Summary
Abstract: Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) is one of four branches of the Department
of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. It is the regulatory authority
responsible for managing all marine and coastal activities. The demersal data
set has been collected from cruises around the South African Coast, and
currently contains 201741 of 230 families. For ease of extraction the dataset
has been divided into 6 - years ranging from 1983-1985, 1986-1990, 1991-1995,
1996-2000, 2001-2005 and 2006.
