To restore or not? A valuation of social and ecological functions of the Marais des Baux wetland in Southern France
No full textThe Marais des Baux wetland in southern France has for centuries been subject to drainage, almost causing its entire disappearance. With an increasing awareness of wetland ecosystem services, the extensive drainage is being questioned today. To guide policy-makers and landowners in their decision-making, we use a Choice Experiment to elicit the preferences of the general public for potential land use and activity changes in the Marais des Baux. These changes concern wetland restoration, the extent of tree hedges, recreational opportunities, mosquito control and biodiversity.
Grand Marais Recreation Park Master Plan
No full textGrand Marais: Park Board.This is a bullet-point summary of current and proposed future uses to the park. Key points are that water-based activities be prioritized. Facilities that do not need waterfront access should be relocated (animal shelter, public works storage garage etc.). Shoreland vegetation and historic sites should be preserved. Future harbor development should be anticipated.Grand Marais Park Board. (2009). Grand Marais Recreation Park Master Plan.

Die invloed van die Boland op die werk van Eugène N. Marais
No full textThe influence of the Boland on the work of Eugène N. MaraisEugène N. Marais (1871-1936), the famous Afrikaans poet, prose writer, journalist, lawyer, morphinist and expert on animal behaviour, spent three years in the Boland, a region in the Western Cape of South Africa, where he completed his schooling. The available information about this period introduces the reader to Marais’s Huguenot roots and crucial infl uences during his youth such as his early writing and journalism, the then debating societies and people becoming aware of language rights. A fewof Marais’s short stories were set in the Boland or show traces of this background. The fact that Marais was able to become a successful journalist at a very young age shortly after he left the Boland to settle in Pretoria in the former Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), also testifi es that his formative years as a pupil of the current Hoër Jongenskool Paarl were very fruitful, as was exposure to the region’s educational and cultural life.Eugène N. Marais (1871–1936), die beroemde Afrikaanse digter, prosaskrywer, joernalis, regsgeleerde, kenner van dieregedrag en morfi nis, het drie jaar lank in die Boland, in die Wes-Kaap van Suid-Afrika, deurgebring en daar sy skoolopleiding voltooi. Die beskikbare inligting oor hierdie tydperk laat die leser kennis maak met Marais se Hugenote-wortels en deurslaggewende invloede soos sy vroeë skryfwerk en joernalistiek, die destydse debatsverenigings en bewuswording van taalregte. ’n Aantal van Marais se kortverhale speel ook in die Boland af of vertoon spore van hierdie agtergrond. Die feit dat Marais in staat was om op ’n baie vroeë leeftyd ’n suksesvolle joernalis te word kort nadat hy die Boland verlaat het om hom in die eertydse Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) te vestig, getuig daarvan dat sy vormende jare as ’nleerling aan die huidige Hoër Jongenskool Paarl en blootstelling aan die streek se opvoedkundige en kulturele lewe baie vrugbaar was
Eugène N. Marais and the Waterberg Cycad (Encephalartos eugene-maraisii Verdoorn)
No full textIn this article the discovery of the Waterberg cycad (Encephalartos eugene-maraisii Verdoorn) is discussed. The role that Eugène N. Marais (1871-1936) had played to introduce this plant to science, confirms the contribution of the informed “amateur” in the community. It also demonstrates that Marais had exceptional observational abilities and was able to realise the value of his observations. Furthermore, it illustrates the continuous tension between functional and scientific writing, in which case one always casts a shadow over the other (or that the reader is constantly aware of one, while he or she is engaged with the other). The so-called Marais myth had been created by both himself and other people, but the story (and oral history) of the discovery of the Waterberg cycad contributes to a rectification of the myth of Marais-the-quack/charlatan/swindler and attest to his knowledgeableness.
Opsomming
In hierdie artikel word die ontdekking van die Waterbergse broodboom (Encephalartos eugene-maraisii Verdoorn) bespreek. Die rol wat Eugène N. Marais (1871-1936) gespeel het om hierdie plant aan die wetenskap bekend te stel, bevestig die waarde van die ingeligte “amateur” in die gemeenskap. Dit bevestig ook dat Marais oor besondere waarnemingsvermoë beskik het en in staat was om die waarde van sy waarnemings te begryp. Terselfdertyd illustreer dit die voortdurende spanning tussen funksionele en wetenskaplike skryfwerk by Marais, sodat die een gedurig ’n skadu werp oor die ander (of dat die leser gedurig bewus is van die een, terwyl hy besig is met die ander). Die sogenaamde Marais-mite is deur sowel homself as deur ander persone geskep, maar die verhaal (of mondelinge geskiedenis) van die ontdekking van die Waterbergse broodboom dra by tot ’n regstelling van die mite van Marais-die-kwaksalwer/charlatan/boere-verneuker en getuig van sy kundigheid
