Title: | Physical oceonography of Sodwana Bay and its effect on larval transport and coral bleaching | Authors: | Morris, Tamaryn | Keywords: | Oceanography -- South Africa;Coral reefs and islands -- South Africa;Sodwana Bay (South Africa);Indian Ocean | Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Cape Peninsula University of Technology | Abstract: | A collaborative study between Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) and the Oceanographic Research Institute (ORI) was initiated in March 2001 to investigate the physical oceanography of Sodwana Bay, South Africa, and the affects on coral communities resident to the area. A bottom-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and three Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTR) were deployed to complement the long-term monitoring UTR deployed on Nine-Mile Reef (NMR) in 1994. The study was terminated after 30 months, whereby all instruments were removed except for the long-term monitoring UTR. | Description: | Thesis (MTech (Oceanography))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/2038 |
