| Popis: | Bibliography: leaves 152-159. The continued sustainable beneficial use of the sea, and in particular Simon's Bay, as an important industrial Naval Harbour, beach and recreational retreat, tourist destination, penguin haven, trek-net fishery, maritime archaeological area and research zone has been highlighted. If these benefits are to be maintained or in the context of expanded future use, then the quality of seawater in the region is seen as a key maritime health indicator of this interdependent system. Information about near-shore interaction with False Bay and beyond is important for good management. This work is primarily concerned with the marine coastal region defined by the port limits of Simon's Bay. Simon's Bay cannot, however, be studied, without consideration of the external influences of the greater False Bay and, still further afield, from the South Atlantic Ocean and the Agulhas bank The primary area of interest includes the port limits of Simon's Bay as defined by the South African Navy, depicted on the SAN 1017, 1998 Simon's Bay hydrographic chart. This work aims to provide an initial understanding of the spatial and temporal environmental dynamics of Simon's Bay and establish baseline values. |
