The Atlantic sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) is harvested in the waters off the coast of the northeastern United States and Canada by vessels from both countries. The Atlantic sea scallop fishery has been an important fishery in the Northeastern U.S. in recent decades. This is particularly true for New England where, during the quarter-century ending in 1976, over 10 percent of the value of all fish and shellfish landed was attributable to the harvest of sea scallops.

Late Wisconsinan

AbstractA major pre-Wisconsinan glacial event is the only possible source of the lower till on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. The till occurs near the late Wisconsinan drift border and below fossiliferous marine beds of oxygen-isotope stage 5 (Sangamonian) age. It is considered to be Illinoian in age, but the evidence is tenuous. The till is correlated with the lower till of New England, and its presence supports the view that the New England upper and lower tills represent two glaciations. The pre-Wisconsinan (lower) till in New England may correlate with older tills elsewhere in the northeastern United States and in southeastern Canada that are considered to be early Wisconsinan or older in age.

Reflection And Refraction

Geophysical and geological data of many types are now available from the continental margin of the eastern United States. These include seismic reflection and refraction data, gravity and magnetic measurements, cores of sediments and dredge hauls of rocks, underwater photographs, echo sounding data, and a large body of surface and subsurface geological data from the adjacent land.Major differences in the sedimentary pattern and sedimentary types occur from north to south and reflect not only source differences but also differences in means of transport and deposition. The data indicate a continuity of structure from Newfoundland to the Bahamas, interrupted only by the Kelvin-New England seamount group and associated structures ashore. They suggest that the ocean basin west of Bermuda is at least as old as Paleozoic.

Regulatory Changes

Produce safety and climate change are two overlapping risks that face vegetable producers in the northeastern United States. Because of recent public health outbreaks (and subsequent litigation) traced back to fresh produce, food safety hazard identification and risk mitigation has become the focus of significant regulatory changes in the United States (FDA 2015)

Abstract Fault plane solutions for eight earthquakes occurring in the northeastern United States have been determined using P-wave first motions and a computer algorithm for picking all valid solutions. The predominant mechanism in the area is thrust faulting, however the direction of the P axis is not consistent throughout the entire area. In central New England (Maine-New Hampshire), the P axis trends nearly E-W. In southeastern New England, the P axis trends N-S to NE-SW. In the Adirondacks region of New York, the P axis trends NE-SW as previously reported by Yang and Aggarwal (1981). Although the stress distribution appears to be complicated, as in the Central United States (Street et al., 1974), an underlying E-W compressive stress may exist in the New England area. These small earthquakes may represent the response to local stress concentrations.
