  • Mid-Atlantic Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study
    New Jersey MID-ATLANTIC COASTAL AND OCEAN RECREATION STUDY The Surfrider Foundation, in partnership with Point 97, The Nature Conservancy, and Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute, (the Team), and in collaboration with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO), conducted a Coastal and Ocean Recreation Study (Study) for the Mid-Atlantic region in 2013-2014. The Study engaged recreational users and the public in providing data on “non-consumptive” recreational use, including surfing, diving, kayaking, beach going, and wildlife viewing. This data was previously unavailable and fills a key gap in our understanding of coastal and ocean uses in New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic. METHODS The Team used a web-based survey accessible by mobile phones, tablets, or desktop/laptop computers to collect data from respondents on recreational use patterns, trip expenditures, and demographics. To obtain this data, the survey included a series of questions and an easy-to-use interactive mapping tool, where respondents could mark the places they went to recreate over the last year. The Team then analyzed the resulting spatial data to develop maps indicating intensity of use for recreational activities in the region (see map insert). To promote participation in the Study, the Team conducted outreach to over 300 recreational groups and businesses throughout the Mid- Atlantic region. In total, Mid-Atlantic respondents completed nearly 1,500 surveys resulting in over 22,000 unique data points. NEW JERSEY: STUDY FINDINGS Coastal and ocean recreation encompasses a popular and diverse group of activities in New Jersey (see graphic below) resulting in major economic and social benefits to coastal communities.

    News | Q1 | 2021 1 World Sailing News | Q1 | 2021 Presidential Welcome It is an honour to introduce you to the first edition of World Sailing News. Upon my election last November, I outlined my intention for World Sailing to communicate better with its Member National Authorities, Regional Associations, Class Associations, Committee members, and the hard-working volunteers that make our sport work, from the grassroots to the peak of performance. I hope that the introduction of these quarterly newsletters will help to achieve that. Open communication within our sport has always been important, but given the current climate, it is more crucial now than it has ever been. It is important that World Sailing takes the lead by sharing best practice, forming new ideas and creating inspiring content that touches all aspects of our sport. It is also vital that this material is well distributed across our community. It is a pity that we have not been able to meet face to face for so long, but I have enjoyed meeting and engaging with you directly and via our Regional Meetings. It is important that our dialogue works two ways so we can work together to grow the beautiful sport we all love. Quanhai Li President 2 World Sailing News | Q1 | 2021 CEO Welcome On one hand, it has been a At the 2020 Council Meeting, I made a pledge to improve very pleasant quarter for the our communication and engagement with our members, World Sailing community as and this new quarterly World Sailing News is part of that numerous sailing events have pledge.

  • IHCA Rules and Measurement Annual Report 2015
    IHCA Rules and Measurement Annual Report 2015 Another year has passed with several national and international Hansa Class events being conducted, including the Australian Hansa Class Championships, French Hansa Class Championships, New Zealand Hansa Class Championships, Italian Hansa Class Championships and European Hansa Class Championships; to name a few. At these events all boats were measured/inspected to ensure they comply with the Hansa Class rules. The Hansa Class rules are scrutinised and revised to ensure that the class remains competitive and equitable. With input from several Hansa delegates some suggestions have been forwarded to all NHCAs for discussion. The class rules are accessible on the Hansa Class web site (http://hansaclass.org/technical/). I urge all NHCA officials to impress on all sailors competing in any championship events to be compliant with the class rules. The World Hansa Championships are at Medemblik next year. Reports from the UK and Europe show that the class rules are being adhered to and met. There were only a couple of requests for additional equipment (RAE) received during the past 12 months. I hope all boats that require equipment assistance have been modified as per the RAEs. With respect to the Hansa Class rules, I believe the system in place for modifications is sound; it provides for proper overview and agreement by a number of Hansa delegates before approval is given. The competiveness of the sailors at major Hansa Class events has improved and the sailors are producing better performances from all Hansa dinghies, consequently some measurements/rules are being pushed to the limit.
