High Speed Crafts in the Canary Islands
numero 6 .qxp 27/03/2006 18:58 PÆgina 81 Journal of Maritime Research, Vol. II. No. 2, pp. 81-91, 2005 Copyright © 2005. SEECMAR Printed in Santander (Spain). All rights reserved ISSN: 1697-4840 HIGH SPEED CRAFTS IN THE CANARY ISLANDS M. C. Rodríguez1, E. García2 and A. Poleo3 ABSTRACT For the Canary Islands, the sea is a path of obligatory use and on whose depend- ence the economic development of the inhabitants of the Archipelago, has been based.The problems of inter-insular maritime transport has been, and continues to be, a constant and growing worry up to the present moment, given the almost zero cargo capacity of the aeroplanes that render their services in the islands. The boats that connect the islands have changed throughout the years, and these changes have been conditioned, in great part, by the special circumstances surrounding navigation in our waters: islands situated in open sea, exposed to all types of weather; particular meteorological conditions; swell; port infrastruc- tures, etc. These circumstances have made the islands be a true bank of trials for the main types of HSC: hydrofoils, air cushion vehicles, high-speed mono-hull crafts, SES, jet-foils and catamarans, all which have navigated and run different luck. Today, there are three companies operating high speed crafts in the islands: Fred Olsen with five big catamarans, Trasmediterránea with two jet-foils and Garajonay Express with two smaller catamarans. Key words: HSC, Marine Navigation, Navigation Evolution.

RIBES ** ABSTRACT: The present paper is a first addition to tbe preliminary cataloguo Jf the Heteropteru-fauna of the Canary Islands (HEISS & BAEZ.1990) and includes corrections, new taxonomic assignmcnts and further citations from literature and several new records. 29 species are reported as new to the Canarian fauna, but one species is a synonym (Geocoris pvbescens Jak. = G.timidus Put.) and 8 spccies are regarded as doubtíidspccies inquirenda which should be deleted from the list. This brings the total number of species known to date from Canary Islands to 333. Key words: Heteropteru, catalogue, new additions, Canary Islands RESUMEN: La presente aportación es una primera addenda al catálogo preliminar de los Heterópferos des las islas Canarias (HEISS & BAEZ, 1990). Incluye enmiendas, nuevos cambios taxonómicos, datos complementarios y numerosas citas inéditas. Todo ello se desglosa en cuatro secciones distintas dentro del segundo capítulo: referencias adicionales y cambios en la literatura, citas canarias nuevas, citas isleñas nuevas y specics inquirenda. De este acervo hay que entresacar 29 especies para incorporar a la fauna canaria, con relación a lar 3 13 inventariadas, pero una es una sinonimia (Geocoris pvbescem lak. = G.rimidus Put.) y 8 especies más se consideran dudosas, por lo que se eliminan de la lista, quedando pues un total de 333 especies que se estiman válidas. Toda la bibliografía es nueva. 1.1 N TRO D UC TI ON The publication of “A preliminary catalogue of the Heíeropíera of the Canary Islands” by HEISS & BAEZ (1990) as a compilation of the then available data from literature was an attempt to provide a kind of practica1 “check-list” without pretension of completeness. -

H. von Suchodoletz 1*, H. Oberhänsli 2, D. Faust 3, M. Fuchs 1, C. Blanchet 4, T. Goldhammer 5 and L. Zöller 1 1Geography Department, University of Bayreuth, Universitätsstrasse 30, D – 95440 Bayreuth, Germany 2Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches Geoforschungszentrum, Telegrafenberg, D – 14473 Potsdam, Germany 3Institute of Geography, Dresden University of Technology, D-01062 Dresden, Germany 4IFM-GEOMAR, Sedimentology, D – 24148 Kiel, Germany 5MARUM, University of Bremen, Department of Geosciences, Klagenfurter Str. 1, D – 28359 Bremen Abstract: An overall Holocene increase of Saharan dust input to the Canary Islands and to the North Canary Basin is accompanied by a strong coarsening of Saharan dust in loess-like sediments deposited on Lanzarote from ~7–8 ka. No similar coarsening events are indicated in investigations of the sedimentological record for the last 180 ka, a period showing several dramatic climate changes. Therefore a mobilisation of Holocene dust by anthropogenic activity in the northwest Sahara east of the Canary Islands is assumed. Although scarce archaeological data from the coastal area of that region does not point to strong anthropogenic activity during the early Holocene, a high density of unexplored archaeological remains is reported from the coastal hinterlands in the Western Sahara. Thus, the hypothesis of early anthropogenic activity cannot be excluded. Key words: Canary Islands, Saharan dust, geoarchaeology, early Holocene, Western Sahara, desertification. Introduction Sediments derived from aeolian dust can bear witness to past environmental changes occurring in dust mobilisation areas. -
