	Fernandina and North Florida Coast: Florida Seafood and Aquaculture
		Fernandina, once an active port because of its natural harbor, is the only town on the island and takes up 7 square miles in the North Central region.
		The evolution was threefold: a change in location from inshore to offshore; a change in method from cast nets, haul seines and bar nets to the modern otter trawl; and a change in power from rowboats and sailboats to fleets of motor-powered vessels.
		Fernandina is where shrimpers put it all together and where the great international fleets of today had their humble beginnings.

	Fernandina Volcano: Why the Galapagos hotspot isn’t so hot
		Fernandina Volcano, the most active of Galapagos volcanoes and the one most directly overlying the Galapagos hotspot, has erupted homogenous, plagioclase-phyric tholeiitic lavas over its accessible history.
		Fernandina lavas are in sharp contrast to more primitive, olivine-dominated Hawaiian lavas.
		The lack of primitive melts in the shallow Fernandina magmatic system implies that substantial fractionation and heat loss occurred during lithospheric melt transport to the edifice magma chamber, despite traversing through warm, young, and thin lithosphere adjacent to the Cocos-Nazca ridge.
