SBS JUNEAU IN COLD WATER ACTION

USCG Station Juneau patrols Icy Strait

JUNEAU - The Coast Guard deployed a small boat for a boating safety enforcement patrol in Icy Strait earlier this month. The small boat crew from Station Juneau boarded 31 vessels during their eight-day patrol. hey patrolled in the vicinity of Glacier Bay and Icy strait for a total of 340 nautical miles in a 25-foot boat. The crew launched from Auke Bay on June 2 and returned June 10.

The most common safety infraction's the small boat crew came across were violations of throwable type 4 portable floatation devices (PFD) and expired flares.

A throwable type 4 PFD is a Coast Guard approved device such as a buoyant cushion, ring buoy or horseshoe buoy designed to be thrown onto water.

"We were definitely the first Coast Guard RBS (Rigid Hull Inflatable) small boat to patrol in that area," said Chief Petty Officer Ryan O'Meara, [Vincennes Student] officer-in-charge, Station Juneau.

During the eight-day patrol the small boat crew rested in the towns of Hoonah, Gustaveus and Pelican.

JUNEAU ALASKA OCEANOGRAPHY

Oceanography

Oceanography is the traditional face-to-face Introduction to Oceanography lecture class and covers chemical, biological, physical and geological oceanography. There may be a field trip requirement for the course that can be completed by taking a boat cruise or visiting an aquarium. Adrian Longacre is the instructor for this course and will be glad to field all questions from studets. Power Point course discs are provided for each lecture alongside on board class meetings TTH 0730-0930.

About 97% of earth's water resources is available in ocean. The increase in population and fast dwindling land resources lead to tapping and exploitation of ocean resources. Unjudicious exploitation of ocean resources may imbalance the ecology. In addition oceans play an important role in climatic changes influencing monsoon that decides the economic development.

Remote Sensing technology is extremely useful to study and manage the natural ocean resources. In addition to the management of resources global warming and pollution are some of the major issues that the globe is encountering presently. Studies on chlorophyll, aerosol distribution, and coastal pollution address these issues. While studies on Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ), oil slicks, mineral deposits and tourism have economic significance; studies on coastal zone, mangrove degradation, coral bleaching etc. are useful in maintaining the eco-system intact. In spite of having economic importance, aqua culture development and construction of ports in-appropriately may disturb the ecology. Strategic applications like ship identification and their velocity estimation are also critical.

In general the oceanography applications can be broadly divided into the following three major areas:

Physical Oceanography
Biological Oceanography
Geological/Coastal Oceanography
