In 1998 the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) imposed a moratorium on sturgeon catches. In 2012, most Atlantic sturgeon populations, including the Carolina distinct population segment (DPS), became federally listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The aging Alligator River Bridge on US 64, Dare County, NC, is slated to be replaced within the next few years. Currently, data are very limited about if and how Atlantic sturgeon utilize the Alligator River, especially around the US 64 Bridge crossing. Federal and state permitting agencies are concerned that the construction of the new bridge and demolition of the old bridge will harass and/or harm Atlantic sturgeon in proximity to the construction area. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the permitting agencies need more information on the migratory movements of Atlantic sturgeon through the project area when considering the effect to this species from construction of the new Alligator River Bridge. Discussions between the NCDOT Division 1, Raleigh Environmental Analysis Unit and NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) have occurred to address the possibility for an in-water work moratorium for the Alligator River Bridge replacement. The reason for this moratorium request is due to the lack of existing data about when and to what magnitude Atlantic sturgeon are in Alligator River during times of the year. To obtain the needed information required by NCDMF, research must be conducted in the area of interest. A collaboration of NCDMF, NCDOT and Virginia commonwealth University (VCU), propose to start collecting, implanting telemetry tags and monitoring sturgeon movements in the Alligator River.]]> Mon, 28 Aug 2023 10:18:02 GMT https://rip.trb.org/View/2236950 SPR-4810: Feasibility of Utilizing Native Grasses and Other Vegetation In Lieu of Exotic Cool Season Grasses https://rip.trb.org/View/2232788 Thu, 24 Aug 2023 15:09:14 GMT https://rip.trb.org/View/2232788 Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices.
