Assessing variability in standardised harvest rates from shore-based recreational fishing surveys
… of recreational catches being harvested from the shore, the development of an index of harvest rates from shore-based recreational fishing would be a valuable addition to stock assessments for some species. However, the large spatio-temporal scope of this fishery poses logistical and financial …

Inference of River Hydrodynamics and Ice Processes from Close-Range Remote Sensing
… remote sensing both using aerial and fixed shore-based imagery in river ice monitoring and data collection has facilitated improved insights into these processes, contributing to better river management and the mitigation of potential hazards. This thesis focuses on the development and …

Design and analysis of shipboard electrical distribution
… The design structure is a combination of shore-based power utility and shipboard distribution. The primary section is an interconnected bus feeder ring which resembles a shipboard vertical loop firemain. The bus feeder ring emulates the firemain’s network structure because it is well …

Fishing patterns around the Cape Peninsula National Park : implications for a fisheries monitoring program
… analyse the extent and distribution of boat and shore based fishing along the Cape Peninsula for the purpose of designing a comprehensive fisheries monitoring program. The focus of this study is the non-quota regulated fisheries, which have thus far eluded monitoring attempts. A fishery …

Rapid remote determination of hydrographic data for modified surf Index calculations and naval applications
… the naval component of Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore (JLOTS), in addition to underwater construction, surveys, and repairs. The NBG and UCTs currently conduct surveys and inspections using divers, shore-based personnel, sonar (single, multi-beam, and side-scan), and remotely operated vehicles …

Application and evaluation of high speed data transfer for decision support in remote health care.
… communities, merchant marine vessels and offshore installations. In each scenario, telemedical technology and new operational procedures were devised and applied, taking into account the health care requirements of the remote population and the medical education of the remote practitioners. …

The role of sampling location and depth in the performance of lake plant environmental DNA metabarcoding
… few community composition patterns related to offshore distance and sampling depth. Patterns included slightly elevated alpha diversity in near-shore samples, but no other significant effects. Read abundances were heavily weighted toward aquatic macrophytes, but we identified representatives of …

Livelihoods of small-scale fishers of Struisbaai : implications for Marine Protected Area planning.
… a migratory commercial line fishery, boat and shore-based recreational fishery, chokka squid commercial fishery, and commercial trawlers. The overall aim of this study is to understand the human (social, economic, cultural and institutional) dimensions of the small-scale fisheries sector in …

Investigations of scalar transfer coefficients in fog during the Coupled Boundary Layers and Air Sea Transfer experiment : a case study
… from the 20-27 August 2003. Other data from the shore based Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) and moored buoys in the vicinity of the ASIT were also incorporated.

A systems engineering analysis of unmanned maritime systems for U.S. Coast Guard missions
… derive three USCG UMS alternatives: (1) Cutter-Based Tactical UUV, (2) Shore-Based Harbor/Coastal UUV/USV, and (3) Operational Offshore USV. These alternatives and their respective system architectures provide a design concept for near- to mid-term (5-10 year) acquisition. Finally, feasibility …

Investigations of scalar transfer coefficients in fog during the Coupled Boundary Layers and Air Sea Transfer Experiment : a case study
… from the 20-27 August 2003. Other data from the shore based Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) and moored buoys in the vicinity of the ASIT were also incorporated. During this eight day period, the boundary layer was often characterized by light winds, a stably stratified surface layer …

Artisanal whaling in the Atlantic: a comparative study of culture, conflict, and conservation in St. Vincent and the Faroe Islands
… cooperatively to drive an entire pod of whales ashore, where shore-based whalers are waiting to complete the kill with traditional whaling knives. Vincentian whaling traces its origins to the late nineteenth century. Records of Faroese whaling date to the late sixteenth century but the practice …

Towards the co-production of fisheries knowledge for co-management using mobile technologies
… the South African coastline, ranging from the shore-based harvesting of intertidal resources such as mussels, to the targeting of migratory line-fish stocks using small motorized vessels. Due to their high dependence on marine resource harvesting, small-scale fishers (SSF) are among the most …

The environmental factors determining temporal distributions of cetaceans in Mossel Bay, South Africa
… of five species of cetaceans were recorded from shore based locations between February 2010 and August 2014 in Mossel Bay, Western Cape. In this study, we aimed to examine the underlying environmental variables: sea surface temperature (°C), chlorophyll a concentration (mg.m-3) and moon …

Impact of localized harvest on the population of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) of Lake Moomaw, Virginia
… spawning period, where they are vulnerable to a shore-based, harvest-oriented fishery. The extent of this fishery and resulting effects on the small mouth bass population were analyzed by means of a creel survey in the headwaters area during the spring spawning seasons of 1995 and 1996. Effort, …

Sense of place visualization for the whaling station remains of South Georgia Island
… of South Georgia Island through a gallery based exhibition of a combination of digital art, olfactory installation, and theatrical performance concerning South Georgia whaling. These representations aim toward a gestalt effect that is complementary to existing representations and accounts …

Climate Change Adaptation Planning and Decision Making for Transit Infrastructure
… Blue Line case study, we find implementation of shore-based measures to be more favorable than transit-specific adaptation alternatives, when considering sampled institutional priorities.
