Warning, this vessel changes names and flags as fast as the wind shifts direction. The last known flags are Cambodia, Namibia and Si- erra Leone. As all vessels involved in transshipment of Illegal Unreported and Unregulated fishing (IUU) she is in a very bad state with large tires on both sides of the hull serving as fenders. The last known port of call was Busan – South Korea, June 3. The Stellar docked in Vigo in Spain under the name Glo- ria Brasil under Namibian flag.

Following the illegal depart from Cape Town in South Africa on December 29, 2013, she had most probably changed name, flag and even IMO number. Fishing gear: tuna drifting longline. This vessel is a risk of pollution to the marine and coastal environments. It is possible that the last operator scuttled the ves- sel to avoid investigations. Samudera Pasific n°8 © Interpol The Samudera Pasific n°8 made its get away from Cape Town at the same time as the Berkat Menjala n°23. These fishing vessels were under sequestra- tion in the South African port. They belong to a group of 10 longliner tuna fishing vessels whose last known owner is established in Indonesia. They take part in IUU fishing on the high seas and in the Exclusive Economic Zone of South Africa. The 75 crew members, mostly of Taiwanese and Indone- sian origin, were virtually slaves. Some of them have not been paid for 3-5 years.

The term “precious coral” refers to about 30 species belonging to the genus Corallium and Paracoral- lium.

  • Social Justice in South Africa Justiça Social Na África Do Sul Jayanathan Govender*
    http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/1984-7289.2016.2.23076 Dossiê: Desigualdades, estratificação e justiça social Social justice in South Africa Justiça social na África do Sul Jayanathan Govender* Abstract: South Africa is the world’s most unequal country. Poverty and inequality, exacerbated by unemployment are the country’s foremost challenges. The present government has made significant progress regarding the provision of basic services and broadening the social wage. However, the unfortunate reality is that inequality grew since the advent of democracy over twenty years ago. This development runs contrary to the commitments of the South African Constitution and social policy provisions, thereby raising more serious questions of rights and social justice. The continuity, depth and breadth of inequality, including the extraordinary financial and social costs is linked to the legacy of apartheid. Inequality is structurally embedded spatially and economically. Crucially, inequality is also a function of access to opportunities and human development outcomes. The paper attempts a theoretical discussion of the relationship between inequality, poverty and unemployment, which requires greater input; identifies some barriers to transformation; and presents tentative approaches towards lowering inequality. Keywords: Social justice. Inequality. Unemployment. Development. Policy. Resumo: A África do Sul é o país mais desigual do mundo. A pobreza e a desigualdade, agravadas pelo desemprego, são os desafios mais importante do país. O atual governo tem feito progressos significativos em relação à prestação de serviços básicos e ampliação dos benefícios sociais. No entanto, a triste realidade é que a desigualdade cresceu desde o advento da democracia, mais de vinte anos atrás. Esta evolução é contrária aos compromissos da Constituição Sul-Africana e a provisão de políticas sociais, tornando assim mais graves as questões de direitos e justiça social.

Wayanad, consisting of the forests under the administrative control of North Wayanad, South Wayanad and Wayanad wildlife forest divisions constitute a major portion of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. This also forms part of the Elephant Reserve No.7 comprising elephant habitats in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The area has southern moist mixed deciduous; west cost semi evergreen and southern dry mixed deciduous forests. A portion of the natural forests is converted to plantations of teak and eucalypts. The area could he divided into three regions based on contiguity. The area is rich in fauna with representation of all Peninsular Indian mammals. The characteristic feature of the study area is the large number of settlements scattered in the form of a mosaic where cultivation is practiced.
