A Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of the Elands Bay Area Using Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopes in Torotoise Bone
A paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Elands Bay area using carbon and nitrogen isotopes in tortoise bone.

This thesis is my own work. ii Abstract This study explores the utility of stable light isotopes in Chersina angulata (angulate or bowsprit tortoise) bone collagen as a paleoenvironmental proxy, to augment the limited range of proxies preserved in Southern Africa. δ13C and δ15N were measured in 76 archaeological tortoises from Elands Bay Cave and nearby Tortoise Cave. The samples range in age from the late Holocene to the terminal Pleistocene. δ15N values are not strongly correlated with δ13C, indicating different drivers of variation in the two isotopes. δ13C and δ15N values are lower between 154-487 cal. BP, which spans the Little Ice Age, compared with 744-1 042 cal. -

Lamberts Bay Area Plan 2017-2022
LAMBERTS BAY AREA PLAN 2017-2022 1 MESSAGE FROM WARD COUNCILLOR South Africa as nation has held successful and peaceful local government elections on 03 August 2016. These elections were certified to have been free and fair to a large extent. This is clear demonstration of the growth of our young democracy. In accordance with the provisions of the laws that govern the affairs of the municipality, we have embarked upon a process of consultation with the local community with a view to present the IDP and Budget for the period 2017-2022. Chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 makes community participation in the affairs, programmes and activities of the municipality a legal obligation. The IDP is therefore the culmination of a lengthy process of consultation with the local community. Accordingly, this IDP carries the aspirations of the masses of our community which the 2017/18 Budget must seek to finance. Therefore, this IDP must be seen as a beacon of hope that will continue to guide us over the next financial year in our collective endeavours of building a better life for all our communities. Critical to this is the question of compliance with the laws of the Republic. For an example, before the end of May 2017 we must have presented to Council the final budget for the forthcoming financial year. In this regard, section 24 of the Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003 prescribes that “the final budget must be tabled 30 days before the start of the new financial year. “We remain committed to the realization of the 5 National Key Performance Areas of municipalities, being the following: Good Governance and Public Participation Municipal Transformation and Organisational Development Basic Infrastructure and Service Delivery Local Economic Development Municipal Financial Viability and Management This IDP together with its projects and implementation focus relates strongly to the capital budget. -
Hopefield Private Nature Reserve Management Plan – August 2019
HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN – AUGUST 2019 HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN The acid sands of marine origins and the Malmesbury shales of the Swartland meet at Hopefield. Here, the interplay of soil types and water permeability of these substrates as well as the climatic influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean leads to unique habitats and many seasonal wetlands. Thus, the area has many interesting endemic and threatened plant taxa and it is no surprise that Hopefield is now renowned for its annual flower show which is run by a passionate and knowledgeable group of local volunteers (Maree and Vromans 2010).

PALAEONTOLOGICAL SPECIALIST STUDY: DESKTOP ASSESSMENT Proposed Maskam limestone mine near Vanrhynsdorp, Matzikama Municipality, Western Cape Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cape Lime (Pty) Ltd, Vredendal, is proposing to develop a high grade limestone mine on the Remainder of the farm Welverdiend 511, some 8 km SSW of Vanrhynsdorp in the Matsikama Municipality, Western Cape Province. No processing plant will be located on site and all excavated limestone material will be transported to the applicant’s existing plant at their Vredendal site some 12 km away. The study area is largely mantled by a range of Late Caenozoic superficial deposits (wind-blown sands, soils, alluvium) that are up to 2m thick and all of low palaeontological sensitivity. The underlying Late Precambrian bedrocks of the Gifberg Group, notably the carbonate target rocks of the Widouw Formation, are metamorphosed, recrysallised and highly deformed, and hence unlikely to contain any fossils. The overall impact significance of the proposed mining development is inferred to be LOW because most of the study area is mantled by superficial sediments of low palaeontological sensitivity and the Precambrian bedrocks are almost certainly unfossiliferous. No further specialist studies or mitigation regarding fossil heritage are considered necessary for this project. Should substantial fossil remains (e.g. vertebrate teeth, bones, petrified wood, stromatolites, shells, trace fossils) be exposed during mining, however, the ECO should safeguard these, preferably in situ, and alert Heritage Western Cape as soon as possible so that appropriate action (e.g. -

View of Vredendal North, 2.5kms away Layout pattern • Vredendal comprises three distinct components: - Vredendal South, the original settlement, located at a crossing point over the Olifants River and situated on fertile land in the flood plain. It is hemmed in on all sides by highly productive agricultural land watered by the irrigation system; - Across the river raised above Vredendal South on a low plateau is Vredendal North, a large apartheid dormitory area inhabited by the town’s Coloured and Black people; and - Between the two, at the junction of the R362 to Lutzville and R27 to Vanrhynsdorp and Klawer are the rail station and an industrial and civic area. -
