  • Stone Tidal Weirs, Underwater Cultural Heritage Or Not? Akifumi
    Stone Tidal Weirs, Underwater Cultural Heritage or Not? Akifumi Iwabuchi Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan, 135-8533 Email: [email protected] Abstract The stone tidal weir is a kind of fish trap, made of numerous rocks or reef limestones, which extends along the shoreline on a colossal scale in semicircular, half-quadrilateral, or almost linear shape. At the flood tide these weirs are submerged beneath the sea, while they emerge into full view at the ebb. Using with nets or tridents, fishermen, inside the weirs at low tides, catch fish that fails to escape because of the stone walls. They could be observed in the Pacific or the Yap Islands, in the Indian Ocean or the east African coast, and in the Atlantic or Oleron and Ré Islands. The UNESCO’s 2001 Convention regards this weir as underwater cultural heritage, because it has been partially or totally under water, periodically or continuously, for at least 100 years; stone tidal weirs have been built in France since the 11th century and a historical record notes that one weir in the Ryukyu Islands was built in the 17th century. In Japan every weir is considered not to be buried cultural property or cultural heritage investigated by archaeologists, but to be folk cultural asset studied by anthropologists, according to its domestic law for the protection of cultural properties. Even now in many countries stone tidal weirs are continuously built or restored by locals. Owing to the contemporary trait, it is not easy to preserve them under the name of underwater cultural heritage.

  • Upper Respiratory Tract and Aural Flora of Saturation Divers

DAVIS From the Department ofBacteriology, Withington Hospital, Manchester M20 8LR, UK SUMMARY The conditions of helium saturation diving promote the proliferation of Gram-negative bacterial species in the external auditory meatus of divers. These changes in flora occurred in the absence of operational diving, that is, no contact with water. The colonising bacteria were auto- genous in origin and cross-colonisation was observed between divers. On return to normal atmos- pheric conditions the aural flora became predominantly Gram-positive again within 48 hours.

The product was an instant success and was immediately accepted in the domestic as well as overseas markets. Products and machinery were gradually developed and improved until the first major leap forward in our production technology happened in the 1970’s and early 1980’s when specially designed, in-house constructed machinery for rotomolding of our buoys and fenders was developed and put into use. Such type of machinery at that time was truly unique in the world of molding buoys and fenders. More recent and even more revolutionary developments took place in the new millennium, by our designing and constructing of the first ever fully automated and robot assisted production machinery, built for molding of inflatable fenders. Ever since the start in 1955, our company has been committed to further expand the range and to further develop, customize and improve the individual products. Today, Polyform ® of Norway can offer the widest range of inflatable buoys and fenders , expanded foam marina fenders, purse seine floats and an extensive range of hard-plastic products for use throughout the marine industry, including aquaculture/fish-farming, offshore oil and gas industry, harbors, ships, marina industry and custom made products also for land-based applications.

  • Analysis of Recreational Closed-Circuit Rebreather Deaths 1998–2010 Andrew W Fock Abstract (Fock AW
    78 Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Volume 43 No. 2 June 2013 Analysis of recreational closed-circuit rebreather deaths 1998–2010 Andrew W Fock Abstract (Fock AW. Analysis of recreational closed-circuit rebreather deaths 1998–2010. Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2013 June;43(2):78-85.) Introduction: Since the introduction of recreational closed-circuit rebreathers (CCRs) in 1998, there have been many recorded deaths. Rebreather deaths have been quoted to be as high as 1 in 100 users. Methods: Rebreather fatalities between 1998 and 2010 were extracted from the Deeplife rebreather mortality database, and inaccuracies were corrected where known. Rebreather absolute numbers were derived from industry discussions and training agency statistics. Relative numbers and brands were extracted from the Rebreather World website database and a Dutch rebreather survey. Mortality was compared with data from other databases. A fault-tree analysis of rebreathers was compared to that of open-circuit scuba of various configurations. Finally, a risk analysis was applied to the mortality database. Results: The 181 recorded recreational rebreather deaths occurred at about 10 times the rate of deaths amongst open-circuit recreational scuba divers. No particular brand or type of rebreather was over-represented. Closed-circuit rebreathers have a 25-fold increased risk of component failure compared to a manifolded twin-cylinder open-circuit system. This risk can be offset by carrying a redundant ‘bailout’ system. Two-thirds of fatal dives were associated with a high-risk dive or high-risk behaviour. There are multiple points in the human-machine interface (HMI) during the use of rebreathers that can result in errors that may lead to a fatality.

  • 1.0 Introduction
    1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 MARINE RECREATION AND TOURISM IN HAWAI‘I Hawai‘i hosts approximately seven million visitors each year who spend more than US $11 billion in the state and in the last 20 years tourism has increased over 65% (Friedlander et al., 2005). More than 80% of Hawaii’s visitors engage in recreation activities in the state’s coastal and marine areas with the majority of these individuals participating in scuba diving (200,000 per year) or snorkeling (3 million per year) when visiting (Hawai‘i DBEDT, 2002; van Beukering & Cesar, 2004). Other popular marine recreation activities include ocean kayaking, parasailing, swimming, outrigger canoeing, and surfing. Coral reef areas are a focal point for much of this recreation use, but these areas are also a natural resource that has considerable social, cultural, environmental, and economic importance to the people of Hawai‘i. For example, the state’s reefs generate US $800 million in revenue and $360 million in added value each year (Cesar & van Beukering, 2004; Davidson et al., 2003). These reefs are also important for local residents, as approximately 30% of households in the state have at least one person who fishes for recreation and almost 10% of households also fish for subsistence purposes (QMark, 2005). As popularity of Hawaii’s reef areas continues to increase, demand for access and use can disrupt coastal processes, damage ecological integrity of reef environments, reduce the quality of user experiences, and generate conflict among stakeholders regarding appropriate management responses (Orams, 1999). As a result, state regulatory agencies such as Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) are faced with a set of challenges that include determining use thresholds and how to 1 manage and monitor use levels to ensure that thresholds are not violated, protecting reef environments from degradation, and ensuring that user experiences are not compromised.

I ‘&VE so often, of late, been called on for copies of some of these productions, -no longer to be found in a separate or convenient form,-that I have ventured to think that they might prove an acceptable contribution to our Centennial Literature.

The Monument to Washington, to which the first pro­ duction relates, is still unfinished. It may be interesting to recall the fact that the Oration, on the laying of its corner-stone, was to have been delivered by JOHNQUINCY ADAMS.

    259 CHAPTER 15 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM Side Scan Sonar and the Management of Underwater Cultural Heritage Timmy Gambin Introduction Th is chapter deals with side scan sonar, not because I believe it is superior to other available technologies but rather because it is the tool that I have used in the context of a number of off shore surveys. It is therefore opportune to share an approach that I have developed and utilised in a number of projects around the Mediterranean. Th ese projects were conceptualised together with local partners that had a wealth of local experience in the countries of operation. Over time it became clear that before starting to plan a project it is always important to ask oneself the obvious question – but one that is oft en overlooked: “what is it that we are setting out to achieve”? All too oft en, researchers and scientists approach a potential research project with blinkers. Such an approach may prove to be a hindrance to cross-fertilisation of ideas as well as to inter-disciplinary cooperation. Th erefore, the aforementioned question should be followed up by a second query: “and who else can benefi t from this project?” Benefi ciaries may vary from individual researchers of the same fi eld such as archaeologists interested in other more clearly defi ned historic periods (World War II, Early Modern shipping etc) to other researchers who may be interested in specifi c studies (African amphora production for example).
