Although we have a band of loyal helpers at present, the more events we do, the chance is that many of these volunteers will be unable to help. It is proposed that we recruit some new members to help out. If you are interested, please contact John Rayment.

  • Current Guidelines and Regulations for Whale
    A REVIEW OF WHALE WATCH GUIDELINES AND REGULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD VERSION 2009 Carole Carlson Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, Provincetown, MA. USA College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbour, Maine USA GUIDELINES FOR COMMERCIAL CETACEAN-WATCHING ACTIVITIES IN THE ACCOBAMS AREA Point 1 Scope of the Guidelines The ACCOBAMS Guidelines presented here address those cetacean-watching activities carried out for commercial purposes and subject to the jurisdiction of the Parties to ACCOBAMS. The Guidelines relate to all marine activities where funds are being generated from whale or dolphin watching and this may include research activities that have a commercial component 1. They are intended to serve as a framework for the development of more detailed guidelines by national and regional authorities 2 at a local level. The ACCOBAMS Guidelines should be used to identify what issues need to be addressed and how this may be appropriately done. Variations on this framework will be required to cater for different species 3, different geographical considerations and differences in other human activities within the area where whale watching is occurring or planned to occur. 1 This is one issue where the appropriate authorities should decide the scope of activities to be included within the guidelines. The options are a. All marine activities that include whale or dolphin watching as a means of raising funds, including all commercial and research activities; or b. All marine activities that include whale or dolphin watching as a means of raising funds, including all commercial activities but excluding primarily research activities, which should be separately licensed, perhaps by a special permit system.

  • Cadet Dinghy
    Cadet Dinghy “Viking” Appendix 2 THE CADET SQUADRON In the early 1930's, Cadet Members of the R.G.Y.C. competed in a conglomeration of small craft. Ern Armstrong recalls that when he joined the club in 1933, the cadet section was comprised of the 12 foot cadets, "Firey Cross", owned and sailed by John Boocock, on which Ern sailed for the last three races of the season and "Viking", owned by Tal and Jim Searle, "Tasma", a flat-bottomed ,low wooded hull approximately 14feet long, owned by the Club, "Teddy bear", a half-decked rather heavy boat owned by Geoff Wood, and "Westra", a semi-decked 12 foot cadet, owned by the McAllisters. At that time the boat storage shed was approximately 40 feet by 30 feet fronting the roadway outside the club opposite Transvaal Square, about in line with the eastern end of the present Junior Squadron clubhouse. In about 1935, two 14 foot boats were added to the fleet. These were "Mulluka", owned by Chick Fleet Snr., and sailed by Jim Ritchie and "NV", a 14footer with narrow beam and a high aspect mainsail built and skippered by Norm Wray. And two more 12 foot cadet dinghies were also added to the fleet, "Caress", built and skippered by Bob Curnow and "Dolphin ", owned and skippered by Wally Wiggs. About this time the Cadet section acquired half of the Sea Scout's shed owned by Mr. Ev Hurst, now the tender dinghy storage shed. This move avoided the long lift from the original shed on the roadway.

  • AQUATIC NUISANCE SPECIES in BALLAST WATER DISCHARGES: Issues and Options
    AQUATIC NUISANCE SPECIES IN BALLAST WATER DISCHARGES: Issues and Options DRAFT REPORT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT September 10, 2001 Prepared by: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds Office of Wastewater Management Washington, DC PREFACE This draft report, Aquatic Nuisance Species in Ballast Water Discharges: Issues and Options was prepared in response to a petition the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received on January 13, 1999, from the Pacific Environmental Advocacy Center. The petition was filed on behalf of fifteen nongovernmental and State and Tribal governmental organizations. The petition asked that EPA eliminate a regulatory exemption that currently prevents ballast water discharges from vessels from needing permits under EPA’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. The petition was closely followed by a letter from eighteen members of Congress, requesting that EPA examine whether the Clean Water Act can be used to provide effective regulation of aquatic nuisance species in vessel ballast water. In response to the petition, Congress’s inquiry, and the growing national concern about aquatic nuisance species introductions, former Assistant Administrator for Water J. Charles Fox directed Office of Water staff to research the issue of aquatic nuisance species in ballast water discharges, and report back what mechanisms are available under the Clean Water Act or other relevant statutes or programs to effectively control the introduction of aquatic nuisance species through ballast water. EPA is seeking public comment on this draft report, and will finalize the report, taking into account public comments received. If you have information or comments, please email them to [email protected], or mail them to: Marine Pollution Control Branch, ATTN: Ballast Water, US Environmental Protection Agency (4504F), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 20460.

  • Portsmouth Number List 2016
    Portsmouth Number List 2016 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received from the PY Online website (www.pys.org.uk). Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary.
