A GIS analysis of coastal development and trends in bottlenose dolphin strandings in Charleston, SC: implications for coastal marine spatial planning
No full textBottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) inhabit estuarine waters near Charleston, South Carolina (SC) feeding, nursing and socializing. While in these waters, dolphins are exposed to multiple direct and indirect threats such as anthropogenic impacts (egs. harassment with boat traffic and entanglements in fishing gear) and environmental degradation. Bottlenose dolphins are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.Over the years, the percentage of strandings in the estuaries has increased in South Carolina and, specifically, recent stranding data shows an increase in strandings occurring in Charleston, SC near areas of residential development. During the same timeframe, Charleston experienced a shift in human population towards the coastline. These two trends, rise in estuarine dolphin strandings and shift in human population, have raised questions on whether the increase in strandings is a result of more detectable strandings being reported, or a true increase in stranding events. Using GIS, the trends in strandings were compared to residential growth, boat permits, fishing permits, and dock permits in Charleston County from 1994-2009. A simple linear regression analysis was performed to determine if there were any significant relationships between strandings, boat permits, commercial fishing permits, and crabpot permits.The results of this analysis show the stranding trend moves toward Charleston Harbor and adjacent rivers over time which suggests the increase in strandings is related to the strandings becoming more detectable. The statistical analysis shows that the factors that cause human interaction strandings such as boats, commercial fishing, and crabpot line entanglements are not significantly related to strandings further supporting the hypothesis that the increase in strandings are due to increased observations on the water as human coastal population increases and are not a natural phenomenon. This study has local and potentially regional marine spatial planning implications to protect coastal natural resources, such as the bottlenose dolphin, while balancing coastal development

The Best Countertop Installation in Charleston SC
No full textWhen it comes to countertop installation and countertop resurfacing, Charleston is known for providing the best countertop surface to install durable countertops. In fact, since Charleston is considered one of the most southern cities in America, most of their countertop surfaces are found along the river and in floodplains areas. In Charleston, most of the countertop surfaces are not flat and are not polished or very smooth. This allows water to seep underneath the countertop surface and causes a variety of problems that can greatly affect the durability of the countertop.
Therefore, when looking for the best countertop installation in charleston SC and countertop resurfacing in Charleston, South Carolina, you need to consider some factors before you choose a professional to install your countertop. First, you need to determine the size of the countertop and how much countertop area you need. If you have a large slab of the countertop, then you will have to hire a professional to place the countertop over the top of the slab. However, if you are looking for a smaller countertop or one that you can install yourself, then you may consider doing the countertop resurfacing on your own.
The next step to take when choosing the best countertop installation and countertop resurfacing in Charleston, South Carolina is to measure the countertop area that you need. Most professional countertop installers in Charleston measure the countertop before they do anything else. You also want to make sure that you include the top edge of the countertop when you are measuring. Measure from the countertop edge to the wall and then measure across the top of the countertop to the bottom of the wall.

Charleston, SC Branch Pilots Association and NOAA PORTS
Full text linkThe Charleston, SC Branch Pilots Association (end user 1) make “go-no-go” decisions based on data from the National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON), Official NOAA Tide Predictions and Physical Oceanographic Real Time System (PORTS) sensors for tall, deep draft vessels transiting through Charleston Harbor and into the associated tributaries. Data from these sources allows more precise calculations of clearances of at the Don Holt Bridge at North Charleston, SC. The NWLON and PORTS are sponsored by CO-OPS which is the source for accurate, reliable, and timely tides, water levels, currents, and other oceanographic data. The vision of CO-OPS is to support the Nation\u27s economy and safeguard coastal communities with oceanographic information accessible by anyone, at any time, from any place
CLOUDBURST PLAZA Redistributing Storm Water in Charleston, SC
Full text linkThis thesis researches the potential of an open systems approach to the design of urban public space. Open systems are created and informed by the matter- energy that continually flows through them. Open systems do not just recover well from disturbance (hurricane, pollution, commercial development)but actually integrate it and evolve to more complex levels of operations. The thesis investigated a series of complex conditions in Charleston, SC by design an open system of landscape structures and process through creating a cloudburst plaza by the open system in the downtown Charleston. These new landscapes are then tested against a range of possible disturbances (flooding, terrain features and inappropriate urban development) to ascertain whether they will mitigate the degree of Charleston city flooding problems. Design application is an example based on the research conclusion. AACN Charlestowne chapter is an existing plaza in downtown of Charleston, SC. It is subject to storm surge, flooding from heavy rains and high tides every year
Temporal and spatial aspects of bottlenose dolphin occurrence in coastal and estuarine waters near Charleston, South Carolina
No full textThe spatial and temporal occurrence of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the coastal and estuarine waters near Charleston, SC were evaluated. Sighting and photographic data from photo-identification (ID), remote biopsy, capture-release and radio-tracking studies, conducted from 1994 through 2003, were analyzed in order to further delineate residence patterns of Charleston area bottlenose dolphins. Data from 250 photo-ID, 106 remote biopsy, 15 capture-release and 83 radio-tracking surveys were collected in the Stono River Estuary (n = 247), Charleston Harbor (n = 86), North Edisto River (n = 54), Intracoastal Waterway (n = 26) and the coastal waters north and south of Charleston Harbor (n = 41). Coverage for all survey types was spatially and temporally variable, and in the case of biopsy, capture-release and radio-tracking surveys, data analyzed in this report were collected incidental to other research. Eight-hundred and thirty-nine individuals were photographically identified during the study period. One-hundred and fifteen (13.7%) of the 839 photographically identified individuals were sighted between 11-40 times, evidence of consistent occurrence in the Charleston area (i.e., site fidelity). Adjusted sighting proportions (ASP), which reflect an individual’s sighting frequency in a subarea relative to other subareas after adjusting for survey effort, were analyzed in order to evaluate dolphin spatial occurrence. Forty-three percent (n = 139) of dolphins that qualified for ASP analyses exhibited a strong subarea affiliationwhile the remaining 57% (n = 187) showed no strong subarea preference. Group size data were derived from field estimates of 2,342 dolphin groups encountered in the five Charleston subareas. Group size appeared positively correlated with degree of “openness” of the body of water where dolphins were encountered; and for sightings along the coast, group size was larger during summer months. This study provides valuable information on the complex nature of bottlenose dolphin spatial and temporal occurrence near Charleston, SC. In addition, it helps us to better understand the stock structure of dolphins along the Atlantic seaboard
