AB - The Namaqualand coast is situated in the north-western part of South Afric
a. It sustains a fishery as well as a diamond mining industry, both of great imp
ortance for the South African economy. On the Namaqualand coast, diamonds have b
een mined from raised marine gravel-deposits since early this century. But coast
al areas as this sustain some of the most productive and biologically diverse ec
osystems in the world, and due to their riches, these areas are often threatened
by human activities. The need for wise management is now urgent.
