CRC Publications

Welcome to the CRC Publications database. Here, you can search for and access over 150 documents published by the CRC since its founding in 1972, including numerous research project reports, conference proceedings, research synthesis reports, and other original documents produced  by the CRC.  These include, for example, searchable PDF copies of early NSF project reports authored by the CRC's "founding fathers" (L. Eugene Cronin, William J. Hargis, Jr., and Donald W. Pritchard) and their many professional colleagues during the important pre-CBP partnership years (1972-1983).
{Note:  Most publications for the Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) have been published by the CRC since the CBP's creation in 1984.  These publications have been separately cataloged, however, and most are not available here.

key words : fish; marine resources; fisheries; monitoring; stock

The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) and NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Office(NCBO) co-hosted a baywide workshop of scientists and managers from academic,federal, and state agencies in early March 2006. The workshop’s focus was discussion ofa potential baywide, integrated, fish stock monitoring program that facilitates cross-bayfisheries management. The opening remarks by J. Travelstead, Virginia MarineResources Commission (VMRC), outlined fisheries management needs for the three tidalfisheries management organizations — the VMRC, the Potomac River FisheriesCommission (PRFC), and Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR).Following presentations highlighted other successful fish monitoring programs in Canadaand the Eastern U.S. These presentations served as the foundation for workshopparticipant discussions on linking management needs with monitoring possibilities for thetidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The discussions by participants,along with a compilation and consensus on future steps in developing a baywide fishmonitoring program for the Chesapeake, yielded the following initial concepts foradvancing such a program.

Hurricane Isabel in Perspective: Proceedings of a Conference CRC, UMCES, VIMS, NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office, EPA, MD DNR, VA and MD NERR, Campbell Foundation, and USGS sponsored conference, November 15

Downtown Annapolis, Alexandria, and Fells Point in Baltimore under water; piers and docks destroyed, cars parked several hundred yards inland inundated; year-plus frustrations with federal and personal insurance recoveries for storm damage. What was so different about this hurricane versus others that have blown over the Bay? In fact, Isabel was not a hurricane when she arrived but a tropical storm, yet she still caused devastating damage in the tidal areas of the Bay and its tributaries. Why, with the best hurricane projections possible, was the region caught unprepared? Why was there so much damage when everyone knew the storm was approaching and where she would track? These questions have motivated managers, local government officials, and the scientific community since Isabel visited in September 2003 and inspired a cross-community conference, “Hurricane Isabel in Perspective” held at the Maritime Institute in Linthicum, Maryland in November 2004. Sponsored by the Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), the conference encouraged participation by scientists, managers, and many emergency responders to explore the reasons for the devastating impacts of the hurricane and to discuss openly why the advanced forecasting tools and preparedness teams were unable to protect property throughout the region.
