Phytoplankton Composition at Jeddah Coast–Red Sea, Saudi Arabia in Relation to Some Ecological Factors
JKAU: Sci., Vol. 22 No. 1, pp: 115-131 (2010 A.D. / 1431 A.H.); DOI: 10.4197 / Sci. 22-1.9 Phytoplankton Composition at Jeddah Coast–Red Sea, Saudi Arabia in Relation to some Ecological Factors Hussein E.

Abstract. Phytoplankton succession in relation to some physico- chemical characters of some water bodies at Jeddah Coast (Saudi Arabia) was studied for one year (2004). The sampling program included four different areas, North Obhour, Technology area, Down Town area and South Jeddah Area. Water samples were analyzed for some physico-chemical parameters (Temperature, pH, S‰, Dissolved +2 +2 Oxygen (DO), Calcium (Ca ) & Magnesium (Mg ), Nitrite (NO2), Nitrate (NO3), Ammonia (NH3), Reactive Orthophosphate (PO4) and Reactive Silicate (SiO3) as well as phycological parameters (Phytoplankton communities and Chlorophyll a). The Jeddah Coast was found to be oligotrophic ecosystem in some areas, while some of these areas were mesotrophic with high phytoplankton density such as the Down Town and South Jeddah areas. The results showed that, the high phytoplankton density attaining the maximum of 2623.2 X 103/m3 at Down Town area during spring and the minimum of 118.7 X 103/m3 at Technology area during winter. Seventy three species belonging to 73 genera and 5 groups were recorded. Dinophyceae was the first dominant group forming 43.8% of the total phytoplankton communities followed by Bacillariophyceae 27.9%. -

Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022
Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022 THIRD AMENDMENT 28 MAY 2020 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2017-2022 Compiled in terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) Amendments approved by the Municipal Council on 28 May 2020 The Integrated Development Plan is the Municipality’s principal five year strategic plan that deals with the most critical development needs of the municipal area (external focus) as well as the most critical governance needs of the organisation (internal focus). The Integrated Development Plan – is adopted by the council within one year after a municipal election and remains in force for the council’s elected term (a period of five years); is drafted and reviewed annually in consultation with the local community as well as interested organs of state and other role players; guides and informs all planning and development, and all decisions with regard to planning, management and development; forms the framework and basis for the municipality’s medium term expenditure framework, annual budgets and performance management system; and seeks to promote integration by balancing the economic, ecological and social pillars of sustainability without compromising the institutional capacity required in the implementation, and by coordinating actions across sectors and spheres of government. AREA PLANS FOR 2020/2021 The five area plans, i.e. Swartland North (Moorreesburg and Koringberg), Swartland East (Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel), Swartland West (Darling and Yzerfontein), Swartland South (Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal) and Swartland Central (Malmesbury) help to ensure that the IDP is more targeted and relevant to addressing the priorities of all groups, including the most vulnerable. -
Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape
Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape WESTERN CAPE SPATIAL INFORMATION FORUM 14 November 2013 Growth Potential Study (GPS) of Towns IN A NUTSHELL PURPOSE? Purpose of the GPS is not to identify where growth (e.g. economic, population and physical) should occur, but rather where it is likely to occur (in the absence of significant interventions). HOW? Use quantitative data (measurements) to model the growth preconditions and innovation potential.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage. -

Hotels: Trading Statistics
Statistical release P6441 Hotels: trading statistics November 2001 Co-operation between Statistics South Africa Embargo: 13:00 (Stats SA), the citizens of the country, the private sector and government institutions is essential Date: 17 January 2002 for a successful statistical system. Without continued co-operation and goodwill, the timely release of relevant and reliable official statistics will not be possible. Stats SA publishes approximately three hundred different releases each year. It is not economically viable to produce them in more than one of South Africa’s eleven official languages. Since the releases are used extensively, not only locally, but also by international economic and social-scientific communities, Stats SA releases are published in English only. 1 P6441 Key figures for the month ended November 2001 Actual estimates % change % change % change between between November November between September 2000 to January 2000 to 2000 2001 November 2000 November 2000 November 2000 and and and November 2001 September 2001 to January 2001 to November 2001 November 2001 Room occupancy rate (%) 57,8 59,5 2,9 0,9 1,1 Bed occupancy rate (%) 37,9 38,9 2,6 0,8 0,6 Hotel income (R million) 504,1 524,2 4,0 1,7 2,2 Key findings for the month ended November 2001 The room occupancy rate and the bed occupancy rate of hotels in South Africa for November 2001 increased by 2,9% and 2,6% respectively, compared with November 2000.

I Town TO MY PARENTS RAY, JOHN AND GWENNIECape of University II ABSTRACT This thesis describes the fish remains recovered from a number of sites in three different localities in South Africa; Elands Bay and Langebaan Lagoon on the west coast, and False Bay on the Cape Peninsula. Chapter One is an introductory account of ichthyology, its usefulness in archaeological research and the range of analytical work done in South Africa, whilst Chapter Two is an attempt to show the history and development of the study of fish bones recovered from prehistoric sites in South Africa. Chapter Three gives an account of the southernTown Oceans, the Benguela Current and fishing habitats. Chapters Four and Five give accounts of the fishing habitats within the Elands Bay area and of the identification and interpretation of fish assemblages excavatedCape at four sites and their implications in relation to habitat and palaeoenvironmental changes at Elands Bay.
