Book excerpt: "In 1985, the Indian River Lagoon, which includes the Indian River, Banana River and Mosquito Lagoon, was in jeopardy of environmental collapse and was designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as an Estuary of National Significance." "More than ten years later, efforts have been successful in reducing some threats to the estuary, but uncertainty about its prolonged viability and healthy existence still remains." In this book, the author and the artist "have attempted to replicate the beauty of the Indian River Lagoon and document its fragile state so that future generations may appreciate it even more." -- Introduction.
Book Synopsis Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon (Florida) from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge by : Luc Desjarlais
Download or read book Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon (Florida) from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge written by Luc Desjarlais and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon (Florida) from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge Situated mid-way along the East Coast of Florida, Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River Lagoon system in general are renowned fishing destinations and are featured in books, articles, videos, and TV shows. Quality guiding services are widely available. And fly-fishing is gaining in popularity. Why another guide book? Firstly, not much literature exists on foot access to the lagoons, and this is one gap that this book is filling. Secondly, hunting the fish of the lagoons while wading is a different experience than fishing from a boat. It must be learned and this book will do this. Finally, in keeping with the ways of each book of the series, this guide book focuses on very precise fishing spots. Contrary to most others this guide book shows the precise location of these fishing spots on large-scale, detailed maps. Parking Lot 5 of the North District of Canaveral National Seashore should be the starting point of your exploration of the lagoons, on foot. The area accessible on foot from Parking Lot 5 is described in minute details. This book also covers all the wading areas of Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon accessible from Park and Refuge land. You will pursue mostly Red Drum, but also Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, and other game fish, over miles of shallow flats. Precise directions will take you to areas of the lagoons that hold fish and to specific spots where those fish tend to gather. This guiding book also tells you what you need and how to catch those big fish with a fly rod. If you are an experienced salt fly-fisher you will skip years of exploration time. If you are an experienced fly-fisher who is new to saltwater and flats fishing you will shorten your learning curve immensely. If you have been sitting on the sidelines of wade fly-fishing this book will hopefully be the spark that will ignite a passion. Go ahead, let our lagoons work their magic. Full-size, full-color paperback, 206 pages, with index. This book is available in Kindle eBook with full functionality at a popular price. The purchase of this book in print gives you the opportunity to buy the Kindle eBook for $2.99 and carry it with you in your phone or tablet to the precise fishing spots shown in the large-scale detailed maps of the book. "Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon (Florida) from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge" is the second of a series of four similar guide books covering in detail a precise geographic area and focusing on wade fly fishing. The first was published in December 2014. It covers the upper St. Johns River basin in East Central Florida for American Shad. It is available on Amazon in both print and eBook formats. The last two books are in preparation and cover the streams of Northern Vermont and the streams of the Eastern Townships of Quebec, sector Green Mountains of the Appalachians and Mounteregians. This last book will be published in French and English."

Book excerpt: The first edition of The Living Ocean, published in 1991 by Island Press in association with Friends of the Earth, was widely praised by scientists, policymakers, instructors, and general readers as a useful and accessible introduction to the science and policy of biological diversity in marine environments. Since that time, much new research has been conducted and numerous national and international policy initiatives have been undertaken.With 1998 designated by the United Nations as the International Year of the Ocean, this new, revised and expanded, edition is a welcome and much-needed addition to the literature.This edition brings the volume up-to-date, and re-establishes it as an essential primer for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of marine biodiversity and how it can be protected. It provides an overview of basic concepts and principles and a review of relevant policy issues and existing instruments. The author:defines biological diversity and discusses the importance of threats to marine biodiversity reviews the current status of scientific knowledge describes the major coastal and oceanic ecosystem types and addresses the major threats in each presents a general discussion of the ways in which government and the public can protect marine biological diversity provides specific examples of national and international policies, legal instruments, programs, and institutions addresses how social, economic, political, and ethical considerations affect decisions to conserve marine biological diversity considers the involvement of citizens in developing ocean policy The book also includes a useful glossary that provides information about basic biological concepts, and a comprehensive bibliography.

Book Synopsis Clean Coastal Waters by : National Research Council
Download or read book Clean Coastal Waters written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems in coastal ecosystems can sometimes be attributed to excess nutrients flowing from upstream watersheds into estuarine settings. This nutrient over-enrichment can result in toxic algal blooms, shellfish poisoning, coral reef destruction, and other harmful outcomes. All U.S. coasts show signs of nutrient over-enrichment, and scientists predict worsening problems in the years ahead. Clean Coastal Waters explains technical aspects of nutrient over-enrichment and proposes both immediate local action by coastal managers and a longer-term national strategy incorporating policy design, classification of affected sites, law and regulation, coordination, and communication. Highlighting the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone," the Pfiesteria outbreak in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and other cases, the book explains how nutrients work in the environment, why nitrogen is important, how enrichment turns into over-enrichment, and why some environments are especially susceptible. Economic as well as ecological impacts are examined. In addressing abatement strategies, the committee discusses the importance of monitoring sites, developing useful models of over-enrichment, and setting water quality goals. The book also reviews voluntary programs, mandatory controls, tax incentives, and other policy options for reducing the flow of nutrients from agricultural operations and other sources.

Download or read book Paving Paradise written by Craig Pittman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is happening to Florida's "protected" wetlands? "This is an exhaustive, timely, and devastating account of the destruction of Florida's wetlands, and the disgraceful collusion of government at all levels. It's an important book that should be read by every voter, every taxpayer, every parent, every Floridian who cares about saving what's left of this precious place."--Carl Hiaasen "Pittman and Waite pulled the lid off federal and state wetlands regulation in Florida and peered deep into the cauldron of 'mitigation,' 'no net loss,' 'banking,' and the rest of the regulatory stew. For anyone interested in wetlands generally, and in Florida environmental issues in particular, this is an eye-opening, must-read book."--J. B. Ruhl Since 1990, every president has pledged to protect wetlands, and Florida possesses more than any state except Alaska. And yet, since that time Florida has lost more than 84,000 acres of wetlands that help replenish the water supply and protect against flooding. How and why the state's wetlands are continuing to disappear is the subject of Paving Paradise. Journalists Craig Pittman and Matthew Waite spent nearly four years investigating the political expedience, corruption, and negligence on the part of federal and state agencies that led to a failure to enforce regulations on developers. They traveled throughout the state, interviewed hundreds of people, dug through thousands of documents, and analyzed satellite imagery to identify former wetlands that were now houses, stores, and parking lots. The result was an award-winning series, "Vanishing Wetlands," of more than twenty stories in the St. Petersburg Times, exposing the unseen environmental consequences of rampant sprawl. Expanding their work into book form in the tradition of Michael Grunwald's The Swamp, Pittman and Waite explain how wetland protection has become a taxpayer-funded program that creates the illusion of environmental protection while doing little to stem the tide of destruction.
Book Synopsis Indian River Lagoon by : Osborn, Nathaniel
Download or read book Indian River Lagoon written by Osborn, Nathaniel and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida Historical Society Stetson Kennedy Book Award Stretching along 156 miles of Florida's East Coast, the Indian River Lagoon contains the St. Lucie estuary, the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River Lagoon, and the Indian River. It is a delicate ecosystem of shifting barrier islands and varying salinity levels due to its many inlets that open and close onto the ocean. The long, ribbon-like lagoon spans both temperate and subtropical climates, resulting in the most biologically diverse estuarine system in the United States. Nineteen canals and five man-made inlets have dramatically reshaped the region in the past two centuries, intensifying its natural instability and challenging its diversity. Indian River Lagoon traces the winding story of the waterway, showing how humans have altered the area to fit their needs and also how the lagoon has influenced the cultures along its shores. Now stuck in transition between a place of labor and a place of recreation, the lagoon has become a chief focus of public concern. This book provides a much-needed bigger picture as debates continue over how best to restore this natural resource.
