BRIEF OVERVIEW OF POTENTIAL ECOSYSTEM IMPACTS OF MARINE PHOSPHATE MINING IN THE WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA
This report, prepared by Jock Currie of the University of Cape Town for WWF South Africa, examines the potential ecological impacts of full-scale marine phosphate mining in the Western Cape, South Africa. It focuses on the risks associated with high-volume dredging technologies, such as Trailing Suction Hopper-Dredges (TSHD), and their effects on benthic, demersal, and pelagic organisms, as well as the overlap between proposed mining areas and critical conservation and fishery zones.
