The commercial beach-seine fishery in False Bay, South Africa
… lobby that the commercial beach-seine fishery in False Bay was jeopardizing fish stocks and detrimentally affecting the ecology of the Bay. Its main aims were to quantify the current catch and place it in an historical perspective, to describe seasonal patterns in catches and effort and to assess …

Biodiversity patterns in False Bay: an assessment using underwater cameras
… composition and benthic marine biodiversity in False Bay, South Africa using novel methods that extended biodiversity sampling across more depths and habitats than any single, previous survey of the bay. This study's approach piloted sampling and interpreting the marine landscape and …

Petrogenesis of the False Bay dyke swarm, Cape Peninsula, South Africa
The False Bay dyke swarm is the southern-most set of Early Cretaceous dolerite dyke intrusions along the western margin of southern Africa associated with rifting of Gondwana and opening of the South Atlantic Ocean. Previous work highlighted the evolution of a single magma type from …

Baited remote underwater survey of chondrichthyans in False Bay, South Africa
… 60 minute video recordings across the whole of False Bay during the period of June-July 2012. Fifteen species of chondrichthyans were recorded, of which Haploblepharus edwardsii was the most abundant, being observed at 83 of 95 sites. One hour was sufficient to capture all the chondrichthyans …

The formulation of an administrative structure for the management of False Bay.
… mechanisms for planning and controlling False Bay, a complex marine and coastal system, provides insight into the problems that beset South African resource management in general and coastal zone management in particular. Problems of management result from the uncoordinated approach to …

Aspects of pollution in False Bay, South Africa (with special reference to subtidal pollution)
False Bay is the largest (circa 1000km²) natural, coastal embayment on the South African coastline and is located between latitudes 34°04'S and 34°23'S and longitudes 18°26'E and 18°52'E at the southern tip of Africa, near Cape Town, South Africa. The semi-enclosed nature of the bay makes it …

Politics of belonging and alienation: underprivileged communities' experiences of the False Bay Nature Reserve
… local communities surrounding the False Bay Nature Reserve in Cape Town, focusing on their sense of belonging or alienation. Conservation efforts often inhibit local communities' sense of belonging to nature, as they are seen as detrimental to conservation goals. This human …

The effect of the Cape Flats Aquifer on the water quality of False Bay
… Flats Aquifer, situated on the north shore of False Bay, is having on the water quality of the bay. Following increased development on the Cape Flats, the risk of the aquifer becoming contaminated has increased as it is situated below the informal settlement of Khayelitsha (where there is poor …

Demographics of a seasonal aggregation of white sharks at Seal Island, False Bay, South Africa
… at aggregation sites like Seal Island, False Bay. This study documents inter- and intra-seasonal trends in mean sighting rates and sex ratios of white sharks at Seal Island, and provides mark-recapture data that are used to estimate proportions of "resident" and "transient" white sharks, …

Optimisation of DNA extraction from teeth submerged in sea water in False Bay, South Africa
Extracting forensically useable DNA from human remains recovered from an open marine environment is problematic, and in some cases, impossible. The reason is unclear given the lack of research on marine decomposition, DNA survival in seawater, and possible methods to optimise the DNA extraction …

The influence of environmental variables on white shark (carcharodon carcharias) sightings at False Bay beaches.
In response to an increase in shark attacks in the Western Cape over the last decade, a shark warning system called Shark Spotters that records white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in the surf zone was implemented in 2004 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Impact of Wind Driven Variability on Sea Surface Temperature and Ocean Colour in False Bay
False Bay is the largest true bay in South Africa and is an important area for conservation, the local fishing industry and marine based recreational activities. A large amount of studies, both recent and historical, have been carried out on the biology of the bay, but studies on the physics of the …

The circulation and thermal structure of False Bay: a process-oriented numerical modelling and observational study
False Bay, the largest bay in South Africa, lies between two of the world's most in-fluential current systems: the Agulhas and Benguela Current Systems. False Bay is situated at a biogeographic break (Pitcher et al., 2010), belonging to both the South-ern Benguela upwelling system and the Western …
