  • Survey Guide Notes 2017
    COASTWATCH SURVEY GUIDE NOTES The Coastwatch Survey 2017 is taking place from the Black sea to the Baltic and the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. This is the 30th anniversary of the survey which was started on the island of Ireland in 1987 and went international in 1988. It involves walking a chosen survey unit of sea shore (500m) once around low tide, eyes peeled for lots of information set out in the survey questionnaire and noting down your observations. Water quality tests may be used. Individual snapshot surveys are combined like a jigsaw of our shore in autumn 2017. Much of this citizen science work can be compared with or used to augment official data to better monitor our shores and seas and take action where needed. A survey unit (s.u. for short) is a stretch of shore approx. 500 m long as measured along mean high tide mark. On the Coastwatch map online it’s any one of the blue or white sections you see along the coast. If you click on one the colour changes to red and the unique survey unit code pops up. Spring (extreme) high-tide HINTERLAND Normal high-tide (MHWM) SPLASH Normal low-tide (MLWM) ZONE INTERTIDAL The width covers the sea shore from start of hinterland (dry land) down to shallow water when the tide is out. The intertidal may be over a kilometre in tidal estuaries with sand and mudflats, or reduced to a narrow strip along steeply sloping shores. In spring tides on a full and new moon it is widest.

  • Appendix 1 : Marine Habitat Types Definitions. Update Of
    Appendix 1 Marine Habitat types definitions. Update of “Interpretation Manual of European Union Habitats” COASTAL AND HALOPHYTIC HABITATS Open sea and tidal areas 1110 Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time PAL.CLASS.: 11.125, 11.22, 11.31 1. Definition: Sandbanks are elevated, elongated, rounded or irregular topographic features, permanently submerged and predominantly surrounded by deeper water. They consist mainly of sandy sediments, but larger grain sizes, including boulders and cobbles, or smaller grain sizes including mud may also be present on a sandbank. Banks where sandy sediments occur in a layer over hard substrata are classed as sandbanks if the associated biota are dependent on the sand rather than on the underlying hard substrata. “Slightly covered by sea water all the time” means that above a sandbank the water depth is seldom more than 20 m below chart datum. Sandbanks can, however, extend beneath 20 m below chart datum. It can, therefore, be appropriate to include in designations such areas where they are part of the feature and host its biological assemblages. 2. Characteristic animal and plant species 2.1. Vegetation: North Atlantic including North Sea: Zostera sp., free living species of the Corallinaceae family. On many sandbanks macrophytes do not occur. Central Atlantic Islands (Macaronesian Islands): Cymodocea nodosa and Zostera noltii. On many sandbanks free living species of Corallinaceae are conspicuous elements of biotic assemblages, with relevant role as feeding and nursery grounds for invertebrates and fish. On many sandbanks macrophytes do not occur. Baltic Sea: Zostera sp., Potamogeton spp., Ruppia spp., Tolypella nidifica, Zannichellia spp., carophytes.

Fifteen samples were taken in Zingst–Osterwald and Windwatt from beach ridges to reconstruct the development of the Zingst spit system and separate phases of sediment mobilisation. The Keywords: single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol was applied to coarse grain quartz for OSL dating. The Chronology reliability of OSL data was tested with laboratory experiments including dose recovery, recycling ratio and OSL dating recuperation as well as the stratigraphy. We conclude that the sediment is suitable for OSL measurements Quartz Coastal evolution and the derived ages are internally consistent as well as in agreement with the existing stratigraphy and the Baltic Sea geological models of sediment aggradation. The beach ridges at Zingst–Osterwald aggregated ∼1900 to Coastal sediments ∼1600 years ago before the alteration of the sediment system related to the late Subatlantic transgression and the closing of the coastal inlets.

  • 14 the Welsh Premier League and the 'Significant Risk' to Match
    14 The Welsh Premier League and the ‘Significant Risk’ to Match-Manipulation. Is a Specific Offence Required? Matt Hall Introduction The issue of match-fixing is one of the biggest global threats the sports industry faces (Veuthey, 2014; Kihl, Skinner & Engelberg, 2017). The link between match-fixing, and wider criminal networks and corruption is well documented. This has drawn international attention from the likes of Interpol, Europol and the European Union. There exists no uniform definition of match-fixing (Katsarova, 2016). However, the concept of ‘manipulation’ provided by the Australian Sports and Recreation Ministers Council (2011) receives endorsement by the European Parliament (ibid), that being: “Match-fixing involves the manipulation of an outcome or contingency by competitors, teams, sports agents, support staff, referees and officials and venue staff. Such conduct includes: i. the deliberate fixing of the result of a contest, or of an occurrence within the contest; ii. deliberate underperformance; iii. withdrawal (tanking);1 iiii. an official’s deliberate misapplication of the rules of the contest; v. interference with the play or playing surfaces by venue staff; and vi. abuse of insider information to support a bet placed by any of the above or placed by a gambler who has recruited such people to manipulate an outcome or contingency” (p.2). Match-fixing can arise in two forms: betting-related match-fixing with the aim of achieving financial gain; or sports-related match-fixing which is motivated by the desire to qualify for a competition (Katsarova, 2016). This chapter focuses on the former and will use the terms match- fixing and match-manipulation interchangeably throughout.

(Full Paper Submission) John Davies, Nathalie Weerasundara, Sajeem Sheik, Chandni Patel, Kajal Patel Victoria University of Wellington, [email protected] ABSTRACT This case study provides opportunity to examine alleged unethical behavior in a high profile professional sport, and an associated international sporting event. The case focuses, in general, on notions of inappropriate workplace behavior, disregard of workplace ethics and codes of behavior, specifically relating to sporting conduct and the written and unwritten laws of the game of cricket. In particular, it relates to members of a national cricket team involved in a coordinated spot fixing scandal. The case also provides opportunity to discuss the impact and relevance of context when assessing the behavior of professionals in sport and business. KEYWORDS: sport, spot fixing, gambling, ethical behavior, moral ethos, stakeholder analysis, governance, risk management, crisis management. INTRODUCTION Unethical behavior in the workplace has become a common concern for many organizations operating in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
