  • A Review of the Species of Psammophis Boie Found South of Latitude 12° S (Serpentes: Psammophiinae)
    African Journal of Herpetology, 2002 51(2): 83-119. Original article A review of the species of Psammophis Boie found south of Latitude 12° S (Serpentes: Psammophiinae) DONALD G. BROADLEY Research Associate, Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo Present address: Biodiversity Foundation for Africa,P.O. Box FM 730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe [email protected] Abstract.—The status, relationships and zoogeography of the 14 taxa of Psammophis found south of Latitude 12° S are reviewed and the following taxonomic changes are proposed: 1. Psammophis trinasalis and P. namibensis, previously treated as subspecies of P. leightoni, are recognised as good evolutionary species which show ecological differences. 2. Psammophis orientalis, previously regarded as a subspecies of P. subtaeniatus, differs from the lat- ter in a suite of characters and is parapatric with it in Zimbabwe, so it is now recognised as an evolu- tionary species. 3. Psammophis brevirostris and P. leopardinus, previously regarded as subspecies of P. sibilans (Linnaeus), are recognised as relict evolutionary species. The Zambian populations previously assigned to P. leopardinus have been described as a new species (Hughes & Wade, in press). Key words.—Psammophis, morphology, taxonomy, zoogeography, southern Africa ince the last review of the genus mossambicus has subsequently been applied to SPsammophis in southern Africa (Broadley this eastern sister taxon of P. phillipsii 1977), a revision of the whole genus was the (Hallowell) by Branch (1998) and Hughes subject of a thesis by Frank Brandstätter (1999).

The project resource area lies approximately 160 km south of Walvis Bay. The resource area includes a major part of the regionally mapped zone of phosphate mineralisation that occurs on the continental shelf south of Walvis Bay. The intention is to mine these deposits using proven deep water dredging techniques. The material will be transferred to shore at Walvis Bay where minimal beneficiation is required to separate the phosphate sands from other marine sediments. Locality of the marine phosphate deposit off the Namibian coast. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) which is required for this project in terms of Namibia’s Environmental Management Act (2007) and Minerals Act (2002) for the marine and land-based activities are currently underway.

    NATURAL RADIOACTIVITY IN SOILS OF THE WALVIS BAY – HENTIES BAY COASTAL AREA, NAMIBIA. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA BY SIMON ANDREW SHIMBOYO JANUARY 2013 Supervisor: Professor James Akindele Oyedele (University of Namibia) ii ABSTRACT Naturally occurring radionuclides such as 238U, 232Th and 40K are present in the soil where they disintegrate spontaneously releasing ionizing radiation which could pose health hazards to the inhabitants of a given location especially when the concentrations of the radionuclides are high. In Namibia, the Walvis Bay – Henties Bay coastal area is known to have many mineral resources including uranium and therefore the concentrations of the radionuclides in the soils and the associated radioactivity may be high in some towns in the area. It is therefore important to study the concentrations of radionuclides and the radioactivity in the soils of the major towns in the area. In this study, the concentrations of the radionuclides 238U, 232Th and 40K and their progeny, and their contribution to natural radioactivity in the soils of six major towns in the Walvis Bay – Henties Bay coastal area have been determined. These towns are Usakos, Arandis, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Wlotzkasbaken and Henties Bay. A total of 305 soil samples were collected across the six towns and dried under laboratory temperature for 72 hours. These samples were pulverised and passed through a 2 mm mesh screen and sealed in 500 ml polythene bottles. The specific activities of the radionuclides 238U, 232Th and 40K in the samples were subsequently analysed using a well-shielded high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector.

Cape Published by the University ofof Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .. This dissertation forms part of a process which began when DANCED initiated the first stages of a project aimed at aiding the Namibian Government in the development of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management _Plan for the coastline of the Erongo Region. DANCED requested the assistance of the l'vlPhil students, from the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science of the University of Cape Town, in the compilation of a baseline report for the region. The first step involved the collection and synthesis of baseline data on all environmental factors (natural and social) pertaining to the Erongo Region. This was followed by individual research dissertations by each member of the class. Mter review of the Baseline Report, the greater Walvis Bay 'bay area' was identified as a priority area in terms of coastal zone management of the Erongo Region. The aim of this dissertation is thus to provide an environmental overview of the Walvis Bay 'bay area' that can assist planners and relevant authorities in the effective management the area.

  • Cape Cross Salt Mining
    ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ON EXCLUSIVE PROSPECTING LICENCE EPL4185 AT WLOTZKASBAKEN January 2013 Prepared by: Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd Gecko House 8 Sinclair Road Windhoek, Namibia Reviewed by: Nam Enviro Management and Training Services cc Mutjinde Katjiua SUMMARY Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd, in the name of its subsidiary Gecko Salt (Pty) Ltd holds EPL4185 which covers 75,335 hectares of coastal desert plains from north of Swakopmund to just south of the Henties Bay peri-urban area. Gecko intends to establish the “Vision Industrial Park” and harbour within the area. The development will require a large amount of fine and coarse aggregate material as well as armour stone for the construction of a breakwater facility. Besides the envisaged VIP development, Gecko is in the process of exploring a number of high-grade marble occurrences on this EPL. As part of the EPL4185 falls within the Dorob National Park, Gecko is submitting this EIA together with Environmental Questionnaires and other prescribed documentation in application for an Environmental Clearance Certificate under the Environmental Management Act of 2007. The company has drawn up an Environmental Management Plan for the prospecting operations and is currently in the process of implementing those measures. Management and exterior control on the adherence of the proposed mitigation actions are considered important tools in preventing negative environmental impacts from the operations. Activities during the exploration phase include sampling, testing and exploratory drilling. The activities are temporary and are conducted at a small scale than those at the drilling/development, production, and decommissioning/reclamation phases.
