Indian Ocean – Country/Territory CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Country/Territory - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Darwin - is part of the Northern Territory of Australia. The leading label - COUNTRY/TERRITORY - indicates that place names are preceded by their country or territory. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Ocean - Indian Ocean” but in a hierarchy of ocean, seas and region name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Darwin” has a unique identifier of “12S130E0001”. From that we see that Darwin is located at 12 degrees south (S) and 130 degrees east (E). It is place number 0001 at that latitude and longitude. This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

Conservation management of these precious ecosystems relies on accurate and up-to-date information about ecosystem health and the distribution of species and habitats, but such information can be costly to gather and interpret in the fi eld. Remote sensing has proven capable of collecting information on geomorphologic zones and substrate types for coral reef environments, and is cost-effective when information is needed for large areas.

  • Historical Development of the Mafia Island Marine Park
    HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAFIA ISLAND MARINE PARK: The idea of establishing a marine park at Mafia Island began in the 1960s when recommendations were made for the protection of coastal areas and marine resources in Tanzania through the establishment of marine parks, reserves and sanctuaries. These resulted in the declaration of eight small reserves along the Tanzanian coast under the Fisheries (Marine Reserves) Regulations of 1975, two of these are in what is now the Mafia Island marine Park (MIMP), namely Chole Bay and Kitutia Reef. The small size of these areas and the lack of financial and human resources for enforcement meant that the marine reserves were essentially paper parks; Dynamite fishing and other destructive and unsustainable resource utilization continued unabated. The inadequacy of management of these small areas led to the realization that the creation of a larger marine protected area would make it possible to combine conservation of reefs and other key coastal and marine areas with; management or resources to ensure sustainable long term local economic development. From 188, baseline studies were conducted through the frontier-Tanzania project, a collaborative programme of the University of Dar es salaam (including the institute of Marine Sciences, Zanzibar) and a UK-based conservation research organization. The studies aimed to determine the use could be sustainable. The results provided important baseline information for developing recommendations for the marine park management plan. In 1991,the Principal Secretaries of the Ministry of Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment appointed a steering Committee to oversee the development of the marine park. The Committee included representatives from the fisheries division, the Institute of Marine Science (IMS), the MP for Mafia, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Regional Natural Resources office (Coast Region), and wildlife Conservation Society for Tanzania.

  • Southern Egyptian Red Sea Bays, Offshore Reefs and Islands IMMA
    Southern Egyptian Red Sea Bays, Offshore Reefs and Islands IMMA Summary The Egyptian Red Sea waters south of Marsa Alam encompass diverse marine habitats, including coastal bays, offshore reefs, and islands, supporting populations of nine marine mammal species. The northern parts of the area feature habitats used by Area Size resident dugong (Dugong dugon) and spinner 19,425 km2 dolphins (Stenella longirostris).¬† These populations have become the target of popular, intense, and in Qualifying Species and Criteria many cases, unregulated “swim-with” tourism operations that take place in their resting and calving areas. Conversely, the southern portion of the area is Dugong – Dugong dugon remote and less affected by coastal development Criteria A, B1 and tourism. Scientific research on marine mammals in this area commenced in the early 2000s and has Indian Ocean humpback dolphin – Sousa plumbea contributed significantly to the understanding of Criterion A spinner dolphin and dugong behaviour, as well as species occurrence, distribution and ecology in the Risso’s dolphin – Grampus griseus region. Criterion B1 Description Spinner dolphin – Stenella longirostris Criteria B1, C1 The IMMA is located in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate, an administrative division of Egypt including most of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin – Tursiops aduncus the Red Sea coastal area, from the Suez Canal to the Criterion B1 border with Sudan. It encompasses the entire Marsa Alam administrative region, which ranges from Port Ghalib in the north (25.6°N, 34.1°E) to Shalatin in the Common bottlenose dolphin – Tursiops truncatus south (23.5°N; 33.5°E), and includes a range of diverse Criterion B2 marine and terrestrial habitats.

  • Shark Aggregation and Tourism: Opportunities and Challenges of an Emerging Phenomenon
    Shark aggregation and tourism: Opportunities and challenges of an emerging phenomenon NIR NECKER ZIV ZEMAH SHAMIR , SHIRI ZEMAH SHAMIR NIR BECKER, DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT, TEL-HAI ACADEMIC COLLEGE, ISRAEL. E-MAIL: [email protected] ZIV ZEMAH SHAMIR, Marine Biology Department, M. Kahn Marine Research Station, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel. E-mail: [email protected] SHIRI ZEMAH SHAMIR, School of Sustainability, Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, P.O. Box 167, Herzliya 46150, Israel. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the last few winters, sharks have been aggregating near the Israeli Mediterranean coast, at a specific point, near Hadera power station. This unusual phenomenon has fascinated residents, visitors, kayakers, divers and swimmers. We analyse the effects of this intense human interest on the sharks, using contingent behaviour, in Hadera and in Ashkelon, where sharks are present but not the infrastructure for their observation. We also report on changes in shark behaviour due to change in tourism intensity. We find a change of about ILS 4.1 million annually for both sites but a larger individual consumer surplus in Hadera, where sharks are currently observable. Touristic intensity crosses the threshold level by about 12% and making the socio-equilibrium sustainable for both humans and sharks would have a social cost of ILS 0.157 million. Keywords: Shark aggregation, shark behaviour, human-wildlife conflict, Mediterranean, Travel cost, tourism. 1 1. Introduction Sharks (superorder Selachimorpha) are characterized by K-selected life history traits, including slow growth, late age-at-maturity and low fecundity. Thus, once a population is depleted, recovery to pre-exploitation levels may take several decades or longer (Kabasakal et al.
