The Congress will be held at Sydney’s famous Convention Centre, on the waterfront close to the Sydney Opera House. The organizers (Richard Harvey, Chair, Sally Dunwoodie, Peter Currie, Patrick Tam and others) have put together a very exciting program. There will be presentations by two Nobel laureates (Sydney Brenner and Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard), the winner of the 2005 ISDB Ross Harrison Pr...

Tidal inlets are of great societal importance as they are often associated with ports and harbours, industry, tourism, recreation and prime waterfront real estate. Their behaviour is governed by the delicate balance of oceanic processes (tides, waves and mean sea level), and fluvial/estuarine processes (riverflow and heat fluxes), all of which can be significantly affected by climate change (CC...

The analysis and presentation of plan view parameters for 39 marinas operating in Croatia is made in the paper to enhance improvement of the spatial and economic planning of nautical tourism in Croatia. The following plan view parameters were collected: number of berths, number of dry berths, breakwater length, fixed pier length, pontoon length, waterfront length, water basin area, territory ar...

Historically, water allocation focused on quantities demanded by consumptive uses. As quantity demand grows, efficient allocation among consumptive and nonconsumptive uses becomes more critical. This hedonic approach provides information regarding recreational and aesthetic (RA) value for a central Texas lake. The model indicates several statistically significant RA characteristics of housing; ...
