Wrecks are predominantly risk assessed by the Global North Nations responsible, resulting in an epistemology that separates human from nature. This research aimed to decolonise risk assessments to capture the spatially heterogeneous nature of human vulnerability to oil pollution. Triangulation analysis of interviews and official reports relating to the USS Mississinewa oil spill identified three Global South issues a Eurocentric risk assessment failed to capture: region-specific meteorological conditions causing the leak, remoteness making external resources slow to arrive, and the impact of the fishery closure on traditional subsistence lifestyles. A vulnerability assessment is proposed to prioritise wrecks in susceptible locations. Recommendations are made for a collaborative approach to wreck management by including local voices, resisting the Global...

However, if a constant proportion of available patches contain food, foraging efficiency is not affected by the total number of patches (Edwards et al. 1996). The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that spatial memory will be used to a lesser extent as the proportion of patches containing food increases. Not only is the animal faced with a potentially more complex task as the proportion of food patches increases but the cost:benefit ratio of using spatial memory is less. If 10 of 100 potential foraging sites contain food, an animal with perfect spatial memory could locate 5 of these patches in only 5 visits, whereas random searching requires 50 visits. If 50 patches contain food, 5 visits are required with perfect spatial memory but only 10 visits using random searching. Thus the...

Questionnaires to ascertain the effects of FMD on the visitors were successfully conducted on four days at Hound Tor. Higher proportions of local visitors were adversely affected by FMD. A continuous log of visitor numbers was also conducted at the location. FMD and weather conditions both appeared to have an impact on the number of visitors. In-depth interviews provided evidence that many visitors changed their behaviour patterns during the FMD outbreak and that some have not readjusted to ‘old habits’, activities and original locations. In addition the paper locates this case study in the broader context of crisis management and sustainability within the tourism industry. Keywords: foot and mouth disease (FMD), visitors, Dartmoor National Park (DNP)

It is hence important that ways of offering feedback are found that ...
