Population trends of seabirds breeding in South Africa’s Eastern Cape and the possible influence of anthropogenic and environmental change. Marine Ornithology 37: 159–174. Eleven species of seabird breed in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. Numbers of African Penguin Spheniscus demersus and Cape Gannet Morus capensis in the province increased in the 20th century, but penguins decreased in the early 21st century. A recent eastward displacement of Sardine Sardinops sagax off South Africa increased the availability of this food source to gannets but did not benefit penguins, which have a shorter foraging range. Fishing and harbour developments may have influenced the recent decrease of penguins.

  • Palaeontological Impact Assessment: Desktop Study

    Palaeontological Impact Assessment: Desktop Study

    PALAEONTOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: DESKTOP STUDY Proposed construction of two filling stations adjacent to the N2, Zones 1 and 2 of the Coega IDZ, Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, Eastern Cape Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] April 2010 1. SUMMARY The two proposed filling station developments are located either side of the N2 in Zones 1 and 2 of the Coega IDZ, between St George’s Strand and Motherwell, Nelson Bay Municipality. Both development sites are underlain by limestone-rich shallow marine sediments of the Alexandria Formation (Algoa Group), with intermittent cover of pebbly residual weathering products (the so-called Bluewater Bay Formation). The Alexandria Formation has a high palaeontological sensitivity since it hosts a rich fossil marine biota of Miocene to Pliocene age that is dominated by molluscs and various other invertebrates, together with rare fish and (possibly) other vertebrate remains. Although much of the Alexandria Formation within the Coega IDZ has been altered by weathering and calcretization, seriously reducing its fossil content, the two filling station developments are situated close to an established fossil site (an abandoned limestone quarry) within this formation. Palaeontological mitigation is therefore recommended in both cases. Should thin sandstones and mudrocks of the Sundays River Formation beneath the Algoa Group limestone capping be exposed during deep excavations, these potentially fossil-rich sediments will also require palaeontological mitigation. Mitigation by a qualified palaeontologist should entail (a) the field examination of new excavations, (b) the recording of sedimentological and palaeontological data, (c) the judicious sampling of fossil material and (d) recommendations for any further action required to safeguard fossil heritage.

    ELECTRAWINDS - Belgium Seeks to Invests Over R1 Billion in Coega Wind Project

    Media Release UNTIL 11 SEPTEMBER 2009 ELECTRAWINDS - Belgium seeks to invests over R1 billion in Coega Wind Project Friday 11 September 2009 - Electrawinds Belgium today announced that it is finalising the feasibility in setting up a commercial wind farm which will be located in the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ). This investment will see Electrawinds invest R1.2 billion (Euro 110 Million) into a Coega Wind Farm Project producing green renewable energy. This will be one of the first private initiatives of its kind to take place in South Africa. This project will result in 25 wind turbines of 2.3 MW each being built in the Coega IDZ and is anticipated to be fully operation by 2011. In addition, Electrawinds will offer educational scholarships to top local students who are interested in furthering their studies in renewable energy. “Electrawinds and the CDC are not only leading the way in creating sustainable and environmentally friendly wind generated power but we are also ensuring the future development of the Eastern Cape with this scholarship programme,” said Khwezi Tiya, Executive Manager of Business Development at the CDC. ELECTRAWINDS, Belgium’s foremost renewable energy producer, is committed to build the first commercial wind farm in South Africa, with the first phase commencing and having the first turbine in place by May 2010 before the 2010 World Cup with green energy powering the Nelson Mandela Stadium. More /... Coega wind two “This project is a double celebration. It marks Electrawinds’ first turbine on African soil and COEGA’s establishment of its first commercial wind farm in one go” said Tiya.

    Algoa Bay Management Plan

    ALGOA BAY MANAGEMENT PLAN Vision Algoa Bay is a multi-use coastal zone that requires a proactive and practical management plan based on scientific integrity and stakeholder participation to ensure future sustainable development Prepared by: CLABBS Consortium c/o 36 River Road, Walmer, Port Elizabeth 6070 Tel: 041 581 2983 Fax: 041 581 2983 Email : [email protected] For: African Environmental Solutions P.O. Box 53577 Kenilworth 7745 The contributors cannot be held responsible for any damages whatsoever (including without limitation, damages for loss of trade or business profits, business interruption or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the adoption of any scientific advice or recommended guidelines in this management plan DECEMBER 1999 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Algoa Bay is a multi-use coastal zone with a variety of interest groups. Threats to and impacts on the environment will therefore affect both the commercial and the recreational interests in the area. This report outlines the rationale towards, and the development of, a management plan for Algoa Bay, for the marine environment below the spring high-water mark between Cape Recife and Woody Cape. The Algoa Bay Management Plan is a holistic document, drawing on previous environmental studies and has aimed to consolidate the ideas of all interested and affected parties. The plan has built on some previous public participation during previous environmental studies and has included some further consultation with management authorities locally and nationally (Port Elizabeth Municipality, University of Port Elizabeth, Portnet, Coega IA, Bay World and MCM). The development of the plan has defined critical issues and concentrated on these.
