Methods suitable for modelling the impacts of sea level rise in South Africa are discussed and a preferred . procedure laid out. This procedure is applied to the areas of Woodbridge Island (Cape Town), False Bay (Cape Town), Walvis Bay and Durban and provides a series of detailed case studies or Potential. Impact Assessments. These areas are taken to be representative of the major "type-location" environments found around the South African coastline. The application of a regional vulnerability ind~x, intended for global usage, is discussed and found to be inadequate for the South African Scenario. Based on the findings of the case studies a new vulnerability index is developed which provides a quasi-economic rating for risk to sea level rise. This new coastal vulnerability index is applied to the southern Cape and Natal south coasts; areas of contrasting geomorphology but comparable population densities. The findings from these exercises are extended to the whole coastline and a national vulnerability to sea level rise is built up. Over 80% of the South African coastline is made up of sandy beaches and mobile dunefields and therefore has an obvious potential for coastal damage. After considering levels of population pressure on the coast, those most vulnerable environments are found to include tidal inlets and locations where development has taken place on the primary dunes. Over 60% of the Cape coast's major inlets and estuaries contain significant development which may be susceptible to the impacts of sea level rise. Over-development of the primary dune can be demonstrated in most coastal towns and cities and dune development is particularly prevalent along the Natal south· coast and Greater Durban area. Overall four areas of particular risk stand out: Greater Cape Town. Melkbosstrand to Gordon's Bay. South Cape coast. Mossel Bay to Nature's Valley. Port Elizabeth. Natal south coast and Greater Durban. Southbroom to Ballitoville. Coastal management policies from a number of countries dealing with sea level rise are discussed and their applicability to South Africa is considered. On the basis of these comparisons it is suggested that South African sea level rise policy should be i instituted on two levels: On a state governmental level, all relevant government departments should acknowledge the overall problem and potential risk from global warming and associated sea level rise. In doing so planners and coastal engineers would be forced to recognize their professional responsibility in this area. On a local government level, any management plan proposed in a recognized sensitive environment or area, should be subject to a sea level rise hazard test. It is suggested that this procedure forms an integral part of the Integrated Environmental Management policy recently being adopted by land use managers in South Africa. Additional studies are necessary to enhance sea level rise management in South Africa. Suggestions for further research include: an improvement in the quantity and quality of the baseline sea level observations; monitoring of coastal processes that may be symptomatic of sea level rise; and investigation into the most effective responses and precautions to take against sea level rise.

Jonathan Kaplan Abridged CV Surname: Kaplan First names: Jonathan Michael Date of Birth: 23 September, 1961 University of Cape Town, South Africa. MA (Archaeology) 1989 Since 1991 I have been working as an independent archaeological consultant specialising in Archaeological Impact Assessment with a focus on pre-colonial Stone Age, Herder and Rock Art studies. I trade under the name Agency for Cultural Resource Management. 1 Executive summary A Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed George Western Bypass Road – N2 to Outeniqua Pass has identified no significant impacts to pre-colonial archaeological material that will need to be mitigated prior to road construction activities. Six proposed alternative alignments (two in the southern sector and four in the northern sector) have been identified and each one was searched for archaeological remains. Since at least the early 1700’s, much of the affected area has been modified and severely altered through agricultural activities (mainly pasture farming) and is therefore in an already transformed state.

  • June 2019 Monthly Report
    June 2019 Monthly Report The June monthly report makes for a lot of interesting reading with many activities taking place that kept the Rangers on their toes. The report provides the usual monthly compliance statistics including the discovery of snares, followed by a report back on the Voortrekkers annual visit, activities surround alien plant control and fuel load reduction, maintenance and some interesting wildlife highlights from the month. This report then details an alien biomass expo the Rangers attended, the very intriguing washout of a rare beaked whale and the Conservancy’s involvement therein, a conversation piece on Haworthia conservation and the release of a lesser Flamingo. The report is then concluded with the Capped Wheatear which features as this month’s monthly species profile. Plough snails enjoying their jellyfish feast. ‘If we knew how many species we’ve already eradicated, we might be more motivated to protect those that still survive. This is especially relevant to the large animals of the oceans.’ – Yuval Noah Harari 2 JUNE 2019 Compliance Management Marine Living Resources Act During June, a total of 24 recreational fishing, spearfishing and bait collecting permits were checked by Taylor, Kei and Daniel. Of the 24 permits checked, 6 people (25%) failed to produce a valid permit and were issued a verbal warning. Snares On the 3rd of June the Rangers came across some very rudimentary snares whilst checking some of the woodcutting operations on Fransmanshoek. Old packing strapping was used to create snares and were found tied to the base of bushes with a simple noose knot made at the other end.
