- ItemTowards a National Marine and Coastal Spatial Biodiversity Plan: Challenges and Opportunities(2018-06-20) Harris, Linda; Van Niekerk, LaraSouth Africa’s oceans are becoming busier as ocean activities expand and diversify, while mining, coastal development and deteriorating water quality pose challenges to coastal ecosystems. Key opportunities to strengthen coastal and offshore biodiversity management include the development of a first National Marine Critical Biodiversity Areas map and associated use guidelines. This presentation highlights key challenges including information gaps, overlap between development or industry activity and priority areas, weak Environmental Impact Assessments, poor understanding of coastal and ocean processes and poor protection levels of offshore and estuarine ecosystems with specific examples. The planning community are invited to assist in addressing these challenges through new decision support tools including products to support the implementation of Marine Spatial Planning. The new maps provided by the 2018 National Biodiversity Assessment will be used to identify and communicate Critical Biodiversity Areas and Ecological Support Areas. Progress and possible approaches to improve mapping and management of marine and coastal ecological infrastructure are briefly reviewed to set the scene for the next two sessions.
