Abstract This article examines an overlooked attempt to colonize the island of Trinidad during the English Revolution of the 1640s. This project was engineered by a consortium of radical puritans, seeking to create a protected enclave in the New World for separatists, anabaptists and other sectaries.

Understanding shallow water biogeochemical dynamics is a challenge in coastal regions, due to the presence of highly variable land-water interface fluxes, tight coupling with sediment processes, tidal dynamics, and diurnal variability in biogeochemical ...

ABSTRACT Individual growth models are important in fisheries of natural populations and can be incorporated in production models to estimate their maximum sustainable yield. Blue crab species, Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae were obtained in the Mecoacán lagoon, Paraíso, Tabasco Mexico by “nasa” and “yahual” nets. Biometric values such as

A Novel Approach for Characterization of Microplastic Pollution in the Chesapeake Bay
Microplastic pollution in the Chesapeake Bay is of critical concern as estuaries serve as habitats and nurseries for diverse aquatic organisms and offer vital ecological services.

ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

The importance of decadal-scale climate variability to wind-driven modulation of hypoxia in Chesapeake Bay [PDF]
Millions of dollars are spent annually to reduce nutrient loading to Chesapeake Bay, with a fundamental goal of reducing the extent and severity of low dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) during the summertime months^1^.

Abstract Employing a citizen science model of partnerships with recreational and commercial fishers, we collected 5298 fin‐clip samples of striped bass Morone saxatilis over a 2‐year period and a broad geographic area that encompassed a majority of the species migratory range.

A survey of the marine nematodes of Chesapeake Bay, Maryland [PDF]
The study here reported is a survey of the most common non-parasitic nematode families of Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, with descriptions and figures, so that ecological workers and students of invertebrate zoology may be encouraged not to pass over this ...

A Microkrystite from the Australasian Tektite/Microtektite Strewn Field
Abstract Microkrystites are glassy impact spherules. They contain primary crystallites carrying information on the physical and chemical conditions prevailing during vaporization, melting, and ejection in large impact cratering events. We report on the geochemistry and mineralogy down to nanometer scale of the first microkrystite (ODP1144A,14) from the
