Book Synopsis Temporarily Open/closed Estuaries in South Africa by : R. Perissinotto
Download or read book Temporarily Open/closed Estuaries in South Africa written by R. Perissinotto. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South African temporarily open/closed estuaries (TOCEs) and similar systems along the coastlines of other regions of the world, especially Australia, are amongst the most productive aquatic ecosystems. They shift seasonally from mostly open mouth states during rainy seasons to mostly closed mouth states during the dry part of the year. This allows a whole range of juvenile forms of estuarine-dependent and estuarine-associated marine species to be recruited inside their sheltered and productive reaches, where they complete their growth to maturity. This book covers topics such as the structure and function of open/closed estuaries in South Africa, as well as outlining the future management decisions that need to be made in order to ensure the longevity of these productive ecosystems.

Book Synopsis Ecology and Conservation of Estuarine Ecosystems by : Renzo Perissinotto
Download or read book Ecology and Conservation of Estuarine Ecosystems written by Renzo Perissinotto. This book was released on 2013-05-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St Lucia is the world's oldest protected estuary and Africa's largest estuarine system. It is also the centerpiece of South Africa's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and has been a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance since 1986. Knowledge of its biodiversity, geological origins, hydrology, hydrodynamics and the long history of management is unique in the world. However, the impact of global change has culminated in unprecedented challenges for the conservation and management of the St Lucia system, leading to the recent initiation of a project in support of its rehabilitation and long-term sustainability. This timely volume provides a unique source of information on the functioning and management of the estuary for researchers, students and environmental managers. The insights and experiences described build on over 60 years of study and management at the site and will serve as a valuable model for similar estuaries around the world.
