When Captain John Smith sailed up the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, he discovered a land so rich in wildlife that numbers could not begin to tell the whole story. The abundances of birds blackened the sky. Meat-eating wolves and mountain lions had so much game at their disposal that they didn't bother the caged livestock. Deer could be easily killed ten or fifteen at a time by the native tribes, using primitive tools. The wildlife was so abundant that it was no wonder generations of Europeans--used to the barren countryside at home--could not imagine the need to conserve. So, they didn't. In fact, they set out on a course to eliminate the less desirables of the wild kingdom. Soon, the colonists also developed a tremendous trade with Europe in skins, furs, feathers, and even live animals for the enjoyment of the king and high society. As guns improved, birds were not only hunted for food, but also were used for target practice, and the skies rained down passenger pigeons and other migratory birds. On the water, ducks and swans were slaughtered, dozens with a single shot. Three hundred years after Captain Smith marveled at the numbers of deer, they were gone from most of the Chesapeake region. Beavers had been trapped to near extinction. Mountain lions, black bears, bobcats, and wolves had been harassed and killed. The population of ducks that once numbered over a million was decimated. Even the forests fell silent. In this book, author/photographer Pat Vojtech uses historical data to recreate the story of wildlife of the Chesapeake region and reveal how close mankind came to eliminating forever many of the beautiful wildlife species taken so much for granted today. She relates how hard the struggle was to bring some Chesapeake wildlife species back from the brink of extinction. While this is a history of wildlife in the Chesapeake watershed, it mirrors society's impact on wildlife throughout North America and around the world more than the past four hundred years. Illustrated with more than 150 color photographs, this is a book any lover of wildlife or student of history will cherish.

The artwork presented in this book was hand drawn in ink on backgrounds of torn, collaged, paper maps. The maps, taken from a Collegiate World Atlas published by Rand McNally in 1964, are of the United States and the world. They are torn and collaged to illustrate that the colorful lines, shapes, and numbers that name, divide, locate, and demarcate the land are an illusion of ownership. The land does not belong to us. The collaged maps also symbolize the idea that some species have been forced out of Frederick County and into other regions and may be rare, threatened, and endangered across the United States and the world.Information for this project was sourced from the List of Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species of Frederick County, July 2019 by The Maryland Department of Natural Resources, The Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service, and The Natural Heritage Program. Each species is identified by common name, scientific name, state rank, and state status.The Piscataway people include both the Maryland State Recognized Piscataway Conoy Tribe and the Piscataway Indian Nation. Piscataway ancestral lands extend on most of the Western Shore of Maryland from Virginia to the Chesapeake Bay and north to Frederick including present day Washington, DC. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Piscataway Conoy Tribal College and University Scholarship Fund.

The Law Library presents the complete text of the Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants - Threatened and Endangered Status for Distinct Population Segments of Atlantic Sturgeon (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 We, NMFS, are issuing a final determination to list the Gulf of Maine (GOM) Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the New York Bight (NYB) and Chesapeake Bay (CB) DPSs of Atlantic sturgeon as endangered species under the ESA. We have proposed protective regulations for the GOM DPS in accordance with ESA section 4(d) in a separate rulemaking published in the Federal Register on June 10, 2011. We are currently considering the available information in order to designate critical habitat. With this rule, we are also soliciting information that may be relevant to the designation of critical habitat for all three DPSs in the Northeast Region. Details of our analyses, their outcome, and a request for public comment on our proposed critical habitat designations will be published in subsequent Federal Register documents. This ebook contains: - The complete text of the Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants - Threatened and Endangered Status for Distinct Population Segments of Atlantic Sturgeon (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition) - A dynamic table of content linking to each section - A table of contents in introduction presenting a general overview of the structure
