentation TURKEY: Gediz River Basin, Izmir The second issue to be investigated is the sustainable management of water resources in the Izmir urban and rural area where coastal interactions are significant. This problem reflects not only a regional character but also national significance, as Izmir is the third largest city in the country and an important harbour along the Aegean. The Gediz River discharges into the outer Izmir Bay. However, there are strong interactions between the basin and the Izmir rural area, as the Izmir metropolitan area consumes a significant portion of the groundwater resources of the Gediz Basin without feeding it back to the basin. As the city is continuously growing, its pressure on water resources of the basin is also increasing. There are two important industrial areas in the Basin. The largest is in the Nif Valley immediately east of Izmir in Kemalpasa municipality. There is also a growing industrial estate in the western edge of the city of Manisa. Izmir, together with its suburban areas and "satellite cities", is a major industrial area. At present, the city of Izmir is burdened by a structure of development factors, which endanger the quality of the environment (polluting industries, etc.) This, coupled with difficulties to establish an appropriate and well coordinated control over the use of natural resources and pollution, brought about environmental degradation, resource depletion and pollution-related damages.

SMART: Sustainable Management of Scarce Resources in the Coastal Zone Model Time Series RRM Model WRM Model GIS DATA ... Image Gallery LEBANON: Tripoli and the Batroun Coastal Area The case study addresses the City of Tripoli and the Batroun Coastal Area. The area stretches along the northern Lebanese coast covering Tripoli City to the north, the second largest in Lebanon, southward to the town of Batroun. The coastline length is about 30km, and the coastal zone width varies between 8-12km inland. The area typifies the Lebanese coast in consisting of a narrow plain followed inland by a series of foothills, plateau, then rising through steep slopes to the coastal mountain chain. It is crossed by a river (Abou Ali) passing in Tripoli and another minor one (El-Jawz) near Batroun, with intermittent streams, dendrite drainage and dry wadis. It is hot sub- humid at the coast becoming milder inland. Tourist pressure is a matter of concern in the area as it is typical of the Region, and there is a fairly dense road network for easy accessibility. There are many venues of significance, both in the cities, and scattered elsewhere including archaeological as well as scenic sites inland along the coastal valleys. Most tourism takes place in summer when water is at its lowest. Precipitation essentially covers two ranges from coastline inward, 800- 950mm, and 900-1,000mm annually, though it falls within 3-4 months episodically and often torrential. But almost 50% of the water is lost through evaporation. Karst systems are rather well developed, which explains both the fresh-water springs in the marine environment and seawater intrusion through fractures and conduits, especially where water demand is stressing. Water wells are drilled abundantly, and yet with very loose control, further stressing the hydro-regime. Excessive water pumping resulted in salinisation of the ground and water that reflects on the secondary soil salinity and farmers income.

Land cover changes due to human population growth and attendant impacts on fishery habitat, adjacent uplands, water quality, and living marine resources occur faster and more pervasively than we previously have been able to monitor. Information about the extent and rate of habitat degradation and loss is needed for sound resource management decisions. Approach Quantifying changes in the areal extent of wetlands and adjacent uplands is critical for linking land-based human activities to coastal ocean productivity. The Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) uses satellite imagery and aerial photography to monitor areal extent, functional status and change in these critical habitats. C-CAP is cooperating with EPA's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory, the U.S. Geological Survey, and other Federal and State agencies. C-CAP has been divided into three project areas: protocol development, regional change analysis, and remote sensing of wetland health.

The Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment Hearing on Louisiana Coastal Area – Addressing Decades of Coastal Erosion TABLE OF CONTENTS Click on Section PURPOSE BACKGROUND WITNESSES HEARING TRANSCRIPT PURPOSE The Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee is scheduled to meet on Thursday, July 15, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. in 2167 Rayburn House Office Building, to receive testimony on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ proposed Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration Project. Witnesses may include representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), the State of Louisiana, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the Houma Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce, Port Fourchon, and the Shell Pipeline Company. BACKGROUND Louisiana’s coastal area include about 30 percent of the nation’s coastal marshes, but about 90 percent of the coastal land loss in the lower 48 states is occurring in this area. Over 1 million acres of the Louisiana coastal area have become open water since the 1930’s. Another one-third of a million acres could be lost in the next 50 years unless corrective actions are taken. The Louisiana coastal wetlands exist in the interface of the freshwater from coastal rivers including the Mississippi River and the saltwater of the Gulf of Mexico. It is the nursery grounds for much of the nation’s seafood. This area once included more extensive marsh and barrier islands that served as a protective zone that buffered the effects of large storms that would otherwise severely damage developed areas farther inland. This natural protective barrier has now been severely reduced. There are thousands of oil and gas wells along the coast with an associated network of pipelines and channels. In addition, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway traverses the area.

The Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Field Hearing on Delaware River Oil Spill TABLE OF CONTENTS Click on Section PURPOSE BACKGROUND WITNESSES PURPOSE The Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation will meet to review the circumstances that led to a discharge of oil from the M/V ATHOS I into waters of the Delaware River on November 26, 2004, and the response to the discharge by the vessel owner, and the Federal agencies. The Subcommittee will examine the response of Federal and State agencies to the spill and whether these agencies had all assets necessary to minimize the environmental and economic damages from this incident. BACKGROUND M/V ATHOS I Oil Spill Incident On Friday, November 26th, the M/V ATHOS I, a 750-foot, single-hull tanker, struck a submerged object while being maneuvered to a berth at a Citgo facility on the Delaware River near Paulsboro, New Jersey. At the time of the incident, the vessel was under the control of a licensed river pilot, and was being aided by a tug. The grounding caused the vessel to lose power and resulted in a release of heavy crude oil from the vessel’s oil storage tanks. Inspection of the vessel’s hull revealed a six-foot by two-foot hole in the aft centerline tank and a one-foot by two-foot puncture hole in the aft wing tank. After an investigation by a survey team comprised of members of the U.S. Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a representative for the vessel owner, the cause of the breaches in the hull was determined to be large section of iron pump housing that was partially submerged in river sediments. The housing weighed approximately 12 tons and was approximately 12’6” long, 6’3” high and 3’4” wide (see attached photos).

The Hudson Bay coastline represents important social and cultural values, in terms of historical sites and the recreational and traditional activities that are important aspects of life for many people in Churchill. Aboriginal peoples have frequented the region for many centuries, as the numerous artifacts found throughout the coastal area attest (Beals, 1968). European explorers founded a fur trading post at the town site; the post existed from the 1600s until the early 1900s, and evidence of it remains at Fort Prince of Wales and Sloop's Cove. The construction of a railway to Hudson Bay, completed in 1929, brought shipping to the region. Military installations and a research rocket range followed; all are now defunct, but their remains are prominent around the town (Newton, 2000). Abundant wildlife and trail access make the coast an important part of town life for harvesting, hunting, and social activities.
