The images in the showcase tell a story of life, beauty and art. Twenty-two drawings of estuarine creatures make up the latest exhibition on display at the North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island. Titled "High Tide on the Sound Side: Life in the Estuary," the show contains colored-pencil works by members of the Raleigh-Durham Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America. They were invited to fill the aquarium's spring exhibition slot with the intention of merging art with science.

Nutrient pollution in U.S. estuaries, such as the Chesapeake Bay, is likely to increase in the future, according to a report released yesterday by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. The report said estuarine eutrophication, or nutrient pollution, has been stable in many estuaries, the area where freshwater and saltwater meet, but is likely to rise due to a predicted increase in human-related activities along the coast.
Casco Bay is healthy for now, but suburban development remains a threat, concludes a new report. The report, issued Thursday by the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership, says that runoff from roads, lawns and other suburban development has replaced industrial discharges as the major threat to the bay's water quality and wildlife. The bay and its watershed account for only 3 percent of Maine's land, but they are home to 17 percent of its population.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing a No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for marine waters of the State of California for sewage discharges from: all large passenger vessels of 300 gross tons or greater; and from large oceangoing vessels of 300 gross tons or greater with available holding tank capacity or containing sewage generated while the vessel was outside of the marine waters of the State of California, pursuant to Section 312(f)(4)(A) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. 1322(f)(4)(A).

A blissful hereafter for me would be an endless October with its rust-colored foliage, crisp mornings and balmy, sun-drenched afternoons. There would be outdoor companions, hunting dogs, good bird guns and alder runs. The flaming sunsets would linger longer, and the rafting loons would not have to find refuge in coastal estuaries and points south. But, alas, it isn't so. October's powerful splendor is short- lived and outdoor folks must make plans and carry them out to the fullest -- if full benefit is to be gained. Outdoorsman sense a compression this time of year, not unlike the spring debut of Maine's abbreviated trout season. There is a mixed feeling, a sense of fleeting time along with great anticipation mingled with frustration. Fall fishing, bow hunting, bear hunt, moose hunt, up...
