Abstract:

The African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP) was established in 2002 after the discovery of a colony of coelacanths off the Maputaland coast at Sodwana Bay, KwaZulu Natal. The environmental education and awareness sub-programme developed learning support materials (LSM's) for use in schools and the materials were disseminated annually through teacher education workshops. This study aimed to uncover the use of these LSM's in the rural schools of Maputaland. The active learning framework was used to analyse the materials. Collectively, the ACEP materials cover a range of active learning asp

Abstract:

The vegetation of the Kosi Bay Coastal Forest Reserve was classified by means of Braun-Blanquet and TWINSPAN procedures. Twelve major plant communities were identified, occurring along a gradient from the inland fresh water habitats, to the beach with influences from strong winds and salt spray. Some of these communities were further divided into plant communities and sub-communities giving a total of 27 plant communities and three sub-communities. A vegetation map was compiled for the study area using Geographical Information System procedures. Veld condition was good and the grazing cap

Abstract:

Animals use their senses for everything on an immediate, and day to day fashion – detecting danger, finding food, finding mates among other activities. In sea turtles and other migratory species senses are used for long-distance migrations. Senses such as smell, vision and hearing, have been studied experimentally under laboratory conditions but seldom have been investigated in the field. This thesis takes a combination of field and laboratory experiments and investigates some of the hypotheses involved in natal homing and nest site selection.

This research article is an overview of the traditional and current cuisine of the Mbila community. The Mbila community lives in the area of Sodwana Bay, Maputaland situated on the north eastern coast of South Africa. The community has a high unemployment rate which leads to poverty. The promotion of the Mbila cuisine as a sustainable tourism product could be used to uplift the community. The tourism industry of Sodwana Bay was also investigated and discussed according to sustainable tourism principles.

Abstract:

The development of coral reefs is largely restricted to areas within the tropics where favourable conditions for both coral and reef growth prevail. There is, however, a continuum from these typical, accretive reefs in the tropics to marginal, non-accretive, coral-dominated reef communities which occur at higher latitudes. High-latitude reefs function similarly in many regards to their tropical counterparts and are regulated by similar processes to a varying degree. In this study, the major biological and physico-chemical processes were assessed which directly or indirectly prevent the continu

Abstract:

South Africa has a few unique and understudied areas of interest regarding wetlands, of which the Maputaland Coastal Plain (MCP) is one. This is regarded as a large gap in scientific knowledge, especially since firstly, the MCP is regarded as a unique area in terms of biodiversity, geology, social history, and ecosystem variety; and secondly, wetlands are a vulnerable, and yet a greatly important ecosystem type in South Africa. Additionally the wetlands on the aeolian derived sandy soils associated with the MCP are problematic to delineate. Although the wetland delineation guideline of DWAF (2

Abstract:

The savanna elephant is a flagship species for conservation in Maputaland, a biologically diverse centre of endemism. At present Maputaland’s elephants are fragmented into two sub-populations, those confined to the Tembe Elephant Park (TEP) and those roaming across the Maputo Elephant Reserve (MER) and along the Futi Corridor. Fragmentation may have affected the sub-populations by skewing age and sex ratios, decreasing survival, isolating the sub-populations, and restricting landscape selection. My evaluation of historical population estimates suggest that the size of the elephant populations

Abstract:

Most elephants in South Africa live in enclosed areas such as the Tembe Elephant Park in Maputaland. The Park also protects sand forest. This can create a conflict of interest as elephants may influence species typical of these forests. To assess the effects that elephants may have for vegetation, I compare variables of similar plant communities inside and outside the Park. I then compared the space and landscape utilization of elephants living in the Park with those of free-ranging elephants living in southern Mozambique. In the final analyses, I used meta-analytical methods to interpret my f

The southern Mozambique/ South Africa borderland is a landscape epitomised by fluctuation, contradiction and constant transformation. It is a world betwixt-and-between Mozambique and South Africa. The international border, imposed on the landscape more than a century ago, gives life to a new world that stretches across and away from it. The inhabitants of this transitional zone constantly shape and reshape their own identities vis-à-vis people on the opposite and same side of the border.

The Maputaland Coastal Plain is situated in north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The Maputaland Coastal Plain and underlying aquifer are two separate but inter-linked entities.

The wetlands overlie and in some cases also connect to the underlying regional water-table.
