Se presentan los resultados de la evaluación de la abundancia de camarón café (Farfantepeneaus aztecus ) en las costas de Tamaulipas durante el verano de 2002. Se realizaron cuatro cruceros de pesca exploratoria en las costas de Tamaulipas en agosto en donde se analizaron los valores de biomasa por área barrida. Estos valores fueron comparados con los obtenidos en cruceros de pesca exploratoria previos. La información fue complementada con datos de la estructura por tallas observadas durante mayo en Laguna Madre y tallas capturadas durante julio en altamar. Los resultados muestran que los rendimientos de la captura y la bio masa existentes son menores a los meses anteriores. Asi mismo, la estructura de tallas en el sistema lagunar, en la costa y la zona lejana a la costa (20 m a 42 m de profundidad) muestran un retraso en el reclutamiento y una desaceleración en el crecimiento, posiblemente como resultado de la anormalidad en la temperatura y la precipitación. Los valores bajos de la bio masa y las tallas observadas provocaron que los rendimientos en las capturas comerciales de altamar fueran menores a lo esperado. Abundance as sessment of brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus) in Tamaulipas coasts, 2002 Results from brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus ) abundance evaluation of the coasts of Tamaulipas during summer of 2002 are presented. Four exploratory fishing cruises were carried out in the coasts Tamaulipas during August, where bio mass values were analyzed by swept area. These values were compared with data of previous exploratory fishing cruises. The information was complemented with data of size structure, observed during May in Laguna Madre and information from a survey carried out in June 2001. The results shown that the yield of capture and bio mass existing are smaller than the previous months. Likewise, the structure of sizes in the inshore system, from the coast and the distant zone to the coast (20 m to 42 m depth) shown a de lay in the recruit ment and abundance on decrease, possibly explained as a result of a temperature and rain fall abnormality. The low values observed of bio mass and sizes, caused that yields in the commercial captures of open sea were smaller than the expected ones.

The Impact

Purpose This study aims to theoretically contextualize the liquefied natural gas (LNG) issue using Bauman and Debord. More generally, this research provides a theoretical and qualitative context to understand the LNG issue in discussions of environmental management, globalization and local government. Design/methodology/approach This study uses Boje’s narrative case study approach to analyze the politics around localized resistance movements to LNG production in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). Specifically, this study examines the data collected from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, personal interviews and public declarations (newspapers, blogs, social media) to create an historiographical account of LNGs in the RGV to analyze the Laguna Madre resistance case regarding three LNG companies. Findings The development of LNG in Laguna Madre has been at least temporarily halted. This is considered partially because of the pandemic, reduced demand and local resistance. In the Laguna Madre case, controlling narratives by the LNG resistance appeared to be an essential component of their overall strategy. Originality/value Understanding the impact of energy development locally and globally becomes increasingly important, as access to fossil fuels become more limited. This case helps understand the overall adverse actions taken by LNGs to exploit communities, individuals and the environment while illustrating practical tools being used to resist the less desirable elements of energy development.

AbstractJust as humans succumb to hypothermia, fishes can die if their core body temperature falls below their lower lethal limit. Record-setting cold weather in the southern United States between January 8 and 12, 2010, put numerous recreational game fish species at risk, particularly those living in the shallow, rapidly cooled waters of the Laguna Madre, Texas. Cognizant of the danger of barge traffic in the Land Cut, a section of the Intracoastal Waterway in the Laguna Madre, poses to cold-stressed fishes, Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association (GICA) members voluntarily sacrificed $7,000 per tow to protect the resource. Described here is the collaboration among academics at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M University, industry leaders from the Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association, and conservationists from the Coastal Conservation Association Texas, which led to the pooling of financial and human resources to mitigate game fish mortalities during a recent extreme cold weather event, or norther, as Texans refer to it. A new water temperature forecasting tool, in development and tested in this partnership, is discussed in terms of ecosystem-based management, of which a key component is engaging multiple stakeholders in a collaborative process to define problems and find solutions. The partnership exemplifies the mission of the developing U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System and Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System Regional Association to use data and tools to provide information, to deliver that information to decision makers in a timely manner, and to make and implement decisions that promote sustainable use of resources.
