| cruises from galveston 2014: Freshwater Inflows to Texas Bays and Estuaries Paul A. Montagna, Audrey R. Douglas, 2025-01-01 Estuaries are defined by mixing of river and sea water, thus freshwater inflow is a key driver of estuary ecosystem structure and function. While there is much concern about water quality, there is much less about water quantity. As water is diverted for human use, less is flowing to the coast, which threatens estuary ecosystems. Some jurisdictions are now setting inflow standards, but there is no consensus on how to identify how much freshwater an estuary needs. There is a climatic gradient along the northwestern Gulf of Mexico coast and estuaries vary from hydrologically positive to neutral to negative, and this makes the Texas coast the ideal place to study how ecological processes vary with freshwater inflow. An estuary comparison approach is used in this open access work to examine hydrology, circulation, salinity, nutrients, carbonate, dissolved oxygen, plankton, nekton, benthos, and habitat dynamics and responses across varying hydrological regimes. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: Seafaring Elegance: The Art of Cruise Interior Design Satakshi Choudhary, Dr. Sushil Kumar, 2024-02-02 Taking a cruise is an adventure into an unequalled world of luxury and design, not just a trip across the ocean. Cruise ships have evolved from being thought of as floating transit hubs to elegant, cutting-edge floating mansions. In the pages that follow, we will delve into the intriguing realm of cruise interior design and take you on a carefully planned journey through the creativity and craftsmanship that bring the onboard experience to new and amazing heights. Cruise interior design is a concept that harmonically combines form and function, allowing aesthetics to coexist peacefully with the practicalities of living at sea. This introduction opens the door to a world where every element, from the spacious atrium to the cozy staterooms, has been painstakingly chosen to exude luxury, coziness, and refinement. The way that cruise cabin design has changed throughout time has reflected changes in passenger expectations. Modern cruisers want an immersive experience that stimulates their senses and takes them to worlds of beauty and indulgence; they are no longer satisfied with simple utility. Cruise interior designers create a genuinely remarkable experience by carefully choosing materials, arranging light and space, and incorporating ecological methods. We will explore the complexities of designing cruise ship interiors and learn the stories behind the expansive atriums that act as the centrepiece of the ship, creating a visual symphony that sets the mood for the whole nautical experience. The atrium becomes a microcosm of the ship's personality, a precursor to the marvels that await on the decks above, from the choice of opulent materials to the thoughtful arrangement of seating places. Throughout the journey, the cabins and suites serve as our heavens, where guests may unwind in luxury and style. Here, designers have to balance making the most of the available space with providing passengers with the opulent experience they want. Cabins are designed to be both useful and aesthetically pleasing, with luxurious bedding, creative storage options, and stunning views of the constantly shifting seascape, creating peaceful retreats. Dining establishments are the focal point of a cruise's gastronomic story. Every place has a distinct tale to tell, from elegant fine dining venues that equal the sophistication of exclusive land-based restaurants to laid-back settings meant for carefree al fresco pleasures. The intricate details of these spaces, including as colour schemes, lighting designs, and furniture choices, 4 showcase the creativity of cruise interior design and work together to create an atmosphere that is a perfect match for the wide range of gastronomic options. A creative canvas is provided by entertainment places, which are the theatres and lounges where travellers enjoy the enchantment of live acts. Designers work in tandem with specialists in set design, lighting, and acoustics to turn these areas into magical theatres. The end effect is an engrossing journey that immerses visitors in an opulent theatrical setting. Common areas are similarly important to the story of cruise interior design as they are places where passengers congregate for socializing and relaxation. Lounges, gaming rooms, and libraries are designed to offer a variety of opportunities for unwinding and socializing. The goal is to establish social hubs that accommodate the many inclinations and appetites of the ship's multicultural patrons. Furthermore, cruise interior designers are using eco-friendly techniques as the necessity of sustainability becomes more widely recognized. The next sections will explore the eco-friendly projects that are influencing cruise interior design in the future. Recycled materials, energy-saving technologies, and a dedication to ethical sourcing all help to create a more sustainable and greener marine experience. We encourage you to embark on a visual and conversational trip with us as we explore the fascinating world of ship interior design. Discover the luxury and creativity that characterize contemporary cruise ships, and observe how practicality and design come together to create floating works of art. I hope this tour stimulates your senses and helps you to appreciate the creativity that these nautical wonders' painstakingly designed interiors have. Good luck on your journey! |
| cruises from galveston 2014: The Gulf of Mexico John S. Sledge, 2019-11-13 “[Sledge] rightfully celebrates and affirms the southern sea’s enriching past and gives readers reason to want for its wholesome and meaningful future.” —Jack E. Davis, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea The Gulf of Mexico presents a compelling, salt-streaked narrative of the earth’s tenth largest body of water. In this beautifully written and illustrated volume, John S. Sledge explores the people, ships, and cities that have made the Gulf’s human history and culture so rich. Many famous figures who sailed the Gulf’s viridian waters are highlighted, including Ponce de León, Robert Cavelier de La Salle, Francis Drake, Elizabeth Agassiz, Ernest Hemingway, and Charles Dwight Sigsbee at the helm of the doomed Maine. Gulf events of global historical importance are detailed, such as the only defeat of armed and armored steamships by wooden sailing vessels, the first accurate deep-sea survey and bathymetric map of any ocean basin, the development of shipping containers by a former truck driver frustrated with antiquated loading practices, and the worst environmental disaster in American annals. Occasionally shifting focus ashore, Sledge explains how people representing a gumbo of ethnicities built some of the world’s most exotic cities—Havana, way station for conquistadores and treasure-filled galleons; New Orleans, the Big Easy, famous for its beautiful French Quarter, Mardi Gras, and relaxed morals; and oft-besieged Veracruz, Mexico’s oldest city, founded in 1519 by Hernán Cortés. In the modern era the Gulf has become critical to energy production, fisheries, tourism, and international trade, even as it is threatened by pollution and climate change. The Gulf of Mexico is a work of verve and sweep that illuminates both the risks of life on the water and the riches that come from its bounty. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: Attack and Counterattack Joseph Milton Nance, 2014-08-27 It is 1842—a dramatic year in the history of Texas-Mexican relations. After five years of uneasy peace, of futile negotiations, of border raids and temporary, unofficial truces, a series of military actions upsets the precarious balance between the two countries. Once more the Mexican Army marches on Texas soil; once more the frontier settlers strengthen their strongholds for defense or gather their belongings for flight. Twice San Antonio falls to Mexican generals; twice the Texans assemble armies for the invasion of Mexico. It is 1842—a year of attack and counterattack. This is the story that Joseph Milton Nance relates, with a definitiveness and immediacy which come from many years of meticulous research. The exciting story of 1842 is a story of emotions which had simmered through the long, insecure years and which now boil out in blustery threats and demands for vengeance. The Texans threaten to march beyond the Sierra Madres and raise their flag at Monterrey; the Mexicans promise to subdue this upstart Texas and to teach its treacherous inhabitants their place. With communications poor and imaginations fertile, rumors magnify chance banditry into military raids, military raids into full-scale invasions. Newspapers incite their readers with superdramatic, intoxicating accounts of the events. Texans and Mexicans alike respond with a kind of madness that has little or no method. Texas solicits volunteers, calls out troops, plans invasions, and assembles her armies, completely disregarding the fact that her treasury is practically empty—there is little money to buy guns. Meanwhile, in Mexico, where gold and silver are needed for other purposes, “invasions” of Texas are launched—but they are only brief forays more suitable for impressive publicity than for permanent gains. Still, the conflicts of threat and retaliation, so often futile, are frequently dignified by idealism, friendship, courage, and determination. Both Mexicans and Texans are fighting and dying for liberty, defending their homes against foreign invaders, establishing and maintaining friendships that cross racial and national boundaries, struggling with conflicting loyalties, and—all the while—striving to wrest a living for themselves and their families from the grudging frontier. Attack and Counterattack, continuing the account which was begun in After San Jacinto, tells from original sources the full story of Texas-Mexican relations from the time of the Santa Fe Expedition through the return of the Somervell Expedition from the Rio Grande. These books examine in great detail and with careful accuracy a period of Texas history that had not heretofore been thoroughly studied and that had seldom been given unbiased treatment. The source materials compiled in the notes and bibliography—particularly the military reports, letters, diaries, contemporary newspapers, and broadsides—will be a valuable tool for any scholar who wishes to study this or related periods. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: Cruise Tourism and its Impact on a Destination using the example of the Caribbean Islands Lena Quandt, 2017-06-08 Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,9, University of Applied Sciences Saarbrücken (Wirtschaftswissenschaften), language: English, abstract: This thesis outlines the impacts of cruise tourism on the Caribbean islands and looks closer on the relationship between cruise lines and the ports of call in the Caribbean. Cruise tourism is one of the fastest growing branches of the tourism industry with the Caribbean islands as the most demanded and frequented region. The Caribbean stands out in the mass of cruise destinations as it offers the stereotyped perception of paradise. However the islands among themselves don’t distinguish much in terms of their primary offer which is mainly composed of sun, sand and sea. Many islands see the ultimate key to success in cruise tourism and make themselves dependent on the global players of the cruise industry and hereby suppress to take care of other sectors like health and education. Many ports fear to be cut off of the cruise lines’ itineraries if not meeting the passengers’ expectations. What also contributes to this fear is the development of cruise ships into independent destinations themselves offering a large range of services and attractions. Destinations fight at any price for cruise lines to berth at their ports, sometimes becom-ing even uneconomic as their expenses exceed their income. It is clear that cruise lines and ports need to work together in order to gain an advantage from the existence of cruise tourism. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: Cruise Tourism & Innovation Alexis Papathanassis, Michael H. Breitner, Ate de Groot, 2014 Innovation management is arguably essential for the profitability and growth sustainability of the cruise industry; as it is for most areas of business endeavour. Now, more than ever, the cruise sector is faced with significant challenges, including: safety and industry reputation in the aftermath of the Costa Concordia disaster, al larger competitive scope and diminishing profit margins. Given that innovation management can be perceived as a management attitude and cultural habit, fostering inspiration is just as relevant as delivering innovation methodologies and guidelines. On this basis, the aim of this combined conference proceedings is to provide a creativity impulse and to illustrate the breadth and potential of innovation management in the cruise sector. Sources on inspiration include: mobile information and communication technologies, multimedia, and the internet and focus on areas as diverse as safety, aesthetics, culture and professional education. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: Port Economics Wayne K. Talley, 2017-12-15 Port Economics is the study of the economic decisions (and their consequences) of the users and providers of port services. A port works as an engine for economic development. This book provides a detailed discussion of port freight service users, such as freight water and land carriers, that have their ships and vehicles serviced and their cargoes unloaded by ports, as well as passenger services such as ferry carriers which are serviced by ferry passenger ports. This text continues to enhance our understanding of port economics by exploring the economic theories, supply and demand curves, and the actual and opportunity costs relating to the carriers, shippers and passengers who use ports. This new edition has been updated throughout. This includes: An expanded discussion of container, break-bulk, dry-bulk, liquid-bulk and neo-bulk ports; An introduction of port service chains, hinterland transport chains, maritime transport chains and port multi-service congestion; A discussion of seaborne trade, dry ports, port centrality and connectivity and free trade zones. This updated and comprehensive introduction to port economics will be of benefit to students and researchers in their study of port economics and management. It is also of great importance to professionals who manage and operate ports as well as freight and passenger carriers. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: America's U-Boats Chris Dubbs, 2014-11-01 The submarine was one of the most revolutionary weapons of World War I, inciting both terror and fascination for militaries and civilians alike. During the war, after U-boats sank the Lusitania and began daring attacks on shipping vessels off the East Coast, the American press dubbed these weapons “Hun Devil Boats,” “Sea Thugs,” and “Baby Killers.” But at the conflict’s conclusion, the U.S. Navy acquired six U-boats to study and to serve as war souvenirs. Until their destruction under armistice terms in 1921, these six U-boats served as U.S. Navy ships, manned by American crews. The ships visited eighty American cities to promote the sale of victory bonds and to recruit sailors, allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to see up close the weapon that had so captured the public’s imagination. In America’s U-Boats Chris Dubbs examines the legacy of submarine warfare in the American imagination. Combining nautical adventure, military history, and underwater archaeology, Dubbs shares the previously untold story of German submarines and their impact on American culture and reveals their legacy and Americans’ attitudes toward this new wonder weapon. |
| cruises from galveston 2014: Sustainable Development Research and Practice in Mexico and Selected Latin American Countries Walter Leal Filho, Ricardo Noyola-Cherpitel, Pedro Medellín-Milán, Valeria Ruiz Vargas, 2017-11-27 This book provides an essential overview of sustainable development research in Mexico. It discusses the empirical research methods and findings, as well as practical initiatives and projects being pursued in Mexico and other countries in the region. Although a number of Mexican universities are now conducting high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development, there are few publications that offer a multidisciplinary overview of research efforts for a broader audience. This book addresses that gap in the literature, providing researchers at Mexican universities – including those from other countries working in Mexico – with an opportunity to present their work, i.e. curriculum innovations, empirical work, activities, case studies, and practical projects. As such, it fosters the exchange of information, ideas and experiences, successful initiatives and best practices. |

| cruises from galveston 2014: Birdlife of the Gulf of Mexico Joanna Burger, 2018-01-02 The Gulf of Mexico is one of the most important ecological regions in the world for birds. The mosaic of diverse habitats in the region provides numerous niches for birds. There are productive salt marshes, barrier islands, and sandy beaches for foraging and nesting; a direct pathway between North and Central and South America for migrating; and warm, tropical waters for wintering. Many species are residents all year around, some migrate through, and still others spend the winter along the shores. The Gulf Coast is home to a significant portion of the world’s population of Reddish Egret and Snowy Plover and a significant portion of the US breeding populations of certain birds, including the Sandwich Tern, Black Skimmer, and Laughing Gull. In total, there are more than 400 bird species that rely on the Gulf at some time during the year. Drawing on decades of fieldwork and data research, renowned ornithologist and behavioral ecologist Joanna Burger provides detailed descriptions of birdlife in the Gulf of Mexico. Burger records trends in bird population, behavior, and major threats and stressors affecting birds in the region, including the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. While some of this data exists in journal articles, research papers, and government reports, this is the first volume to weave together a comprehensive overview of the birds and related natural resources found in the Gulf of Mexico. Illustrated with over 900 color photographs, charts, and maps, this landmark reference volume will be immensely important for researchers, conservationists, land managers, birders, and wildlife lovers. |
