Tourism management guidelines for the Erongo coastal region, Namibia
Coastal areas are important as they contain a disproportionately large share of global urban areas; industrial activities; pollution sources; food production; tourism; biodiversity and poverty (Olsen, 1993: 201 ). Throughout much of the world, these areas face considerable population and …

PERSPECTIVES ON WATER MANAGEMENT FROM LOCAL WATER DECISION MAKERS IN A COASTAL REGION
The effects of climate change are already apparent in eastern North Carolina. Higher than average global temperatures have been implicated in more extreme weather events, with more frequent and intense storms and prolonged periods without precipitation. Some of the impacts include flooding, …

Investigation into a future policy landscape to achieve sustainability in the Scottish coastal region
… of a sustainable future for Scotland’s coastal communities is subject to, and dependent upon, a complex policy landscape of stakeholders and policy documents within which resource and information is transferred where relationships and dependencies, are linked to the power and influence …

Tall Fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire) Cultivar Performance in the Central California Coastal Region
Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire) has long been known as a turfgrass that utilizes lower levels of inputs than most other cool season turfgrasses (Turgeon, 2005). In recent years, turf breeders have been selecting for cultivars of tall fescue that have finer leaf textures. …

On the warm bias along the South-West African Coast in coupled models : an oceanic perspective
… biases over the SouthWest African (SWA) coastal region. Recent investigations indicate that coastal ocean dynamics may play an important role in determining the SST patterns, but none of them provide a detailed analysis. In this study, I analyze simulations produced both by coupled models …

The Geologic And Paleogeographic Setting Of An Archeological Site On The Southwestern Coast Of Parita Bay, Panama
The coastal region in the southwestern corner of Parita Bay, Panama has five distinct environmental zones that can be individually identified by their textures. Sediment extracted from cores can be divided into zones of sediment type on the basis of texture. These zones of distinctive sediment …

Diagnosis of physical and biological controls on phytoplankton distribution in the Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank region
… Sargasso Sea and the Gulf of Maine- Georges Bank region, respectively. The first model investigates the annual cycles of production and the response of the annual cycles to external forcing. The computed seasonal cycles compare reasonably well with the data. The spring bloom occurs after the …

Development of a system for testing grid-connected permanent magnet wind generators
… manufacturing sector. South Africa has a large coastal region which is ideal for wind energy deployment. The integration of wind power into the grid needs to be understood as well as the possible problems associated with it. The objective this thesis is to develop a laboratory-based system which …

Medium-Term (Months to Years) Morphodynamic Modelling of a Complex Estuarine System
… import to the estuary from the neighbouring coastal region, due to the ebb dominated tidal regime found at Teignmouth. The importance of the combined effects of wave stirring and mixed grain sizes on reproducing the sediment import processes is confirmed by the Brier skill scores. Model …

Q Models for Lg Wave Attenuation in the Central United States
… of the Lg phase in the mid-continent and Gulf Coastal region. The TA data reveal previously unrecognized regional variability of ground motion propagation in the central United States. A study of the Fourier amplitude spectra shows the Lg phase exhibiting strong attenuation for ray paths from …

Analysis and interpretation of tidal currents in the coastal boundary layer
… with the impact of human activities on the coastal region of the world's oceans has elicited interest in the so-called "coastal boundary layer"-that band of water adjacent to the coast where ocean currents adjust to the presence of a boundary. Within this zone, roughly 10 km wide, several …

The role of water column and benthic communities in the spatial and temporal production and uptake of nutrients in controlling the trophic status of the Knysna River Estuary, South Africa
… estuarine ecosystem in the warm temperate coastal region of South Africa. The estuary remains oligotrophic (chlorophyll-a < 5 mg l-1) despite increases in anthropogenic input of nitrogen and phosphate associated with the rapidly increasing urbanization of its littoral and catchment. This …

The role of EIA in influencing coastal access in two golf estates in the southern Cape coast, South Africa
As coastal development pressures continue to transform coastal regions into private havens for the benefit of a privileged few, conflicts over coastal access issues continue to increase. The southern Cape coast of South Africa is no exception to this phenomenon and the privatization of this coastal …
