Gulf of Mexico, United States: A Regional Management Plan. No. 28,
Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission, P.O. Box 726, Ocean Springs,
Mississippi, May.
The present stock assessment concludes that the black drum population in
the gulf is healthy; however, states should continue to monitor their
fisheries to maintain a conservation standard that is at least equivalent to a
20% SSB/R ratio. States should adopt gear restrictions, size limits, bag
limits, seasonal quotas or other restrictions as needed, and they should work
cooperatively to enact regulations that are consistent among states to the
maximum extent possible. All fish should be landed whole, with heads, tails
and flesh naturally attached, and only licensed commercial fishermen should be
allowed to sell drum. State should also evaluate the impacts of regulations
and their effects on solving problems and accomplishing management objectives.
This evaluation should include effects on black drum from restrictions used to
protect other fisheries.

Plan for Shrimp." Second Australian National Prawn Seminar.
Seasonal closures in the western gulf are estimated to have increased
gulf wide yield of Penaeus aztecus by 9% in 1981 and 6% in 1982. Monitoring
spring water temperatures and salinities allows some degree of accuracy in
predicting annual abundance of this species. Salinities about 10 parts per
hundred and temperatures above 20 degrees C are favorable. Benefits of
management of P. duorarum in the eastern Gulf are less clearly defined, and
relationships to environmental factors are not clearly understood.
Restriction on U.S. vessels access to former foreign fishing grounds and
increased imports from mariculture may require a reassessment of the
management program.

Measuring and Predicting Sea-Level Rise." Proceedings of the
Conference on Oceans, Climate, Man, Turin, Italy, April.
Relative sea level change at a particular location is primarily the sum
of global change and local change in land elevation. Published values for sea
level rise vary from 0.5 to 3 mm per year reflecting active local uplift or
subsidence. Screening these data, it can be shown that long term tide gauge
records measure the same underlying trend of sea level change. For planning
and engineering purposes, government officials and decision makers should
utilize the one meter benchmark because this estimate is well within the
probable range of change.

This chapter develops a model that combines (1) Thunen's conception of
rent as it varies with distance and transport costs from a center and (2)
Samuelson's capital theory reasoning of the impact of the interest rate and
other costs on the steady state solution for any given parcel of forest land
without regard to location and transport costs.
