This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.

To our knowledge, there are no published studies on the fish communities of the nearshore aquatic zone of Lake Superior proper. The diversity and complexity of nearshore aquatic habitats are likely to support a higher diversity of fishes than are found in the offshore zone of the lake (Hoff and Bronte 1999). The most comprehensive account to date of fishes of the nearshore zone of Lake Superior is included in a monograph on the fishes of Isle Royale by Hubbs and Lagler (1949). Although this monograph concentrates on inland waters of Isle Royale, it provides a compilation of fish records for the nearshore zone during 1904-1945. As such, the work of Hubbs and Lagler (1949) establishes a baseline for all future inventories of nearshore fish communities of Lake Superior.

The National Capital Region Network (NCRN) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program has identified amphibians as a priority taxonomic group for its monitoring program. The goals of this program are to document at least 90% of the amphibian species in its parks, and to determine whether the integrity and status of amphibian populations are changing over time. As of 2004, all NCRN parks had completed amphibian inventories (Shawn Carter, National Park Service, personal communication), and planning for monitoring efforts were initiated. The objectives of the monitoring program are to implement a long-term sampling design, in cooperation with park service biologists and managers, to: (1) describe the annual distribution of amphibians (i.e. estimate initial occupancy probabilities for targeted species) and explore factors that may influence occupancy probabilities or distributional patterns, (2) determine if amphibian distributions are changing annually, and if so, explore whether occupancy changes are related to habitat quality, paying special attention to factors associated with increased urbanization in the region, and (3) provide information to aid in generating and testing hypotheses that differentiate among possible causes of long-term changes in the proportion of area occupied among species, habitats, and park areas.

This report, A Field Manual for the Use of Antimycin A for Restoration of Native Fish Populations, provides protocols for the use of antimycin A which have been successfully used in restoration efforts within units of the national park system and in national forest and state projects. This document is based upon experiences of biologists from the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. The authors' hope that the information included in the manual will be applicable to any application of antimycin for the restoration of native fish populations and that it provides fisheries managers with established protocols for safe, effective, and lawful restoration projects utilizing antimycin A.

In May 2005, Coastal and Fisheries staff from Olympic National Park conducted a 3-day inventory of intertidal fishes adjacent to the shoreline of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve. Beach seine sampling was employed in all intertidal habitats on both the Admiralty Inlet and Penn Cove shorelines. A total of 31 locations were sampled, resulting in documentation of 28 species. The habitats in both of these regions include sand, gravel, cobble, and boulder beaches. Fish community composition in both regions was dominated by juvenile salmon, particularly chum salmon smolts, however the communities in each region were significantly different from each other. These differences likely reflect the physical habitat differences between the open coastline of Admiralty Inlet and the protected Penn Cove.

This is the first taxonomic guide of deep sea organisms for the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. From April 21 to 27, 2011, the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer started their field season with a shakedown cruise primarily to field test equipment. The cruise also provided an opportunity to conduct multibeam mapping and a series of exploratory dives using the Little Hercules Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The ROV explored areas that had not been surveyed previously. Video of these opportunistic dives was analyzed for habitat types, species, and species associations. The species observations from the dives are recorded in this taxonomic guide to provide baseline characterization for this underexplored habitat in the sanctuary. This guide will be amended as more studies are added or completed.

The work provides an updated crayfish species lists for ten National Park Service (NPS) properties in Pennsylvania after conducting comprehensive crayfish surveys of selected streams within the parks.

The inspiration for "Lessons From The Ocean" came as a result of many walks on the beach at sunset. It was during these "quiet times" with God that much was revealed to Donalyn about the similarities that exist between the ocean and beach, and what happens in everyday life. After a dear friend encouraged her to write these down, Donalyn realized that this could be something that would uplift, encourage and inspire others. Her wish is that you would enjoy reading it and contemplating it as much as she did actually accruing this over several years. Donalyn Knight is the Founder and President of The Spirited Athlete, Inc. She taught for 38 years at Seminole High School in Sanford, Fl and has over 16 years of extensive athletic coaching experience. While at Seminole High School, she has been awarded over 12 Coach of the Year Awards, Teacher of the Year for Seminole High School and Seminole County and was inducted into the SHS Coaches' Hall of Fame there, being presented with The Doc Terwilleger Award. This past year the school named the Outstanding Female Athlete Award after Donalyn. She has worked with Olympic and Professional athletes and served as Fellowship of Christian Athletes Liaison to the WNBA Orlando Miracle. She also worked for USAirways in the evenings for 20 years. Her love of flying, working with people and helping them with their travel needs was something she really enjoyed. Now retired from teaching and the airline, Donalyn is growing The Spirited Athlete which is in it's 8th year. The company has a motivational and inspirational product line as well as presenting college-bound athlete seminars, coaches' seminars, etc. It is obvious by her endeavors that she has a real zest for life and that is directly related to her relationship with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. "To serve Him above all through whatever it is that I'm doing is the highest privilege of all To God Be the Glory "

This report is concerned only with fishing and hunting trends. The National survey disaggregates hunting into four types: big game, small game, migratory bird, and other animals. Similarly, fishing is categorized as Great Lakes, other freshwater, and saltwater. This report takes the disaggregation further and presents the trend in selected species of game and fish. This will enable us to narrow the focus as we look at the past and future of our hunting and fishing traditions.
