Bibliography: pages 144-155.<br>Dunes are an integral part of the Walvis Bay environment. Their dynamics significantly influence the functioning of the coastal system and have major implications for both the ecological and socio-economic environments. In light of residential, commercial and industrial requirements for the Walvis Bay area, dune encroachment needs to be seriously considered in the future planning of land-use and resource utilisation. The overall objective of this report, therefore, is to provide a better understanding of the dominant role dunes and sand drift play in the study a

Le processus d'indépendance de la Namibie s'achève véritablement le 1er mars 1994 avec la rétrocession de l'enclave de Walvis Bay par l'Afrique du Sud à la Namibie. Le cas de figure est particulièrement intéressant car la ville est un outil industriel et portuaire indispensable au jeune état namibien. Dans le contexte de décentralisation et de libéralisation qui prévaut, les pouvoirs locaux issus des premières élections démocratiques doivent donc composer avec trois grands impératifs : réparer les inégalités héritées de l'apartheid, gérer la croissance démographique et attirer les investisseme

Abstract:

The thesis focuses upon the final reintegration of Walvis Bay and its twelve Penguin/Off-Shore Islands into Namibia. As Namibia's only deep water port, it escaped reintegration in 1989 when the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 435 (1978) was implemented. Hence the study argues that the exclusion of Walvis Bay from the Settlement Plan falls outside the parameters of various UNSC and UN General Assembly Resolutions, viz 385 and 432 of 1976 respectively. Such an arrangement has to be looked at as Pretoria's non-compliance with the above resolutions. South Africa got away with su

Abstract:

Around the world, the implementation of effective fisheries management has been met with a variety of challenges. The incorporation of fisher's local ecological knowledge (FK) into the management paradigm is an important step in understanding perceptions and responses to the changing environment, and emerges as an indispensable component in the dialogue between trans-disciplinary coastal ecology studies. This dissertation seeks to contribute to the integration of these knowledges, and emphasises the involvement of fishers, communities, and research in informing policy.

Based in Walvis Bay, an industrial fishing town in Namibia on the west coast of southern Africa, this thesis argues that via the logic of neoliberalism, relations between scientific knowledge production, historical labour practices, and political decision-making emerge as a way of managing people and nature in uneven ways. Scientific modelling practices in the form of stock assessments, maintain traction as the technological solution for managing natural resource extraction in Namibia. As such, the dissertation explores the efficacy of computer models in the industrial fishing sector and consi

Cardiff Bay is an artificial freshwater lake created by the impoundment of 100 ha of estuarine intertidal mudflats in the early 2000s.

This study utilises a combination of geochemical, molecular genetic and novel cultivation based approaches to explore how the methanogen community of Cardiff Bay sediments has responded to the transition from brackish to freshwater conditions caused by impoundment, and how they might respond to future climate ch

Abstract:

This thesis examines community structure of cliff-top coastal heathlands in Botany Bay National Park, Sydney. Community properties of floristic composition, structure and species richness are investigated. This investigation is made in order to assess the justification for contemporary pre-emphasis in local studies on individual community properties. It is also made in order to assess the relative and independent contributions of individual properties to variance in overall community structure. It is also made in order to assess the relative utility of multi-property classifications in summari

Dissertação de mestrado, Biologia Marinha, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, 2017<br>The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus, Montagu, 1821) belongs to the sub-order Odontoceti and is one of the most widely distributed species of cetaceans. Within this species it is possible to find strict resident populations, semi-resident populations or transient communities. The Cardigan Bay bottlenose dolphin population is one of the two semi-resident populations in the United Kingdom. With the increasing anthropogenic disturbance, particularly significant for cetacea

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the role architecture plays in both causing and ameliorating cycles of crime and punishment. To accomplish this task, the study combines an investigation of historical prison typologies, with an investigation into the philosophical and ethical questions surrounding the practice of imprisonment itself, as well as in depth sociological and criminological studies of the ways in which crime and incarceration affect the health of communities over time. It then employs the tools and conclusions of these studies to investigate the change over time
