  • Summer and Winter Differences in Zooplankton Biomass

    Summer and Winter Differences in Zooplankton Biomass

    Pretorius, M. et al. (2016). Summer and winter differences in zooplankton biomass, distribution and size composition in the KwaZulu-Natal Bight, South Africa African Journal of Marine Science, 38: S155-S168 https://doi.org/10.2989/1814232X.2016.1144650 Summer and winter differences in zooplankton biomass, distribution and size composition in the KwaZulu-Natal Bight, South Africa M. Pretorius, J.A. Huggett and M.J. Gibbons Abstract Zooplankton biomass and distribution in the KwaZulu-Natal Bight were investigated in relation to environmental parameters during summer (January–February 2010) and winter (July–August 2010). Mean zooplankton biomass was significantly higher in winter (17.1 mg dry weight [DW] m–3) than in summer (9.5 mg DW m−3). In summer, total biomass was evenly distributed within the central bight, low off the Thukela River mouth and peaked near Durban. In winter, highest biomass was found offshore between Richards Bay and Cape St Lucia. Zooplankton biomass in each size class was significantly, negatively related to sea surface temperature and integrated nitrate, but positively related to surface chlorophyll a and dissolved oxygen. Zooplankton biomass was significantly related to bottom depth, with greatest total biomass located inshore (<50 m). Distribution across the shelf varied with zooplankton size. Seasonal differences in copepod size composition suggest that a smaller, younger community occupied the cool, chlorophyll-rich waters offshore from the St Lucia upwelling cell in winter, and a larger, older community occurred within the relatively warm and chlorophyll-poor central bight in summer. Nutrient enrichment from quasi-permanent upwelling off Durban and Richards Bay appears to have a greater influence on zooplankton biomass and distribution in the bight than the strongly seasonal nutrient input from the Thukela River.

  • The Real Killers of the Sea?

    The Real Killers of the Sea?

    SHARK NETS the real killers of the sea? Back in the late 1950s, South Africa’s popular east coast was rocked to the core when no fewer than five people were bitten by sharks in a matter of days. Mass panic ensued and holidaymakers fled, leaving resort towns deserted and financially ruined. In response to the public outcry, shark nets were installed along much of the KwaZulu- Natal coastline, where many remain to this day. Shark bite figures plummeted and everyone was happy… except, of course, for the sharks and the multitude of other animals that are killed every year. Photojournalist and marine biologist Thomas P. Peschak investigated the true cost of lethal bather-protection methods and asks, ‘Are shark nets really still necessary?’ TEXT & PHOTOGRAPHS THOMAS P. PESCHAK/SAVE OUR SEAS FOUNDATION WWW.AFRICAGEOGRAPHIC.COM 39 40 AFRICA GEOGRAPHIC • MAY 2009 THIS SPREAD Populations of great ham- merhead sharks are declining worldwide and South Africa is no exception.

    Reducing the Environmental Impact of Shark-Control Programs: a Case Study from Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa

    CSIRO PUBLISHING Marine and Freshwater Research, 2011, 62, 700–709 www.publish.csiro.au/journals/mfr Reducing the environmental impact of shark-control programs: a case study from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa Geremy CliffA,B,C and Sheldon F. J. DudleyA,B AKwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board, Private Bag 2, Umhlanga 4320, South Africa. BBiomedical Resource Unit, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Large-scale shark-control programs at popular beaches in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, provide protection against shark attack. Although these programs have enhanced bathing safety, reducing the environmental impacts of decades of fishing for large sharks and the associated by-catch remains a challenge. Over the past three decades, there have been several interventions to reduce such impact in the KZN program. The first was the release of all live sharks, including those species known to be responsible for fatal shark attacks. Measures to reduce catches of sharks associated with the winter influx of shoals of sardines, Sardinops sagax, have been increasingly successful. In addition, extensive removal of nets has resulted in a major reduction in effort. Collectively, these initiatives reduced mortalities of sharks by 64%. Baited lines, termed drumlines, were introduced at 18 beaches, where they replaced some of the nets. The former had a far lower by-catch of rays, turtles and cetaceans and significantly lower catches of certain shark species. Replacement of some nets with drumlines is planned for the remaining beaches. Only two attacks, both non-fatal, have occurred at protected beaches in KZN over the past three decades, indicating that the program has maintained its public safety mandate while it has succeeded in reducing its impact on the environment.

    5.4 South Coast System 5.4.1 Description

    5.4 South Coast System 5.4.1 Description The South Coast System comprises three sub-regions, viz. The Upper South Coast, which extends from Amanzimtoti to the uMkhomazi River; The Middle South Coast, which extends from the Mkomazi River to the Mtwalume River (just north of Hibberdene); and The Lower South Coast, which extends from the Mtwalume River to the Mtamvuna River (Port Edward). As shown in Figure 5.35, the Upper South Coast is located in eThekwini District Municipality, the Middle South Coast in the southern-most portion of eThekwini District Municipality and Umdoni Municipality, and the Lower South Coast in the southern-most portion of Umdoni Muncipality, Umzumbe Municipality and Hibiscus Coast Municipality. The predominant land use within the eThekwini portion of the South Coast System is residential (existing residential is shown in pale yellow and rural residential is shown in pale orange) with the predominant proposed land use being residential as well (yellow). Within Ugu District Municipality, the “formal urban land use” (shown in grey) is the major land use along the coastal strip with rural settlements (shown in orange and the lighter shades of brown) occurring in the hinterland. Water consumption is therefore primarily for domestic and commercial use. Ugu’s 2011 Spatial Development Framework identifies six industrial nodes viz. Margate Airport Industrial, Izotsha Industrial, Umzumbe Industrial, Umdoni Industrial, Park Rynie Industrial and Marburg Industrial which will further increase water consumption along the coastal strip. It is shown that proposed developments are still positioned predominantly along the coastal strip with the common land use being residential.
