Ecosystem change in the southern Benguela and the underlying processes
Overfishing and human-induced climate change are putting severe pressure on marine
ecosystems. In the southern Benguela, most of South Africa's commercial fisheries have a …

A synthesis of three decades of socio-ecological change in False Bay, South Africa: setting the scene for multidisciplinary research and management
Over the past three decades, marine resource management has shifted conceptually from
top-down sectoral approaches towards the more systems-oriented multi-stakeholder …

Nearshore and offshore co-occurrence of marine heatwaves and cold-spells
A changing global climate places shallow water ecosystems at more risk than those in the
open ocean as their temperatures may change more rapidly and dramatically. To this end, it …

Impacts of drought on grape yields in Western Cape, South Africa
Droughts remain a threat to grape yields in South Africa. Previous studies on the impacts of
climate on grape yield in the country have focussed on the impact of rainfall and temperature …

Concentrations and risk assessment of metals and microplastics from antifouling paint particles in the coastal sediment of a marina in Simon's Town, South Africa
Maintenance of maritime vessels includes the removal of paint from hulls that are sources of
metals, antifouling paint particles (APPs) and microplastics (MPs) that end up in the coastal …

Origin, development and demise of the 2010–2011 Benguela Niño
A Benguela Niño developed in November 2010 and lasted for 5 months along the Angolan

Decadal variability and trends of the Benguela upwelling system as simulated in a high-resolution ocean simulation
Detecting the atmospheric drivers of the Benguela upwelling systems is essential to
understand its present variability and its past and future changes. We present a statistical …

Human-mediated drivers of change—impacts on coastal ecosystems and marine biota of South Africa
A Mead, CL Griffiths, GM Branch… - African Journal of …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Coastal ecosystems are highly vulnerable to human-mediated drivers of global change
because they are located at the land–ocean interface and often host centres of urbanisation …
