	Tidal Wetland Ecology of Long Island Sound
		Tidal marsh animal communities are dominated by various snails in the genera Melampus and Littorina, the Ribbed Mussel (Guekensia demissa), three different fiddler crabs (Uca spp.), and several different minnows (Fundulus spp.
		Tidal circulation does many different kinds of work for these wetlands (analogous to the work farmers put into their fields) and this tidal powered work allows the extremely high biological productivity of these communities.
		Tidal waters are also the vehicle carrying plant nutrients onto the marsh in periods of abundance, and transporting excess nutrients back to the estuary at other times of the year.

	Tidal island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tidal island is a piece of land that is connected to the mainland by a natural or man-made causeway that is exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide.
		Tidal islands are also commonly the sites of fortresses, due to their natural fortifications.

	USC Sequence Stratigraphy - Barrier Islands - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A barrier island is an elongated body of sand, which runs parallel to the mainland shore and is separated from the main land by a lagoon.A barrier island is usually comprised of several parts which are shown it the figure below.
		Washover-Washovers are formed during large storm events when storm surges overrides the island and leaves deposits of dune and beach sand all the way to the lagoon.These washovers provide a mechanism for increasing the width of the island by providing a pathway for Aeolian deposition of sands on the beach and shore face.
		The Ebb Tidal Deltas form on the seaward side of the island and are sediments carried by the outgoing (or ebb) tide.Flood Tidal Deltas are formed on the landward side of barrier islands and are sediments carried by the incoming (or flood) tide.

	Tidal and Freshwater Circulation Patterns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Tidal currents in the East River are among the strongest in the region because of a difference in the height and timing of the tide between Long Island Sound and New York Harbor.
		Tidal excursions in the Kill van Kull are greater than the length of the channel, thus tidal motion is effective in mixing water between Newark Bay and the Upper Bay—particularly during spring tides.
		In contrast, tidal excursions in the Arthur Kill are significantly shorter than the length of the tidal strait, and thus tides do not generate complete transfer of water between Newark and Raritan Bays.

	Fire Island National Seashore - Natural Resources
		Fire Island is part of one of the world's longest chains of barrier islands, which fringes the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States from Massachusetts to Texas.
		The physiognomy of Fire Island is typical of Atlantic barrier islands that grade from a primary dune along the ocean to salt marsh along the bay.
		The Sunken Forest on Fire Island is a 16 hectare maritime oak-holly forest occurring behind the secondary dune, one of only a few mature maritime forests in the New York area and the northernmost holly-dominated maritime forest on the Atlantic barrier island chain.

		Today tidal marshes in State ownership are protected by the same laws which affect private lands.
		Here the DEP recently restored tidal flushing to the seven hectares (18 acres) of Fletcher's Creek and will construct several boardwalks across the marsh to provide public access and education about tidal wetland restoration.
		From an historical perspective the 1969 Tidal Marsh Act was truly a watershed event, one which signaled a changing environmental ethic felt at the national level during the first Earth Day in 1970.

	Introduction
		During the height of coastal development, some estimates put the loss of tidal marshes at the rate of four-tenths of a hectare (one acre) per day.
		Historically it appears that about 30 percent of all tidal marshes in Connecticut were destroyed, with the greatest losses in the western part of the State.
		At the municipal level, many towns own tidal wetlands and, through municipal regulations, marshes may be set aside as permanent open space during commercial development projects.

	ELLIS ISLAND, NY or ELLIS ISLAND, NJ? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Recovering the "original" island using geological techniques was considered impractical if not impossible because of the extensive manmade modifications that have taken place on and around the island over the last 1.5 centuries.
		Ellis Island originally was the northern of the Oyster Islands--a group of four low lying glacial moraine islands on the Jersey Flats that fringed the Hudson Channel (Squires, 1995).
		The acreage of the "original" island is to be "reconstituted" (Figure 3) in such a manner that the Main Building (the refurbished building) and the land immediately adjacent to it, including the present ferry slip be the sovereign territory of New York (Verkuil, 1997).

		Soon after, massive waves crashed into several countries across the region, and aftershocks in the magnitude-7 range were sparked, the USGS said, raising the possibility of a large regional death toll.
		Don Blakeman, and earthquake analyst with the USGS, said large tidal waves frequently follow quakes like the one seen in Indonesia, noting that a powerful quake in Alaska four decades ago caused waves that killed people as far away as Japan.
		Indonesia, a country of 17,000 islands, is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the margins of tectonic plates that make up the so-called the "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean basin.

	Revelation 13: The English King James version Bible code - A Giant Tidal Wave in the Future from a Canary Island ...
		It may be that the possibility of this tidal wave (from near North Africa, a Muslim area) is related holographically (a parallel symolic event) to the Al Qaida Muslim terrorism war against Europe and the U.S. -- which is a kind of Muslim terrorist wave hitting the U.S. and Europe.
		It is possible that this tidal wave could occur as Putin rises to become Antichrist, by year 2007, see the calendar page; I think there could be a holographic connection between this tidal wave, Osama bin Laden, and Putin the Antichrist; and this is why I think it could hit in or before 2007.
		Although this does not indicate it is the Canary Islands tidal wave, it may indicate a tidal wave in 2007, either the Canary Islands Tidal Wave or possibly another Asian tidal wave.
