“…Foreign tourism is a critical component of the overall U.S. tourism picture. Total foreign visitation to the United States increased by 76 percent between 1985 and 1995 (from 25.8 million to 45.5 million) and in 1986, the United States was the world's most popular tourist destination (Miller and Auyong, 1991;Miller, 1993). More than 90 percent of visitation by foreign tourists takes place in states "where beaches are the leading tourist destination" (Houston, 1996).…”

About This Report For More InformationThis report examines underlying and emerging trends that are shaping the coast, coastal resources and uses, and coastal management and policy. Past and projected trends are presented in population and settlement; economic activity; social values; resources; environmental quality; hazards; and governance and management. An effort is made to use enough contextual information so that the data convey a story about the present and future of the nation's coasts. AcknowledgmentsMany staff members of the National Ocean Service Special Projects Office contributed to this paper in important ways by identifying information sources, contributing data and analysis, or providing critical technical support. The following individuals obtained and provided information: Suzanne Bricker and Chris Clement (eutrophication), Timothy Goodspeed (marine pollution), Miranda Harris (coastal hazards, marine recreation), Vernon Leeworthy (marine recreation), John Hayes (social trends), Percy Pacheco (water quality), Davida Remer (governance and management), Craig Russell (energy and minerals), John Paul Tolson (various) and Peter Wiley (marine aquaculture, marine recreation). Blair Bower and Timothy Goodspeed reviewed the manuscript and made numerous helpful suggestions. Davida Remer and Craig Russell designed and incorporated the figures and tables. Pam Rubin edited the report and designed the cover. The authors also wish to acknowledge the contribution of Daniel J. Basta, Director of the Special Projects Office, who supported the effort and made the resources available.

“…Its benefits range from local economic development to the fostering of conservation-friendly attitudes in the general populace (Miller 1993, Orams 1995, Mangel et al 1996, Barkin 2003, Kiss 2004, Jones 2005, Krueger 2005). However, ecotourism activity also has the potential to adversely affect a target species by creating a disturbance which significantly alters an animal's behaviour.…”

Ecotourism operations which provide food to large predators have the potential to negatively affect their target species, by conditioning them to associate humans with food, or by generally altering their behavioural patterns. This latter effect could have potentially detrimental consequences for the ecosystem inhabited by the predator, because any behavioural changes could affect the species with which they interact. We present the results of an experimental study conducted from June to October 2004, which examined the effects of provisioning ecotourism on the behaviour of white sharks around a seal colony on a small island in South Africa. Although ecotourism activity had an effect on the behaviour of some sharks, this was relatively minor, and the majority of sharks showed little interest in the food rewards on offer. It is unlikely that conditioning would occur from the amount of ecotourism activity tested, because even those sharks identified supplying most of the data presented here (which may be more strongly predisposed towards conditioning, as their persistence around the boat is what allowed them to be identified) showed a nearly ubiquitous trend of decreasing response with time. Furthermore, even the sharks frequently acquiring food rewards typically stopped responding after several interactions. Consequently, moderate levels of ecotourism probably have only a minor impact on the behaviour of white sharks, and are therefore unlikely to create behavioural effects at the ecosystem level.

“…Deniz turizmi kavramı kruvaziyer dışında su kayağı, rüzgâr sörfü, dalış, yüzme, deniz parklarına yapılan tur gibi birçok aktiviteyi de içermektedir (Diakomihalis, 2007). Yüzyıllardan beri deniz, rekreasyon aktiviteleri için temel kaynak olmuş ve gitgide gelişim göstermiştir (Miller, 1993;Orams, 1999Orams, , 2007. 3S olarak da adlandırılan deniz, kum ve güneş, turizmin gelişiminde son 50 yıldır önemli rol oynamaktadır (Miller ve Auyong, 1991).…”

“…tarım, yerleşim bölgeleri ve endüstriyel yatırım amaçlı kullanılan alanların ve kıyıların üzerindeki baskısını artırmaktadır (Miller, 1993;Warner, 1999). Deniz turizmi konusunda ekonomik ve çevresel etkilerin farkındalığının ve sürdürülebilirlik bilincinin artmasına rağmen, bu alanda yapılan araştırmalar az sayıdadır (Hall, 2001).…”
