Bristol Bay Case Study

The efforts in restoring the Chesapeake Bay also has importance on economic value. The Chesapeake bay is a commercial and recreational resource for more than 15 million people who live in and near its watershed (drainage basin).” (Atkins & Anderson, 2003). According to the Chesapeake Bay foundation, also known as the CBF; in 2004, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science conducted an study estimated that the Chesapeake Bay contributed $1.23 billion in sales, $717 million in income, and nearly more than 13,000 jobs in Virginia from recreational and commercial fishing

It is their home, their thriving place. According to the National WIldlife Federation, ¨The Bay supports 3,600 species of plant and animal life, including more than 300 fish species and 2,700 plant types.”. Not only does the wildlife depend on the bay, but humans do as well. The Chesapeake Bay contains a 64,000-square-mile watershed, this watershed provides large amounts of drinking water for us in Maryland, along with several other states. Everyday, the condition of the water declines, meaning the home for wildlife and our drinking water does too. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation pointed out that, ¨Toxic chemicals are constantly entering the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams via wastewater, agriculture, stormwater, and air pollution. These harmful chemicals, such as mercury, PCBs, and PAHs, do not break down easily and persist in the environment for many years, impacting not just fish and birds, but humans as well.¨. How important does the restoration of the bay sound

The immigrants that settled the colonies of Chesapeake Bay and New England came to the New World for two different reasons. These differences were noticeable in social structure, economic outlook, and religious background. As the colonies were organized the differences were becoming more and more obvious and affected the way the communities prospered. These differences are evident from both written documents from the colonists and the historical knowledge of this particular period in time.

Coastal Management in Hastings is effective economically, socially, environmentally and is sustainable for the future.

Guy Mills provided the board with a summary of selected site and segment data (see Appendix 1), and reported that the decreased profits in 2009 were caused by the Site 3 problems, the decrease in market value, the strengthening Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, and the increased feed costs. He also indicated that he expected the four sites to yield an average of 3.8 million kilograms (950,000 kilograms per site) of harvested fish per year, assuming that no further unusual losses were incurred. Given the current market conditions and the risk of having to decrease prices or lose export sales to the U.S., the board decided that the company should move into other markets and diversify into shellfish farming. No dividends would be paid for the next year or two to free up some cash to invest in new projects. The board directed Mills to investigate establishing shellfish aquaculture sites and develop a business strategy for increasing the profitability of the current salmon operations. They indicated that any proposed investment should generate a minimum after-tax return of 10% within five years. Shellfish Aquaculture Opportunity Mills explored opportunities for diversifying into shellfish aquaculture. He found two potential opportunities (a mussel farm and an oyster farm) and wondered which one should be pursued or whether both should be pursued. A summary of the costs and yields for establishing these farms is provided in

The first reason is the pollution. Any major mining excavation creates a huge amount of waste. This waste is toxic to the environment, and the method for containing it is not 100% guaranteed. They store this waste in large man made holes called tailing dams. There have been many reports of these storage structures breaking and spilling the waste all over the land. This waste would pollute the land and make it uninhabitable. The most affected would be the salmon. Salmon fishing is huge part of the Alaskan life and if the salmon were affected by the mining, a lot of people would lose their jobs.

Sample Essays 1993 DBQ: Chesapeake/New England During the 17 th century, differing social, economic, and geographi c factors shaped the Chesapeake region and New England. in different Throughout the century, New England maintained a strong, communal identity while the Chesapeake remained widely scatt ered. Through the hot river valleys of the Chesape ake had a climate that facilitated staple crop plantations and disease, New England’s extreme climate made mas s production of staple crops and the spread of diseas e difficult.

Although, according to my research “Northeastern Canada has, per unit of surface area, more flowing water than almost anywhere else on the globe.” Due to the numerous rivers that flow into the James Bay and Hudson Bay, this can potentially increase economic growth. Since 1963, the plans of this project were started. The mission was to reconstruct the natural waterways into the dams and reservoirs to produce electric power for Canada and New England.

In this research paper I will talk about how a large decrease in the algae population in the Chesapeake Bay will cause problems for not just fish and other species but the people who fish and make a living off of it. A large decrease in algae population will have a domino effect on the food chain. Having a major decrease in algae will hurt how others species live and protect themselves.

On August 16, 1780, two armies would come to meet in an open field north of Camden. Camden, a small town in South Carolina, was in an enticing position for both American and British forces. The American forces, led by Major General Horatio Gates, sought to capture Camden to prove to American colonialists that the South was not lost to British occupation. The British forces, led by Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, aimed to maintain control of Camden due to it being essential for the success of Britain’s “southern strategy”. The two generals knew that Camden was crucial for their strategies and that there was no room for error. Although both generals were formidable it was Cornwallis’ well timed and decisive judgements that proved his superiority

Scientists have studied the impact of water borne pathogens over time. Just how dependent human life is on the waterways is one such question which arises. The study involves the effect of such pathogens on human life. This study was narrowed down to the area of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. The Chesapeake Bay each weekend is occupied for recreational use. Such activities as swimming, fishing, and body surfing are common place. Normally each year thousands of pounds of seafood are distributed from out of the bay. There is a vast amount of people who come to visit the area each year.

Overall the best solution from the three is to plant more trees around Chesapeake Bay so it will clean the air. A positive environmental consequence is that the more trees that they plant will make the air cleaner. When the air is cleaner it will decrease the chance of acid rain, and acid rain will make the water worse for the animals. If the animals stay alive then more of the wildlife will come back and that will revive the ecosystem around the bay. A negative environmental would be that the trees will take a long time to grow. It takes 3-4 years for a normal tree to grow, that is way to long to wait for the pollution problem to be

Waterways are a crucial part of transportation, food and income for many people. The Chesapeake Bay provides hundreds of people with jobs, habitats for a wide variety of animals and transportation for goods. Since John Smith sailed to America and upon entering the Bay said “Within is a country that may have the prerogative over the most pleasant places known, for large and pleasant navigable rivers, heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's habitation” (John Smith) the Bay has been an integral part of life in the United States. Recently overfishing, invasive species and runoff have led to the declining health of the Bay. Sustainable solutions should and are being implemented to ensure the long lasting health of the Chesapeake

As a Canadian the Gahcho Kue mine will not benefit Canada environmentally, and economically. However it will benefit Canada socially, but not a whole lot. Environmentally, the mine will create air pollution/water contamination. Also the lakes are being drained which is affecting vegetation. Also harmful chemicals are being leaked into the water. Economically, jobs last only as long as a mine would(which is around 15-20yrs). Also when the value of the mine decreases the miners will leave the town, which will cause job loss and the town will get abandoned which will lead to a ghost town. Socially, it will create many jobs (esp for aboriginals) which will have a 54% increase of employment. However Da Beers Diavik mine “no fault treatment” only
