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 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. -

7. Impofu Grid Connection Rev Paleontology Report.Pdf
1 PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE: COMBINED DESKTOP & FIELD-BASED BASIC ASSESSMENT Grid connection for the proposed Impofu North, Impofu West & Impofu East Wind Farms near Humansdorp, Eastern Cape John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The present report provides a palaeontological heritage Basic Assessment of the proposed Impofu grid connection. This includes (a) the approximately 120 km-long, 2 km-wide 132 kV grid connection corridor between the proposed Impofu North, Impofu West and Impofu East Wind Farms and the national grid in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) near Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. Potential impacts of the proposed new Impofu collector switching station, wind farm switching stations and short 132 kV transmission lines linking them to the collector switching station as well as of substation extension areas are also considered. The report is based on a combined desktop and field-based study of the preferred grid connection corridor, incorporating a 2 km wide zone, with a special focus on areas underlain by potentially fossiliferous bedrocks. The grid connection study area is underlain by several formations of potentially fossiliferous sediments of the Gamtoos Group, Cape Supergroup, Uitenhage Group and Algoa Group (Sections 6 & 7, Table 1). However, on the southern coastal platform most of the fossils originally preserved in these bedrocks appear to have been destroyed by tectonic deformation and deep chemical weathering. The overlying Late Caenozoic superficial sediments such as alluvium, soils and ferricretes, are likewise of low palaeontological sensitivity. Relict patches of Plio-Pleistocene aeolianites (wind-blown sands) of the Nanaga Formation (Algoa Group) present in the subsurface on the interior coastal platform contain Early Stone Age artefacts but any associated fossils such as mammalian remains, or terrestrial gastropods have probably been destroyed by weathering here. -
