The EMPR is based on the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the development of the Kudu gas field (CSIR Report ENV-S-C 2004-066, December 2004 plus Addendum, December 2005). The EMPR includes an updated description of the project reflecting the finally selected design and a re-assessment of the resulting environmental impacts. The EMPR includes: An overview of the project and various component activities which may have an impact on the environment; A qualitative assessment of the various project actions on the marine and coastal environment of southern Namibia; A management plan to guide the implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the EIA. The format of the EMPR is modelled on the South African Department of Minerals and Energy’s Guidelines for the preparation of Environmental Management Programme Reports for prospecting for and exploitation of oil and gas in the marine environment, Pretoria 1996.

  • A Suggested Blueprint for the Development of Maritime Archaeological Research in Namibia Bruno E.J.S
    Journal of Namibian Studies, 2 (2007): 103–121 ISSN: 1863-5954 A suggested blueprint for the development of maritime archaeological research in Namibia Bruno E.J.S. Werz Abstract During the last few decades, maritime archaeology has developed into an internationally accepted field of specialisation within the discipline of archaeology. It has, however, only gained academic recognition in Southern Africa since the late 1980s, when a lecturing post for maritime archaeology was established at the University of Cape Town. This resulted in initial efforts being focused on South Africa. Now, however, the time has come to expand the development of maritime archaeology to neighbouring countries. Due to various positive factors – including the presence of an important research potential as well as growing interest and positive contributions by some organisations and private individuals – Namibia provides a fertile ground to extend the field of operations. This article first summarises the objectives and methodology of maritime archaeological research in general; then it offers suggestions as to how to establish this research specialisation in Namibia, bearing in mind local circumstances. What is Maritime Archaeology? Maritime archaeology developed by means of an evolutionary process from underwater salvage, treasure hunting, the collecting of antiquities and the kind of archaeological work that was done until the early twentieth century. During the 1960s, the field became an area of specialisation within the discipline of archaeology. This period saw a growing involvement of professional archaeologists, the rudimentary development of research designs, the improvement of diving equipment, and the application of techniques that facilitated work in an underwater environment. The initial emphasis, however, was on the latter.1 As a result, the field did not obtain widespread support from its terrestrial counterparts, where efforts were generally directed at solving specific research problems.

    Journal of Ecology & Natural Resources ISSN: 2578-4994 Study of Heavy Metals contamination in Mangrove Sediments of the Red Sea Coast of Yemen from Al-Salif to Bab-el-Mandeb Strait Al Hagibi HA*, Al-Selwi KM, Nagi HM and Al-Shwafi NA Research Article Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Sana'a University, Yemen Volume 2 Issue 1 *Corresponding author: Hagib A Al-Hagibi, Department of Earth and Environmental Received Date: January 28, 2018 Sciences, Faculty of Science, Sana'a University, Yemen, Tel: 00967777322298; Email: Published Date: February 20, 2018 [email protected] DOI: 10.23880/jenr-16000121 Abstract This research aimed to estimate the concentration of Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Mn, Mg and Fe in the sediments of mangrove habitats located in the Yemeni from Al-Salif to Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. Samples were collected seasonally at five locations: Al-Salif, Al-Urj, Al-Hodeidah, Yakhtol and Ghorairah, during the months of January, April, August and October 2013, which are chosen to represent the four seasons of a full year. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy techniques were used to determine heavy metals concentration in the samples, which extracted using Acid digestion methods. The results showed that Heavy metals concentration (µg/g) in mangrove sediments were in the following order: Fe (8,432.0- 15,255.2) > Mg (915.2-2,066.0) > Mn (195.8-528.0) > Zn (27.5-57.2) > Cu (12.3-40.7) > Ni (15.5-34.7) > Cr (15.3-35.6) > Pb (6.2-16.6) > Co (6.2-15.8) > Cd (ND-0.57).
