Abstract:
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) of the Bocas del Toro archipelago are targeted by the largest boat-based cetacean watching operation in Panama. Tourism is concentrated in Dolphin Bay, home to a population of resident dolphins. Previous studies have shown that tour boats elicit short-term changes in dolphin behavior and communication; however, the relationship of these responses to the local population’s biology and ecology is unclear. Studying the effects of tour boats on dolphin activity patterns and behavior can provide information about the biological significance of these responses. Here, we investigated the effects of tour boat activity on bottlenose dolphin activity patterns in Bocas del Toro, Panama over 10 weeks in 2014. Markov chain models were used to assess the effect of tour boats on dolphin behavioral transition probabilities in both control and impact scenarios. Effect of tour boat interactions was quantified by comparing transition probabilities of control and impact chains. Data were also used to construct dolphin activity budgets. Markov chain analysis revealed that in the presence of tour boats, dolphins were less likely to stay socializing and were more likely to begin traveling, and less likely to begin foraging while traveling. Additionally, activity budgets for foraging decreased and traveling increased as an effect of tour boat presence. These behavioral responses are likely to have energetic costs for individuals which may ultimately result in population-level impacts. Boat operator compliance with Panamanian whale watching regulations is urgently needed to minimize potential long-term impacts on this small, genetically distinct population and to ensure the future viability of the local tourism industry.

Abstract:
Tanjung Puting National Park is a natural wildlife park with a positively increasing trend in the number of visitors. The transportation which is utilized in Sekonyer river is ‘klotok’ boat, a traditional tour boat modified from a fishing boat. The design of a fiberglass-based tour boat is needed to accommodate the limitation of Kalimantan’s logs, which become the main structural components of klotok and to comply with the technical characteristic of the river. The purpose of this study is to obtain the optimum main dimensions of the fiberglass-based tour boat and its hull form design. The method performed to obtain the main dimension of the boat is non-linear optimization with the help of solver in Microsoft Excel software. The process of boat’s hull design is done by line distortion approach where the shape of a reference boat’s hull is conformed to a particular size and hydrodynamical coefficients, which are obtained from the optimization process. The result of optimization process is the main dimension of the boat (Lpp = 12.23 m, B = 2.70 m, H = 1.14 m, T = 0.80 m and Cb = 0.55). By conducting a series of calculations, the obtained value of the total boat’s resistance worths 2,427 N. Therefore, the number of boat’s power needed is less than the power of existing boats. The boat’s hull also complies with technical requirements and regulations, which are freeboard and intact stability.

Abstract:
Short-term measures of behavioural responses of cetaceans to tourism operations have been used in many studies to interpret and understand potential long-term impacts of biological importance. The short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is the species most frequently observed in the Azores and constitutes an important component of the marine mammal tourism industry in this region. This study investigated the potential effects of tour boats on the behaviour of common dolphins off São Miguel, Azores, with particular focus on the changes in activity budget and the time required to resume activities after a tour boat interaction. Behavioural data were collected from land using a group focal-follow methodology. Markov chains were applied to analyse control and interaction sequences and to assess behavioural transition probabilities in both scenarios. In the presence of tour boats, dolphins significantly reduced the time spent foraging and increased the time engaged in other high energy activities. Dolphins also took significantly longer to resume feeding after an interaction occurred. The average bout length varied significantly between control and interaction scenarios, with foraging bouts being shorter during tour boats interactions. The results presented have management implications since feeding is a biologically critical activity. Disruption of foraging behaviour could lead to a decrease in energy intake for this population. With cetacean tourism likely to increase in the future, a precautionary approach to issuing new licences is advisable and any expansion would warrant an appropriate monitoring programme.

Abstract:
Coastal waters are being subjected to underwater noise generated by increasing numbers of leisure and tour boats. Such noise has the potential to impair the hearing of neighbouring bottlenose dolphins, particularly as the noise from several distributed boats could summate at the point of reception. This potential has been assessed by comparing small boat noise, recorded over a range of 8–532 m, with noise that is known to induce hearing impairment in the form of a temporary threshold shift (TTS) or permanent threshold shift (PTS). Extrapolation of broadband boat noise levels yielded a minimum source sound pressure level of 156 dB re 1μPa at 1 m. An equal-energy model for TTS-onset predicted that boat noise could induce a TTS after 1 hour's exposure at 1.3 m and after 8 hours' exposure at 2.3 m. These distances increased with additional adjacent boats. Leisure boats are unlikely to induce a PTS, even at close range.

Abstract:
Dolphins are increasingly coming into contact with humans, particularly where tourism is involved. It has been assumed that such contact causes chronic stress on dolphin populations. This study examined relatively naive populations of Hector's dolphins and their interaction with various watercrafts. Dolphins in New Zealand have been observed using theodolites and boat-based observations over the last two decades, particularly on the east side of the South Island at Akaroa, which is situated on the coast line of Banks Peninsula. This research was undertaken using shore-based theodolite tracking to observe boat activity around the coast of Lyttelton and Timaru and their associated Harbours. Observations were made mostly over two periods each of six months duration and included the months October through to March during the years 2000-2001 and 2001-2002. Observations made during a third period in 2005 were also incorporated for some of the analyses. Field investigations using a theodolite included more than 376 hours/site/season and recorded dolphin behaviour both with and without the presence of tour boats. Of primary interest were the tours, which ran regular trips to observe Cephalorhynchus hectori in their natural habitat. Hector's dolphins at both Lyttelton and Timaru were consistently observed with particular boat types and not with other types of water craft. Dolphins at Timaru exhibited a greater range of behaviours than those at Lyttelton. Stress-related behaviours such as an increase in swimming speed to open ocean and grouping behaviour were only observed in the presence of boats. Other potential stress behaviours, such as head slaps and repeated tail slaps, were only performed in the absence of boats. Observations implied that some generic dolphin behaviours, which often indicate stressed individuals may not apply to Hector's dolphins, and therefore question the assumption that all dolphin species behave in similar ways. We suggest that low-level tourist boat activity is not placing undue stress on the population. In addition to theodolite observations, tour boat based observations of Hector's dolphin were undertaken and behaviour at each site recorded for a focal animal. Tour boat-based observations concentrated on determining any preference to bow, stern, portside and starboard sides of the vessel. Dolphins consistently showed a preference in direction of approach and departure from tour vessels with a strong tendancy to the bow of the boat, and least with the stern. These results were similar irrespective of site or vessel. Behaviour data were also collected from tour boat vessels over 48 trips/season/site and the data divided into transitional behaviour groups, which included stress behaviours, association / interaction behaviour and neutral behaviour. Behavioural count and time data were collected to reflect the number of times and duration of behaviour occurrence, particularly in relation to transitional behaviours. Determining the presence of stress in Hector's dolphins varied between the data sets and indicated that time is a necessary factor when attempting to determine whether an individual or a general population is genuinely stressed. Quadrant preference and swimming direction in relation to the Black Cat were observed over six years, and both count and time data were collected with regard to behaviour. The results were consistent with preference in quadrant being expressed towards the bow of the boat and least with the stern. The count data suggested no significant impact on Hector's dolphin behaviour in the presence of the Black Cat over time, where time data indicated there was a transition over the years from neutral behaviour in the second year of tour boat activity, to positive behaviour in the third year of boat-activity and finally avoidance behaviour in the seventh year of tour boat activity at Lyttelton Harbour in response to the presence of the Black Cat.

Some of the most skilled seafaring sailors were ancient Polynesians and some of them came from Taiwan. When it was discovered by the Portuguese in the 17th century, Taiwan was given the name of Ilha Formosa which highlighted how beautiful its coastlines were and how rich and abundant its ocean resources were. During the 20th century, through political turmoil and warfare, Taiwan’s maritime accolades rested on its yacht building sector that reaches the top five ranking places around the world in the 1980’s. However, Taiwan’s martial law and the lack of reforms prohibited leisure marine activities, losing the potential of an industry able to create valuable socioeconomic impact. Fortunately, since 2010, restrictions are gradually removed which gives, thanks to a growing public demand, opportunities in leisure marine activities. The idea of this research is to take advantage of a this “blue ocean” activity here in Taiwan through different touristic tours models that can be done around Taiwan, Okinawa Island and Hong Kong. This thesis matches also one of my passion which is sailing. In June 2017, I had the opportunity with three friends to sail across the Atlantic Ocean for 50 days and this experience gave me some insights about cruising for a long time and the will to share this passion with others. With Formosa Luxury Tours, I see a way to share this passion in a luxury context in a country that is opening itself to leisure boating activities.

Yami Tribe is the indigenous of Taiwan who lives on the island of Lanyu. They are skilled in the handmade technology, especially in constructing the underground room, kneading pottery, opening up the areas of taros field and making the carving boat which was called "dadala"and "cinedkeran" in Yami language. In 2004 , the Hung-tou village changed their traditional boat-made way , and called all men unit together to hold an activity by the Hung-tou Community Development Association's help , they build a "cinedkeran" which could accommodate 10 persons. There were eight process in constructing this boat including taking the keel of prow and poop , taking the keel of the part on the big ship's bilge , piecing the keels , taking the planks of the hull , piecing the planks of the hull , making the attachments of the cabin , painting and carvings , and holding the launching. The captain who was a tribe old man in volunteer chosen after the boat had been finished. 13 kinds of plants where used in making the boat in which 11 species belonging to 8 families were recorded. They are：Terminalia catappa, Michelia compressa, Dysoxylum leytense, Artocarpus incises, Ficus benjamina, Ficus irisana, Morus australis, Neonauclea reticulate, Murraya paniculata omphalocarpa, Pometia pinnata, Palaquium formosanum, and the other two were the exotic plants.The major sources of plant materials came from their family's timberlands and public timberlands. The boat measured 8.46m×1.55m was made of 21 chunks of wood. There were 33 people joining this work, they spent 40 workdays finishing it and invested 3 months. An average of 15 workers were working each day , the oldest who was 85 years old and the youngest one was 30 years old . Owing to the shortage of man in each family, the traditional boat-made and fishing group has begun to wane. The traditional knowledge and technology of making the boat had loss inheritance. As a result , there is no family who could organize a boat-made and fishing group. It has been 28 years since they did cinedkeran last time. From the boat-made activity this time, the traditional knowledge and technology of boat-made could be pass down. And this become a special way to inherit their culture in the tribe.

Abstract:
This chapter highlights the experiences of mariners during the waterborne evacuation after the 9/11 attacks. On the morning of September 11, mariners brought specialized capacities to all manner of diverse tasks. The on-the-fly, solution-oriented approach — along with the steadfast willingness to help — proved invaluable on that grim and forbidding day. By late morning, an armada of different vessels, from dinner yachts to tour boats to tugs, had responded to the disaster unfolding in Lower Manhattan. Hearing the pronouncement that a full-scale evacuation was now under way eliminated any doubts Spirit Cruises Operations Director Greg Hanchrow might have had about filling the Spirit Cruises dinner boats with passengers. In some respects these vessels, designed to load and offload large numbers of people quickly and efficiently, could not have been more perfect for the mission. Wondering where he could disembark so many people, Hanchrow called the general manager of the Lincoln Harbor Yacht Club in New Jersey, Gerard Rokosz, whom he had known for years, and learned that the New York Circle Line Sightseeing Yachts had already begun ferrying passengers to that location.

After touring the Samoan Mission, McKay and Cannon briefly separated. While Cannon sailed to New Zealand to secure their future travel itinerary and steamship tickets, McKay headed to neighboring Tonga alone. Fearing a measles outbreak, McKay and his fellow passengers were forced to endure two weeks of quarantine on a remote islet near Nukualofa at the behest of the local government. McKay’s long, hot days were enlivened by exploring coral beds, reading Shakespeare, and holding religious services. When the confinement ended, McKay visited the islands of Tongatapu, Vavau, and Haapai to inspect church plantations, schools, and the mission home. His interisland voyages were often conducted on subpar boats, piloted by less-than-sober captains in perilous weather. At the end of his tour, McKay boarded a steamer for New Zealand.

<em>Abstract</em>.—In Lake Martin (16,000 ha), Alabama, black bass <em>Micropterus </em>spp. tournaments occur nearly every weekend at a single site (Wind Creek State Park [WCSP]), which could cause fish to accumulate at this release site and potentially cause negative impacts to the population. Over a 7-month period, nearly 6,600 tour-nament-caught largemouth bass <em>M. salmoides </em>and spotted bass <em>M. punctulatus </em>were injected with a coded wire tag at different body locations before release at WCSP. After release, black bass were collected with electrofishing up to 1.5 years following release at 0–10 km from the release site and scanned for a tag. Although variable, a substantial proportion (10–70%) of tournament-caught black bass comprised the black bass population within 3 km of WCSP up to 3 months after release. After 3 months, proportions of tagged black bass within 10 km of WCSP decreased dramatically and by an order of magnitude after 1 year, which strongly suggested that these fish dispersed from WCSP. Over a 2- to 70-d period after release from a tournament, relative weights of tournament-released black bass were typically less than fish not released in tournaments. In addition, we collected and aged black bass throughout Lake Martin; relative weights of both black bass species were less and spotted bass growth was lower within 10 km of WCSP compared to other regions of Lake Martin. Even though black bass dispersed from the WCSP release site, these negative population effects were attributed to the constant translocation and accumulation of tournament-caught fish in this region of Lake Martin. In water bodies such as Lake Martin where mass translocation of black bass occurs annually at a single site, the use of live-release boats to transport tournament-caught black bass and the promotion and use of alternative release sites should be encouraged to reduce possible localized negative population effects.

Abstract:
It was a quiet day in the summer of 1983 when the shots rang out in Robson Bight. Just minutes earlier, researcher Dave Briggs had been watching A4 pod visiting the rubbing beaches. The orcas had then headed in the direction of nearby purse seine vessels, and something had clearly gone wrong. Rushing down to the water, Briggs signaled a nearby whale-watching boat, which picked him up and motored out to investigate. Soon after, two orcas approached the vessel. It was the pod’s matriarch, A10, and her young calf, A47, both of whom had been shot. The horrified passengers watched as the injured mother pushed her child toward the tour boat. “We could see the wound oozing blood,” Briggs recounted. “It really seemed that she was showing us: Look what you humans have done.” Jim Borrowman learned of the shooting within minutes. An environmental activist and whale-watching entrepreneur based in nearby Telegraph Cove, he jumped into his Zodiac—a small, inflatable boat—and raced to the area. “I saw A10 with a bullet hole in the side of her face,” he recalled. “I just couldn’t believe it.” Over the years, Borrowman had seen many gunshot wounds on orcas, but this seemed a senseless act of violence reminiscent of an earlier era. Appearances aside, the incident underscored how far the human relationship with the species had come. No longer the indistinguishable black masses of the past, each orca in the Pacific Northwest now had an alphanumeric label, a family tree, and even affectionate nicknames. Once considered menacing pests, killer whales had become symbols of the region’s new environmental values and prime attractions for its tourist industry. Writing in the early 1980s, naturalist Erich Hoyt had little doubt that the display of killer whales at oceanariums had caused this shift. “The most important result of the captiveorca era has been the almost overnight change in public opinion,” he observed. “People today no longer fear and hate the species; they have fallen in love with them.”

Abstract:
This chapter analyses the Buffalo-Niagara region that boasts an incredibly rich architectural heritage as a cornerstone of the area's attempts to rebrand itself as a tourist destination. It places Buffalo in the midst of a so-called renaissance, and urban planners, real estate developers, and city boosters, which identify historic architecture and tourism as key components to urban revitalization. It also mentions architectural tours that have been instrumental in identifying Buffalo as a place with momentum for the first time in decades. The chapter talks about the press that generates both local and outsider interest in Buffalo's architectural heritage, which was evidenced by popular articles in the New York Times, the Guardian, and USA Today. It recounts the long historical tradition of architectural tourism at industrial sites in the Buffalo-Niagara region at the turn of the twentieth century.

Abstract:
Iceland is becoming a popular venue for nature-based tourism enthusiasts interested in exploring Arctic environments for scenic and recreational purposes (ITB 2009; Gossling and Alkimou 2006). Visitation to Iceland is expanding exponentially, generating significant revenue and income, making tourism the third largest foreign currency earner for the Icelandic economy. In 2006, total tourism receipts were measured at 47 billion Icelandic kroner (ISK), contributing 4.1 per cent to the nation’s GDP, and providing 12.7 per cent of the country’s income from foreign sources (Rannsoknir and Radgjof Ferdapjonustunnar 2008). In 2007, over 530,000 international tourists visited Iceland with over 80 per cent first-time visitors mainly from Europe and North America (Rannsoknir and Radgjof Ferdapjonustunnar 2008). The Icelandic Tourism Board (ITB 2007) identifies that the vast natural resources - glaciers, volcanos, geysers, and untamed wilderness - are some of the most important reasons contributing to the present 7 percent annual growth rate in visitation (Gossling and Hultman 2006). The most popular leisure activity of visitors is nature observation (ITB 2007). Outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, boat tours, jeep and glacier tours, snowmobile excursions, and horseback riding are also popular throughout the island. Overall, visitor motivation to Iceland is based on romanticized notions of the unique wilderness and the grandness of the landscape and tourist experiences that recreate a ‘natural’ image of the island (Gossling and Alkimou 2006; Gossling and Hultman 2006).

Abstract:
In order to demonstrate some of the multiple nodes that must be considered in any construction of a meaningful theory of ‘cinéma-monde’ (production, narrative, economic context; the migration of films, filmmakers, and actors), this chapter explores floating ‘francophone’ films. In these films, cinéma-monde is not mapped exclusively along the boundaries of French-speaking countries, regions, or zones, nor is it exclusively extra-Hexagonal. These ‘boat films’ are set on small vessels (L'iceberg by Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy, 2005, Belgium) and freighters, which circulate goods but also people and languages – Diego Star (Frédérick Pelletier, 2013, Canada/Belgium), and Fidelio, l'odyssée d'Alice (Lucie Borleteau, 2014, France) – or narrate the perilous crossing by sea to European territory, as in Harragas (Merzak Alouache, 2009, Algeria/France) and La pirogue (Moussa Touré, 2012, France/Senegal/Germany). This chapter theorizes sea voyages for work and migration within the context of contemporary border theories, North-South migration debates, and cinematic production networks.

Abstract:
AlN has attracted much attention in the past few years as a highly promising material for electronic and opto-electronic device applications. A halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) system has been designed to grow high quality aluminum nitride layers at the growth rate up to 60 μm/h with the deposition temperature of 1000–1100°C and the pressure ranging of 5.5–760 Torr [1]. A 3-D numerical model that is capable of describing multi-component fluid flow, surface chemistry, conjugate heat transfer, and species transport has been developed to help in design and optimization of the epitaxy growth system. The effects of reactor pressure on heat transfer and reactive mixing process are studied. The effects of carrier gas (N2+H2) and reacting gas (AlCl3+NH3) flow rates on species mixing process and deposition uniformity have also been investigated. To achieve a uniform reactive species distribution above the substrate under a high carrier and reacting gases flow rate, a baffle is added in between the adduct boat and the substrate. Different baffle sizes, shapes and locations are tested to examine the optional conditions for the best uniformity.
