Carmel Lagoon Water Quality and Steelhead Soundings: Fall 2007

ESSP 660 Advanced Watershed Science and Policy is a graduate class taught in the Master of Science in Coastal and Watershed Science & Policy program at California State University Monterey Bay. In 2007, the class was taught in four 4-week modules, each focusing on making a small contribution to a local watershed issue. This report describes the results of one of those 4-week modules – on Carmel Lagoon Water Quality and Ecology. The module was lead instructed by Fred Watson (CSUMB) and Kevan Urquhart (MPWMD).

Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project: Water Quality and Aquatic Wildlife Monitoring, 2006-7

This is a report to the California Department of Parks and Recreation. It describes water quality and aquatic invertebrate monitoring after the construction of the Carmel River Lagoon Enhancement Project. Included are data that have been collected for two years and preliminary assessment of the enhanced ecosystem. This report marks the completion of 3-years of monitoring water quality and aquatic habitat. The report adopts the same format and certain background text from previous years’ reporting by the same research group (e.g. Larson et al., 2005). (Document contains 100 pages)

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.

Wetland Habitat Types of the Carmel River Lagoon.

This is a report delivered to California Department of Parks and Recreation. The purpose of this report is to document and describe the presence, location, and general characteristics for each of the wetland types currently found in the lagoon area. Comments are also made on the general use by different fauna. (Document contains 15 pages)

Food habits as an ecological partitioning mechanism in the nearshore rockfishes (Sebastes) of Carmel Bay, California

In the kelp forests of Carmel Bay there are six common rockfishes (Sebastes). Three are pelagic (S. serranoides, S. mystinus, and S. melanops) and two are demersal (S. chrysomelas and S. carnatus). The sixth (S. atrovirens) is generally found a few meters above the sea floor. The pelagic rockfishes which are spatially overlapping have different feeding habits. All rockfishes except S. mystinus utilize juvenile rockfishes as their primary food source during the upwelling season. Throughout the non-upwelling season, most species consume invertebrate prey. The pelagic rockfishes have shorter maxillary bones and longer gill rakers than their demersal congeners, both specializations for taking smaller prey. They also have longer intestines, enabling them to utilize less digestable foods. S. mystinus, which has the longest intestine, may be able to use algae as a food source. Fat reserves are accumulated from July through October, when prey is most abundant. Fat is depleted throughout the rest of the year as food becomes scarce and development of sexual organs takes place. Gonad development occurs from November through February for all species except S. atrovirens.

Les escoles públiques del Carmel i Can Baró : problemàtica, recursos i alternatives de futur. 'Las escuelas públicas del Carmelo y Can Baro : problemática, recursos y alternativas de futuro'.

Analizar las dificultades que presenta la población escolar de los barrios Can Baró y Carmelo de Barcelona, socioeconómicamente desfavorecidos, a nivel de realidad social, integración, aprendizaje y relación familiar y social. Comprobar los recursos existentes y los necesarios, de cara a mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza. Cinco escuelas de los barrios de Barcelona Carmelo y Can Baró, con una población global de unos 2900 alumnos, entre Preescolar y octavo curso de EGB. Exponen la realidad social de los dos barrios: aspectos demográficos, recursos escolares, recursos infancia-juventud y problemática general. Realizan un planteamiento global de las escuelas y del equipo de servicios sociales. Analizan la problemática que presenta la población escolar a partir de la confección de unos modelos de plantilla para la obtención de datos, respecto a los niveles de gravedad de la problemática de los alumnos y el tipo de problemática en relación a estos niveles. Recogen los datos en dos fases y realizan un análisis descriptivo. Elaboran una relación de los recursos que se utilizan para atender las necesidades y otra relación de los que serían necesarios y no se dispone. Utilizan básicamente plantillas de registro ad hoc y estadísticas oficiales. Estadísticos descriptivos: porcentajes, diagramas de barras, etc. Necesidad a nivel de organización general interna de servicios tales como: comedores, talleres, atención individualizada y, a nivel de barrio, de equipos profesionales que actúen conjuntamente de cara a identificar las necesidades de la población para poder planificar la prioridad de las actuaciones y aportar la información necesaria a las instituciones.
