The Effect of Boat Type on Bottlenose Dolphin (<i>Tursiops trucatus</i>) Behavior in the Mississippi Sound
… it may be difficult to assess the effect of boat traffic on all species in all contexts, it is vital to report anthropogenic impacts where longitudinal data is available, and doubly so where a dearth of information exists. The purpose of this study is to describe how dolphin behavior changed …

Quantifying the effects of boat wakes on intertidal oyster reefs in a shallow estuary
… about the negative impacts of recreational boating activity in the Indian River Lagoon system (IRL), especially in Mosquito Lagoon (ML), the northernmost part of the IRL. My research is focused on the impacts of boat wakes on intertidal reefs formed by the eastern oyster, Crassostrea …

A Mathematical Model To Simulate Small Boat Behaviour
… The accuracy with which the performance of a boat under autopilot control can be predicted leaves much to be desired. The thesis provides a mathematical model to simulate small boat behaviour and so can assist with the design and testing of marine autopilots. The boat model is presented in six …

Disturbance effects of boat-based tourism on waterbirds at the Ramsar-designated De Hoop Vlei, Western Cape, South Africa
… Bird Area (IBA). Proposals for motorized boat tours and kayak tours on the vlei have been made, for which this study provides an impact assessment. Repeated counts were performed in order to characterize the waterbirds present during the high water level conditions required for boating. …

Boat preference and stress behaviour of Hector's dolphin in response to tour boat interactions
… Zealand have been observed using theodolites and boat-based observations over the last two decades, particularly on the east side of the South Island at Akaroa, which is situated on the coast line of Banks Peninsula. This research was undertaken using shore-based theodolite tracking to observe …
