Parlamentos indígenas realizados en Pampa y Patagonia entre 1869 y 1870 : Análisis socio-político y propuestas para una interpretación de caso

El presente trabajo se propone abordar una serie de parlamentos indígenas (considerados ámbitos de consenso) realizados en los espacios de Pampa y Patagonia a finales del siglo XIX. El objetivo del artículo es realizar un análisis socio-político sobre estos ámbitos de consenso para identificar cuáles son los actores que participan en ella, tratando de interpretar algunas características que hacen a la dinámica política y a las estrategias políticas que llevan adelante algunos grupos étnicos con sus respectivos líderes. Por otra parte, y desde un punto de vista metodológico, el trabajo se focaliza en realizar un análisis comparativo sobre los parlamentos indígenas que se llevan adelante, sincrónicamente, en un espacio y en otro para de esta forma evitar generalizaciones sobre el objeto de estudio

Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project: Water Quality and Aquatic Wildlife Monitoring, 2005-6

In summer and fall 2004, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) initiated the Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project. The project involved excavation of a dry remnant Arm of the lagoon and adjacent disused farmland to form a significant new lagoon volume. The intention was to provide habitat, in particular, for two Federally threatened species: the California Red-Legged Frog, and the Steelhead Trout (South Central-Coastal California Evolutionary Significant Unit). DPR contracted with the Foundation of California State University Monterey Bay (Central Coast Watershed Studies Team, Watershed Institute) to monitor water quality and aquatic invertebrates in association with the enhancement, and to attempt to monitor steelhead using novel video techniques. The monitoring objective was to assess whether the enhancement was successful in providing habitat with good water quality, adequate invertebrate food for steelhead, and ultimately the presence of steelhead.

Southeast White Oak River shellfish restoration project

The 42-mile-long White Oak River is one of the last relatively unblemished watery jewels of the N.C. coast. The predominantly black water river meanders through Jones, Carteret and Onslow counties along the central N.C. coast, gradually widening as it flows past Swansboro and into the Atlantic Ocean. It drains almost 12,000 acres of estuaries -- saltwater marshes lined with cordgrass, narrow and impenetrable hardwood swamps and rare stands of red cedar that are flooded with wind tides. The lower portion of the river was so renowned for fat oysters and clams that in times past competing watermen came to blows over its bounty at places that now bear names like Battleground Rock. The lower river is also a designated primary nursery area for such commercially important species as shrimp, spot, Atlantic croaker, blue crabs, weakfish and southern flounder. But the river has been discovered. The permanent population along the lower White Oak increased by almost a third since 1990, and the amount of developed land increased 82 percent during the same period. With the growth have come bacteria. Since the late 1990s, much of the lower White Oak has been added to North Carolina’s list of impaired waters because of bacterial pollution. Forty-two percent of the rivers’ oyster and clam beds are permanently closed to shellfishing because of high bacteria levels. Fully two-thirds of the river’s shellfish beds are now permanently off limits or close temporarily after a moderate rain. State monitoring indicates that increased runoff from urbanization is the probable cause of the bacterial pollution. (PDF contains 4 pages)

Fish assemblages found in tidal-creek and seagrass habitats in the Suwannee River estuary

Fish assemblages were investigated in tidal-creek and seagrass habitats in the Suwannee River estuary, Florida. A total of 91,571 fish representing 43 families were collected in monthly seine samples from January 1997 to December 1999. Tidal creeks supported greater densities of fish (3.89 fish/m2; 83% of total) than did seagrass habitats (0.93 fish/m2). We identified three distinct fish assemblages in each habitat: winter−spring, summer, and fall. Pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides), pigfish (Orthopristis chrysoptera), and syngnathids characterized seagrass assemblages, whereas spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli), silversides (Menidia spp.), mojarras (Eucinostomus spp.), and fundulids characterized tidal-creek habitats. Important recreational and commercial species such as striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) were found primarily in tidal creeks and were among the top 13 taxa in the fish assemblages found in the tidal-creek habitats. Tidal-creek and seagrass habitats in the Suwannee River estuary were found to support diverse fish assemblages. Seasonal patterns in occurrence, which were found to be associated with recruitment of early-life-history stages, were observed for many of the fish species.

O movimento emancipacionista na perspectiva das elites políticas na Província do Espírito Santo, 1869-1888

Ao longo do Dezenove presenciou-se debates acerca da questão servil no Brasil. Essa querela também teve seus reflexos na Província do Espírito Santo, tendo esta, como objeto de investigação. No fim dos anos de 1860, o movimento emancipacionista começava a ser delineado pelas elites política e intelectual a nível nacional e local. No ano de 1867, a Fala do Trono trouxe à tona questões significativas a respeito do problema servil e os possíveis caminhos a serem seguidos a favor da libertação dos escravos. As décadas de 1870 e 1880 foram períodos de intenso debate acerca da campanha emancipacionista e abolicionista brasileira. Especialmente na década de 1870 com a promulgação da Lei do Ventre Livre em 1871 teve-se um número significativo de ações de arbitramento de escravos na Província do Espírito Santo, especialmente na cidade da Vitória e em suas freguesias. O intento deste trabalho é identificar como ocorreu o desenrolar do processo emancipacionista na Província do Espírito Santo, a partir do entendimento da cultura política daquela sociedade, tendo como fonte de estudo os debates proferidos no espaço da Assembleia legislativa provincial, concomitante às ações de liberdade de escravos e dois importantes periódicos: O Jornal da Victoria e A Província do Espírito Santo, pois, seus redatores e proprietários permeavam os espaços políticos e intelectuais da cidade de Vitória Oitocentista. Têm-se como marcos temporal os anos de 1869 a 1888, pois, aquele ano foi promulgada a primeira lei provincial de caráter emancipador e o último marco refere-se a extinção plena e total de uma das instituições mais duradouras na História do Brasil.

Multidirectional movements of sportfish species between an estuarine no-take zone and surrounding waters of the Indian River Lagoon, Florida

We examined movement patterns of sportfish that were tagged in the northern Indian River Lagoon, Florida, between 1990 and 1999 to assess the degree of fish exchange between an estuarine no-take zone (NTZ) and surrounding waters. The tagged f ish were from seven species: red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus); black drum (Pogonias cromis); sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus); common snook (Centropomus undecimalis); spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus); bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas); and crevalle jack (Caranx hippos). A total of 403 tagged fish were recaptured during the study period, including 65 individuals that emigrated from the NTZ and 16 individuals that immigrated into the NTZ from surrounding waters of the lagoon. Migration distances between the original tagging location and the sites where emigrating fish were recaptured were from 0 to 150 km, and these migration distances appeared to be influenced by the proximity of the NTZ to spawning areas or other habitats that are important to specific life-history stages of individual species. Fish that immigrated into the NTZ moved distances ranging from approximately 10 to 75 km. Recapture rates for sportfish species that migrated across the NTZ boundary suggested that more individuals may move into the protected habitats than move out. These data demonstrated that although this estuarine no-take reserve can protect species from fishing, it may also serve to extract exploitable individuals from surrounding fisheries; therefore, if the no-take reserve does function to replenish surrounding fisheries, then increased egg production and larval export may be more important mechanisms of replenishment than the spillover of excess adults from the reserve into fishable areas.
