Theory for the practice of environmental assessment : mutual adjustment, critical rationality, and power in planning and decision making by Hill, Richard Charles

“…This thesis develops theory for the practice of Environmental Assessment (EA) by integrating philosophies with theories and models from the fields of EA, decision making, and city and regional planning. The thesis articulates a theory of the political economy ofEA (a macro theory), which describes why and how EA works to regulate proposals through a set of relations between the state, the economy, and civil society. 1 Implicit and explicit theoretical models from the EA literature are analysed to identify facets of EA vital to its success in influencing planning and decision making. …”

An investigation of spatial-temporal diel changes in Loligo reynaudii catch rates in the commercial squid jig fishery of South Africa by Botes, Peet

“…Considering that commercial jig catches similarly depend on the prevalence, intensity and duration of aggregations; and assuming standardised Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) to be a representative measure of local abundance and proportional representation of regional population distribution: this study employed statistical modelling to specifically investigate whether, on the commercial squid jig fishing grounds of South Africa, there is: (1) an effect of diel period on chokka CPUE; (2) seasonal variation in any effects of diel period on CPUE; and (3) spatial variation in any effects of diel period on CPUE between seasons and years. …”
