Podcasts about coastal waters

A West Clare councillor says he'd see "nothing wrong" with an outright ban on trawling in coastal waters. Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue has opened public consultation on a review of large vessel activity inside what's referred to as the six nautical mile zone. The consultation runs until April 12th and the options set out for the future of trawling range from no change to an outright exclusion of all sea-fishing boats. Kilkee Fianna Fáil Councillor Cillian Murphy says while it's unlikely a ban would be implemented on large vessels fishing within six miles of the coast, he'd be broadly supportive of one.

If you fish in Florida or really anywhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Seaboard you have probably had your fish get eaten on the way in. It is happening everywhere and there is a SHARK EXPLOSION. This is a highly controversial topic because most of the population have been conditioned to believe that Sharks populations are on the decline and somehow they are rare, delicate and almost on the endangered species list. NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH IN FLORIDA. Shark numbers are higher than any professional guides have ever seen in their careers. They are everywhere and they are attacking anglers catches on record levels inshore, offshore and everywhere in between. On today's episode we have Congressman Rob Wittman. The Congressman is an avid outdoorsman and fan of Saltwater Experience. He loves to fish and enjoy the beautiful fisheries our country has to offer. He has also seen the dramatic rise in shark populations and has decided to do something about it. Congressman Rob Whittman came on the show to explain the new legislation he is co-sponsoring to try to help curb the Shark Depredation that is affecting fisherman all up and down our coasts.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 2-4-22.TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of February 7, 2022.  This revised episode from December 2019 is part of a series this year of winter-related episodes. SOUND – ~ 5 sec. This week, we feature a feathered Virginia winter-resident mystery sound.  Have a listen to the sound for about 10 more seconds, and see if you know a relatively small, dark-colored goose species that migrates from Arctic shores to the mid-Atlantic coast for the winter.  And here's a hint: the name rhymes with migrant.SOUNDS - ~10 sec.If you guessed the Brant, you're right!  From its summer breeding grounds in northern Canada and Greenland, the Brant travels to wintering areas along the Atlantic from Massachusetts to North Carolina, including coastal Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay region.  That's the pathway for eastern sub-populations of the species; westernsub-populations migrate from Arctic parts of Canada and Alaska to the Pacific coastline.One of eight species of geese native to North America, Brant live in a variety of saltwater or estuarine habitats, feeding mostly on a number of kinds of aquatic plants.  In their winter habitats along the Atlantic Coast and around the Chesapeake, they prefer areas where they can feed on Eelgrass [Zostera marina].  Wintering Brant will eat various other aquatic plants, too, especially in response to reduced populations of Eelgrass.  According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, however, Brant are more dependent on a single food type than other geese species, and this dependence can make Brant more vulnerable than other geese to starvation in some years.  Regarding Brant winter feeding, the Cornell Lab notes that severe conditions in eastern North America during the winter of 1976 and 1977 kept Brant from traditional winter habitats for several months.  As a result, Brant that year moved inland to feed in agricultural fields, suburban lawns, and golf courses, and over 40 years later, eastern Brant still forage inland from New York to Virginia. Thanks to Lang Elliott for permission to use this week's sounds, from the Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs.  We close with about 40 seconds of music for Brant and other kinds of geese.  Here's “Geese Piece,” by Torrin Hallett, and graduate student at the Yale School of Music. MUSIC - ~43 sec – instrumental.SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Ben Cosgrove for his version of “Shenandoah” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

Physical Description “The adult neck and head are black, except for a broken white crescent on each side of the neck.  The bill is black and the eye is brown.  The chest and foreback are black, sharply defined against the breast and sides.  The back and scapulars are brown with the feathers vaguely tipped with lighter brown.  The rump is dusky brown to dusky, with the sides of the rump white.  The forebreast and sides are pale ashy-gray, and the feathers of the sides are slightly browner, and broadly tipped with white.  The breast, belly and flanks are pale grayish to light grayish-brown.  The feet are black, and the tail is black….” Nesting Habitat and Behavior “This species breeds in Arctic North America, Arctic islands, northern Canada, [and] Greenland off- shore islands, river deltas, marshy uplands, and tundra lakes.  This species is seldom far from the coast.  They use marshy ground, sandy beaches, talus slopes, coastal sedge tundra, lowland coastal tundra just above the high tide line, low islands of tundra lakes and dry inland slopes covered with vegetation, low grass-covered flats dissected by tidal streams, [and] grassy islands and grassy slopes of low mountains near the coast.  The nest site is always in the open, on offshore or lake islands, or on low lying land. …The nest cover is low, thick, grass or sedge mat vegetation.  They nest in colonies. …The nest is initially a depression formed in soggy earth.  Sedges are molded around the scrape and down is later added. …The young are led to tidal flats or pools where they consume quantities of insects as well as grass….” Winter Habitat (of Eastern Sub-populations) “Non-breeding habitat is on the Atlantic Coast from Massachusetts to North Carolina.  They are coastal but also occur in lower Chesapeake Bay, the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, Chincoteague Bay, Gargathy Bay, and Accomack County.  Most of the time the 8000 that winter in Virginia are concentrated in Back Bay, [other] bays, tidal flats with abundant pondweed growth, mudflats, …lagoons, estuaries, saltmarshes, islands, …marine habitat, and shallow expanses of saltwater.  They are most abundant on Chesapeake Bay on the barrier beach side of the bays. They may be in shallow areas of brackish water.  They are gregarious, and often form large rafts on open water while feeding and resting.  They rest on sandbars, and roost on banks or on water near the feeding grounds.” Diet “This species forages in water, mud, and fields.  It immerses the head and neck and grazes or up-ends. This species prefers to feed in bays, shallow plant filled waters on the leeward side of barrier islands, spits, and sandbars and grassy fields.  This species feeds at low tide and does not dive. …The juveniles eat insects, grass, larvae, small crustaceans, sedge, marine invertebrates, mosquito larvae, and pondweed.  Eelgrass is the primary food, and they have been recently feeding extensively on sea lettuce due to the destruction of eelgrass beds.   They may also graze on saltmarsh pastures.  Other foods include moss, lichens, algae, sea lettuce, widgeon grass, …sedge, [and other materials]. …Animal foods are taken accidentally and include fish eggs, worms, snails, amphipods, insects, crustaceans, and clams.  When saltmarshes and bays freeze over, they will graze on grass planted in yards.” SOURCES Used for Audio Chesapeake Bay Program, “Eelgrass,” online at https://www.chesapeakebay.net/discover/field-guide/entry/eelgrass.  Cornell University Lab of Ornithology, “All About Birds,” online at http://www.allaboutbirds.org; the Brant entry is online at https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brant/.

Episode 22 (S2E7) Better late than never! Dr. Angela Osen joins us again to conclude our conversation we started last week. It may have ended a bit abruptly but we decided it would be good to break up the discussion into two parts so here we are. This episode includes talks about the Characteristics of Coastal Waters as it feeds into the larger Estuarine discussion. We then mix things up as we stumble our way through Estuaries. Dr. Osen killed it, JtG and BB not so much. In between the bars is a quick little mineral minute. On the back half we talk about the different types of estuaries and how the water mixes in the different environments. Lastly, we bring up some human impacts and environmental concerns estuaries face. It is all stitched together with tangents here and there (Lunar Sleep Cycles, Permo-Triassic Extinction, Geology Bucket Lists, Maths, etc.) and we polish off the episode with another That Freaking Rocks. Enjoy. Be Cool. Stay Tuned. And Keep It On The Rocks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geology-on-the-rocks/support

Efforts to protect our coastal waters from further degradation are piecemeal, slow and amount to a drop in an ocean of problems. How do we bring life back to the sea? 

Handel first talks about the rising acidity in California's coastal waters!He then goes into the new laws that are impacting the state starting January 1st.And, Curtis Flowers was a man who was tried six times for the same murders! Why?? Handel will explain.

News stories on bees that live perilously close to the mouth of a volcano, diagnosing arthritis in dinosaur bones, and the evolution of the female orgasm, with David Grimm.  From the magazine Rivers deliver water to the ocean but water is also discharged along the coast in a much more diffuse way. This “submarine groundwater discharge” carries dissolved chemicals out to sea. But the underground nature of these outflows makes them difficult to quantify.  Audrey Sawyer talks with Sarah Crespi about the scale of this discharge and how it affects coastal waters surrounding the United States.  [Image: Hilary Erenler/Music: Jeffrey Cook]

Before you can know what coastline is lost to hurricanes and sea level rise, you need to know what land is there. Researchers have finished the most complete mapping of the NC coast including oceanside, bayside, and all of the estuaries. Now they can track what happens next.

Tidal creeks are the link from stormwater runoff to the estuaries and the ocean. Researchers are studying the dynamics of tidal creeks and what lives in them so communities can better protect this unique, fragile and vital habitat for coastal life.

The use of ocean colour remote sensing data has increased dramatically over the last ten years, particularly for coastal waters where impacts between the marine environment and human activities may be particularly intense. Many of these coastal waters will be turbid because of high concentrations of suspended particulate matter caused by a variety of processes including high biomass algal blooms, sediment resuspension by wind/tide, river plumes, etc. Within these lectures on “Ocean Colour Remote Sensing in turbid coastal waters” the specific challenges and opportunities presented by turbid waters will be presented, where “turbid” is understood here to indicate waters with high particulate scattering. There are two major additional difficulties for ocean colour remote sensing in turbid coastal waters. Firstly, atmospheric correction is more difficult in turbid waters because it is not possible to assume zero near infrared marine reflectance (“black pixel assumption”), thus complicating the decomposition of top of atmosphere measurements into atmospheric and marine reflectances. Secondly, the optical properties of non‐algae particles, such as mineral particles from bottom resuspension or from river discharges, need to be considered in addition to algal particles. If the absorption and scattering of nonalgae particles is significant compared to that of algal particles it may become difficult or even impossible to distinguish the optical properties of the algal particles. In such conditions the estimation of chlorophyll a may become severely degraded or suffer from a detection limit problem. In turbid waters both the atmospheric correction and the chlorophyll retrieval problems are highly dependent on the technical specification of the remote sensors being used, and in particular on the spectral band set. These two key issues will be explained in detail, via lectures and via simple computer‐based exercises. The algorithmic approaches that can be used to deal with these problems will be outlined, based on the current state of the art and with reference to the capabilities of past, current and future ocean colour sensors such as SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS, GOCI and OLCI. In addition to aspects of chlorophyll retrieval in turbid coastal waters, other relevant parameters will be discussed, including diffuse attenuation coefficient, euphotic depth, suspended particulate matter, etc. The links with applications in marine science and coastal zone management will be described. Requirements for the lectures A basic knowledge of the definitions of optical properties (scattering, absorption, attenuation) from other lectures from this IOCCG summer school, particularly those of Mark Dowell, Zhongping Lee and Curtis Mobley. An ability to use basic functions of Excel.

Earlier this month, a new interagency report was delivered to Congress that warns of the growing threat of low oxygen "dead zones" in coastal waters around the U.S. This condition is known as hypoxia -- where oxygen levels drop so low that creatures in the water are stressed or killed. In this episode, we hear from two of the scientists behind the report: Dr. Libby Jewett from NOAA and Herb Buxton from the US Geological Survey. They help us learn more about the extent of this problem, its causes, and how this trend might be reversed.
