Predstavljena je vsebina knjige v tisku pri založbi AGU-Wiley z naslovom »Obalni ekosistemi na prehodu: Primerjalna analiza severnega Jadrana in Zaliva Chesapeake« urednikov T. Maloneja, A. Malej in ...J. Faganelija. Knjiga prinaša primerjavo ekosistemov severnega Jadrana in Zaliva Chesapeake (vzhodna obala ZDA) in širi znanje o antropogenih vplivih na obalne ekosisteme, kjer je koncentrirano tako prebivalstvo kot izkoriščanje naravnih virov. Ponovni pregled obeh ekosistemov je omogočil, da smo ocenili spremembe v zadnjih 20 letih, še posebej lokalne vplive v okviru globalnih podnebnih sprememb ter uspešnost posegov za upravljanje in zmanjšanje antropogenih vplivov na obalne ekosisteme.
As a result of opening of internal borders within the EU and rapid development of affordable navigation technology, there is a constantly increasing number of people in the Mediterranean who have ...adopted a lifestyle that revolves around living working and traveling on sailing boats. On the ground of ethnography among liveaboards in Greece the book discusses the following questions: How can we conceptualise these novel forms of movements that seem to sit uncomfortably in between the standard dichotomized division of work within migration studies and wider social sciences: internal/international migration, temporary/permanent, migration/tourism? How do we theoretically and methodologically situate these individuals that are statistically often invisible and seem to evade the common categories of describing a mobile person, such as migrant or tourist? In order to answer these questions, the author explores ethnographically the connection between the maritime environment, sea imaginaries and lifestyle migration. It puts forward six crew portraits in order to highlight details from individuals’ lives on a longer time perspective but also to place the individual stories, sea imaginaries and people’s experiences with the maritime environment in dialogue with each other. This makes it possible to better understand the expectations, aspirations and experiences of maritime lifestyle migrants and to discuss further the idea of temporarily unbelonging in practice.
The monograph presents different names of Piran Bay (Slo. Piranski zaliv) over time. Despite the leading onomastic topic, the publication is designed as a regional-geographic review of Piran Bay and ...its hinterland, where all the main physical- and socio-geographical characteristics are presented. This book describes the basic hydro-geographic characteristics of Piran Bay as a part of Gulf of Trieste and the Adriatic Sea. The monograph talks about the historical development, salt making in Sečovlje salt pans and the circumstances that led to the now more than two decades-long border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia. A significant chapter is dedicated to the presentation of the different naming of the Bay of Piran through time. According to the chronological order, 104 different cartographic sources present the name changes of the Piran Bay through time and when a certain specific geographic name appeared. Based on media analysis, one of the chapters describes the relation between the names Savudrijska vala or Savudrijski zaljev (Savudrija Bay) and Piranski zaliv or Piranski zaljev (Piran Bay).
Članek obravnava nekatere geografske vidike trajnostnega razvoja na območju severnega Jadrana v Republiki Hrvaški. Ta občutljiva regija se sooča s problemi urejanja prostora, oskrbe z vodo, ravnanja ...z odpadki, prometa in energetike, še zlasti v času turistične sezone, ko se močno povečajo obremenitve infrastrukture v obalnem območju, kjer je velika koncentracija prebivalstva in turističnih zmogljivosti. Dodatne okoljske probleme prinaša načrtovana gradnja naftovoda v okviru rusko-hrvaškega projekta Družba-Adria.
The Gannet Morus bassanus is a rare vagrant species in the Black Sea region (E Bulgaria). There are altogether 9 records of Gannet in Bulgaria over the last 100 years, all on the Black Sea coast. ...This paper describes the three most recent records. On 29-31 July 2008 6 individuals were observed in the vicinity of St. Constantine and Elena Resort (12 km north of the town of Varna, Varna Region, NE Bulgaria). Gannets were fishing by numerous (typical) dives, accompanied by a flock of Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo and Yellow-legged Gulls Larus michahellis. A review of all the species' records in Bulgaria, as well as the subfossil records in the Black Sea region is given.
