Abstract:
AbstractCoastal-trapped waves (CTWs) in Jervis Bay were investigated using a Jervis Bay Ocean Model (JBOM), based on the Princeton Ocean Model. Under the typical temperature stratification in Jervis Bay in summer, the first three modes of external CTWs can scatter into the bay. The wind stress inside Jervis Bay can generate CTWs, and the wind stress on the adjacent shelf can also generate CTWs in the bay by oscillations at the bay's opening, which are associated with temperature fluctuations there. The actual subinertial CTWs in Jervis Bay are a result of the interference of these CTWs. The amplitudes of the first three CTW modes were calculated from the observed sea level data. Three numerical experiments were designed to identify the major forcing for the observed subinertial temperature oscillations in Jervis Bay during an observational program in the summer of 1988/89. It was found that the local wind stress was the major contributor to the observed oscillations.

Abstract:
A numerical simulation of the East Australian Current (EAC) has been used to investigate the nutrification of shelf waters at Jervis Bay, south-eastern Australia, prior to the massive coccolithophorid bloom that was first observed on 16 December 1992. The simulation suggests that a small cold-core eddy developed between the continental slope at Jervis Bay and the EAC jet further offshore during 7 and 14 December 1992. This unstable cold-core eddy is likely to have uplifted cold, nutrient-rich water onto the Jervis Bay shelf, and this upwelling, in combination with upwelling-favourable winds, probably transported nutrients from the deep ocean to the entrance of the bay.

Abstract:
Restricted gene flow and reproductive philopatry are increasingly being described in marine predators such as sharks. However, observing shark reproductive behaviour in situ is problematic because of issues associated with sampling in the marine environment. As such, molecular tools have become fundamental to unravelling complex mating behaviours. In this study, we examined patterns of genetic structure in the oviparous Port Jackson shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) using 10 microsatellite loci and the mitochondrial (mt)DNA control region. Patterns of genetic structure were investigated between breeding aggregations in Sydney and Jervis Bay, as well as between two sites within Jervis Bay. Significant genetic differentiation was detected between Sydney and Jervis Bay using mtDNA, but no structure was observed within Jervis Bay. No significant genetic differentiation was found with microsatellites within or between aggregations. Mean assignment index values were significantly higher for females than males in Jervis Bay, but not in Sydney. Both females and males migrate inshore during the Austral winter for breeding, but it appears females may exhibit higher levels of reproductive philopatry than males. This is the first study to document reproductive philopatry in an oviparous shark, highlighting the importance of conserving and appropriately managing breeding sites for H. portusjacksoni and potentially other oviparous shark species.

Full text
Abstract:
The distributions of the introduced nematode parasite, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, and the native Angiostrongylus mackerrasae in Australia are poorly understood. We sampled rodents and/or their faeces, and intermediate gastropod hosts for the presence of Angiostrongylus species in coastal forests surrounding Jervis Bay in south-eastern Australia. We found A. cantonensis in populations of introduced Rattus rattus in forests to the north of Jervis Bay, and A. mackerrasae in native Rattus fuscipes in forests to the south of Jervis Bay. The apparent geographical separation of these lungworm species may be a consequence of host specificity and negative associations between R. rattus and R. fuscipes that results from interspecific competition. A. cantonensis was regularly found in R. rattus or their faeces across 9 of 12 study sites north of Jervis Bay, and three species of snail common to the area were suitable intermediate hosts. This has potential negative implications for native wildlife and human visitors to these forests, because A. cantonensis infection causes zoonotic disease (neuro-angiostrongyliasis) in humans and a wide range of bird and mammal hosts. Management of pest rodents in the study area is warranted.

Abstract:
A massive algal bloom of the coccolithophorid Gephyrocapsa oceanica Kamptner (Prymnesiophyceae) developed in Jervis Bay, a coastal embayment at 34�s on the New South Wales coast, in mid December 1992. The bloom coloured the entire bay a dramatic milky blue-green, which was clearly visible from aircraft and detectable in the visible band by the US satellite NOAA-11. The bloom, which reached cell densities of 1.8 x 107 cells L-1, persisted for a month. Such high densities of coccolithophorids have not been recorded before in Australian waters. Furthermore, it is the first record, world-wide, of a large-scale mono-specific bloom of G. oceanica. The bloom is suggested to have been driven by an intrusion of continental-slope water that continuously entered into the bottom of the bay.

Abstract:
This thesis provides an insight into the biology and ecology of foxes Vulpes vulpes from a coastal habitat and free roaming dogs Canis lupus familiaris from an Aboriginal community, both in SE NSW. In particular, the study examines the home range and movement patterns of both canids from a view point of population and disease control. Additional base line information was collected for these species on diet, parasites and population biology. A total of 14 foxes and 10 dogs were collared and radio tracked to determine the home range and movement patterns of the animals. The data collected provides information on the behaviour of foxes in coastal habitat and represents the first detailed biological study of freeroaming dogs in Australia. The results provide a better understanding of dog movements, particularly the differences in behaviour between wandering and sedentary dogs. Home range sizes varied greatly between the dog groups from 1 ha to 2451 ha. There was evidence that dog forays were influenced by prey availability, particularly medium sized macropods. Occasional sallies, size and shape of fox and dog home range is discussed in relation to the richness of habitat at Jervis Bay with comparisons being made with other studies from the literature. Foxes in Jervis Bay had home ranges between 60-270 ha which is comparable to foxes living in the forests of Germany and in coastal habitat in the Netherlands This study also provides data on the diet of foxes and dogs presenting quantitative and qualitative data on food preferences. Foxes tended to be opportunistic in food selection although critical weight range mammals ie. ringtail possums were favoured. The high prevalence of the parasite Spirometra spp. in foxes indicated that considerable numbers of amphibians and reptiles are consumed by this species. A comprehensive inventory of the parasites of the two canid species showed a high proportion of hookworm in foxes and dogs and Spirometra spp in foxes. These results are discussed in light of the potential health implications for local Aboriginal people. Analysis of fox scats revealed that they have the potential to spread the seeds of bitou bush. A more detailed pilot study revealed the potential impact of foxes on the environment through the spread of weed seeds. Germination trials recorded high viability of seeds that were eaten and deposited by foxes. The management implications of this behaviour are discussed in context to weed control. This thesis has provided new information on foxes and dogs in Australia. Discussion on these species in the thesis has been framed around the benefits of this information for population and disease control.

Abstract:
The breeding success of the Little Penguin was significantly higher in northern populations compared with documented southern colonies. Several southern colonies including Phillip Island in Victoria and colonies in Tasmania, have been characterised by poor breeding success, increasingly later commencement of breeding, and declining populations. This study aimed to compare and contrast the ecological attributes of a thriving northern population with other documented colonies. I collected long term data on breeding success (1987 to 1997) of the Little Penguin on Bowen Island, and related variability in breeding success to ocean currents and climate patterns, foraging behaviour and diet, nesting habitat, and inter-specific and fisheries competition. The benefits of successional changes to nesting habitat on Bowen Island since active habitat management commenced in 1989 were examined, including the importance of burrow depth, aspect, distance to water from the burrow, and vegetation type on breeding success of the Little Penguin. Morphological measurements of east coast penguins indicated a north-south cline, similar to that described in New Zealand. The Little Penguin was larger at higher latitudes. Whilst adults were sedentary and displayed a high degree of nest site fidelity, juveniles dispersed widely in their first three years, but then returned to the colony, sometimes to their natal burrow, to breed. This appears to be an adaptive mechanism, which selects for high quality nesting habitat. The study confirmed earlier findings that mature vegetation assemblages, namely woodland and forest, support higher breeding success than structurally simpler grassland and herbland habitat. This may contribute to observed differences in breeding success between northern and southern colonies, because many of the southern colonies have degraded nesting habitat. Most important to the diet of the Little Penguin were clupeoids, which dominated the fish species of Jervis Bay. The substantial clupeoid resources were targeted by the tuna fishery for bait, in the same areas and coinciding with maximum demands (chick raising and fledging), as penguins. The potential quantity of baitfish taken from Jervis Bay was over 10, 000 tonnes per year, which was well beyond the quantities raising concerns in other regions, although the fishery remains unregulated. Nevertheless, the foraging range of Bowen Island penguins was smaller than has previously been described Little Penguins on Bowen Island had a heavy reliance on relatively shallow waters of the Bay, within 5 km of the island. Daily foraging distances exceeding 20 km coincided with low breeding success, sometimes below that required for population replacement. Greater daily foraging range during the breeding season in southern Victoria may explain in part why these populations are declining. The principal mechanism for nutrient enrichment of Jervis Bay waters was the East Australia Current (EAC). This is a large and powerful, warm water boundary current of 250 km diameter and 1000 feet depth, which promoted slope water intrusion through upwelling along the New South Wales coast during the study, particularly during the penguin breeding season. The EAC effects northern colonies, but less so southern colonies. The Bowen Island colony was prone to periodic breeding failure, which was related to the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, indicated in Australia by the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). ENSO warm events, corresponding with negative values of the SOI, depressed the EAC and caused downwelling, leading in some seasons to increased breeding failure. There was a correlation between both fledging success and adult mortality, and the SOI. The mean breeding success of the Bowen Island colony, at 1.46 chicks per pair over the ten-year study, was the highest recorded for the Little Penguin, and the population was increasing.

Abstract:
Marine protected areas are recognized as an important approach to conserve marine ecosystems and biodiversity as well as to manage costal and marine resource. This thesis addresses the development and management of marine protected areas in Australia and in China. Australia and China are major maritime countries with diverse marine creatures and ecosystems. Both countries have adopted marine protected areas as a management tool to protect the marine environment. This thesis introduces their marine environment and threats, and then makes a close study of the development, legislation and management of marine protected areas in both Australia and China. Two case studies, Jervis Bay Marine Park in Australia, and Shankou Mangrove Marine Nature Reserve in China provide examples of the management strategies and lessons learnt. In order to improve the management of marine protected areas in China, the thesis analyzes the conflicts in the development of marine protected areas in China and prescribes community participation and the marine special reserve as solutions to promote the development of marine protected areas. This study also examines how the Australian Defence Force, an important stakeholder, manages its activities in the marine protected areas.

Abstract:
Using the Jervis Bay nuclear power project as its centrepiece, this thesis examines the Australian Government’s attitudes and policies towards electric power generation using nuclear technology from the earliest beginnings as the technology was developed during the 1940s to the cancellation of the Jervis Bay project in 1971. It explores the key influences on this policy and examines the extent to which each had a direct influence in the planning of the Jervis Bay project, in particular: the demand for increased economic capacity, the possibility of a nuclear defence deterrent and the significance of Australia’s uranium reserves. The thesis interprets policy at a variety of levels, from the complex arena of diplomatic and strategic relations, to the responses of the public and the scientific community.
This thesis argues that the Jervis Bay project was end product of a long and detailed policy development process, spanning over twenty years. Though the influences which shaped this development varied, the centre of this bi-partisan support for peaceful nuclear technology was always the goal that Australia would one day have commercial nuclear power plant. However, it will also demonstrate that such lengthy preparations are no guarantee for success. The project would ultimately be cancelled as a series of technological, economic and political problems conspired to undermine those careful preparations. As Australians continue to debate the possibility of introducing nuclear power, this thesis not only highlights some potential challenges in the introduction of nuclear policy, but also the challenge of gaining and maintaining support for any major national technology or infrastructure project.

Abstract:
The primary objective of coastal management around much of Australia's coastline is to achieve a balance between environmental conservation, recreational use and commercial development. This objective is particularly appropriate for the coastal environment of Jervis Bay on the New South Wales coastline. Large areas of this embayments hinterland remain in a relatively pristine condition, fronting onto white sandy beaches and deep sheltered waters. In the past, the physical attributes of the environment have attracted the attention of potential commercial and industrial developers. Proposals for development have been numerous and large-scale. While all have been abandoned or denied approval, the environmental risks posed by large-scale developments, such as marinas or naval facilities, still remain. The environment is also endangered by the insidious growth of urbanisation and the bay's increasing popularity as a recreational destination. If a viable management plan is to be developed for this coastal environment then it is essential to develop an understanding of the sedimentary zone as a system, and to identify the relationships between physical characteristics of the environment and human activities. The majority of human activities that occur within Jervis Bay, and those that are proposed to occur, impact the stability of the sedimentary zone, either directly or indirectly. While there have been numerous environmental studies of the bay, few have given regard to this highly dynamic element of the physical environment. Not surprisingly, there is little information pertaining to variability within the sedimentary zone, while the information that does exist is of highly variable quality. For this reason, a geographic information system (GIS) is employed to aid in the task of information collation, synthesis, analysis and presentation. It is proposed that through the gathering and interrelation of fragmented information records, an understanding of the processresponse mechanisms operating in the sedimentary environment can be attained.

Abstract:
Shaken Baby Syndrome is a collection of injuries that have been associated with the violent shaking of an infant or small child. These injuries can then lead to serious brain damage or even death. It is therefore important to identify the exact mechanism that leads from the shaking to the observed injuries, but little experimental work has been done in this area. The first part of this study was designed to identify if a correlation exists between the physical characteristics of a person shaking a crash test dummy (CRABI) and the resulting accelerations and jerks associated with the motion of the dummy’s head. This was done by placing a three axis accelerometer in the head and two in the body (one in the chest and one in the groin) of a median twelve month old male dummy to determine the acceleration of the head and body. In particular, the relative angular acceleration and jerk of the head relative to the body was determined, since it was felt to be a better predictor of brain damage than would be the absolute linear acceleration of the head. Similar work has been done in the past; however that study only considered the absolute acceleration of the head, and in only one direction. Since the present study allows the attitude of the head to be determined, a true relative angular acceleration of the head relative to the body was found. Consequently, it was found that no strong correlation existed between the absolute linear acceleration and any body characteristic, however a correlation (R2) of 0.6 was found to exist between the body weight of the shaker and the maximum angular jerk of the dummy’s head relative to its body, as compared to only a correlation of 0.5 when the shaker’s body weight was compared to the absolute linear acceleration of the head. A two dimensional dynamic simulation was also developed that modelled the behavior of a child crash test dummy. The model included the legs, torso, and head of the dummy, and the elastic behavior of the neck. The model was created to allow the associated accelerations and jerks to be determined for inputs of various magnitude and temporal profiles. The model was then validated by comparing the simulation results to the test results obtained from the experimental study described above.

Abstract:
This paper faces the human factor in driving and its consequences for road safety. It presents the concepts behind the development of a smartphone app capable of evaluating drivers’ performance. The app provides feedback to the driver in terms of a grade (between 0 and 10) depending on the aggressiveness and risks taken while driving. These are computed from the cumulative probability distribution function of the jerks (i.e. the time derivative of acceleration), which are measured using the smartphones’ accelerometer. Different driving contexts (e.g. urban, freeway, congestion, etc.) are identified applying cluster analysis to the measurements, and treated independently. Using regression analysis, the aggressiveness indicator is related to the drivers' safety records and to the probability of having an accident, through the standard DBQ - Driving Behavior Questionnaire. Results from a very limited pilot test show a strong correlation between the 99th percentile of the jerk measurements and the DBQ results. A linear model is fitted. This allows quantifying the safe driving behavior only from smartphone measurements. Finally, this indicator is translated into a normalized grade and feedback to the driver. This feedback will challenge the driver to train and to improve his performance. The phone will be blocked while driving and will incorporate mechanisms to prevent bad practices, like competition in aggressive driving. The app is intended to contribute to the improvement of road safety, one of the major public health problems, by tackling the human factor which is the trigger of the vast majority of traffic accidents. Making explicit and quantifying risky behaviors is the first step towards a safer driving.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.4066
