A9780309368520Paperback / softback. New. There are many connections between human communities and their surrounding environments that influence community resilience and health in the Gulf of Mexico. The impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Gulf communities and ecosystems - coupled with the region's preexisting health challenges and environmental stressors - illustrate the need to better understand these connections. In the future natural and man-made disasters climate change impacts and other environmental stressors will present complex challenges to the physical mental and social well-being of communities in the Gulf. Understanding the interrelationships among health ecological and economic impacts of disasters and other environmental stressors will be crucial to addressing these challenges. Opportunities for the Gulf Research Program: Community Resilience and Health summarizes a Gulf Research Program workshop held on September 22-23 2014 in New Orleans Louisiana. The workshop examined opportunities to improve the health well-being and resilience of communities in the Gulf region through discussions with about 50 participants with diverse expertise and experience. These discussions identified perceived needs challenges and opportunities that align with the Gulf Research Program's mission and goals - particularly its goal to improve understanding of the connections between human health and the environment to support the development of health and resilient Gulf communities. This workshop is expected to lead to the development of additional Program activities and opportunities for the research community. paperback

Includes coastal views of Ras Al Hadd Sur Qalhat As Suwaiq Sohar Fujairah Khasab the Tunb Islands Abu Musa Sirri Island Al Jazirah Al Hamra Al Shebeakah Rams Ajman Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi Sir Bani Yas the Doha Fort Bahrain Harbour and Tarut Island amongst others.<br /><br />The guide was published to give accurate sailing directions to the ports towns and safe anchorages along the Arabian coast from Ras al Hadd on the eastern peninsular of Oman to Shatt al Arab in the North and back along the coast of Iran to Bandar Abbas and beyond. With much early information on the principal settlements of the United Arab Emirates Qatar Bahrain Kuwait and Oman and an interesting glossary of Arabic-English key terms.<br /><br />By 1955 it was clear how the oil boom had changed the economy of the region. The first chapter gives an overview and includes the character of the sea and ports description of major towns and cities and their respective populations for example 18000 in Qatar the main economic imports and exports of each locale and considerable weather information.<br /><br />Dubai is described as well as Daira: 'Daira is a large suburb consisting of mat huts amongst which stand a number of well-built houses.' 'Dibai Dubai contains the residence of the Shaikh. There are several tall towers in Dibai; the fort is a conspicuous square building with a round tower. from which the Shaikh's flag is displayed. There is a hospital.'<br /><br />Abu Dhabi is similarly described: 'This town consists for the most part of huts and extends along the coast for nearly two miles. In the town there is a small fort partially surrounded by trees with five towers close together. The coast in the vicinity of Abu Dhabi is very low and the beach is of white sand'. The fort is given it's own view on one of the plates. The great pearl bank is also given attention: 'this extensive bank. fills the great bight in the southern part of the Persian Gulf.' 'Many islands both close to the coast and far offshore lie on the bank. With the exception of Dalma none has permanent inhabitants though they are frequented by the pearl boats during the summer and by fisherman from Abu Dhabi in the winter.' 'The best pilots for the coast are to be obtained at Abu Dhabi.'<br /><br />Much detail is also given to Qatar and Doha: 'This town situated on the southern side of the harbour is the capital of Al Qatar peninsula and had a population in 1947 of about 12000.' ' The Shaik's palace. is a large building with many colonnades and an open balustrade round its roof.' ' The chief exports are gutch fish and pearls; imports are food timber and manufactured goods.'<br /><br />Bahrain is also described with Manama being called the 'principal town and port' and as well as the trade being described there is also note of the health of the region: 'Manama is more liable to epidemics than the smaller ports; since 1920 however there have been no more epidemics in Bahrain than in any other of the larger Gulf ports.' It is interesting also that one of the major changes of the supplement is changing the name 'Bahrein' to 'Bahrain'.<br /><br />Kuwait is described as greatly altered by the oil wealth: ' Wealth derived from oil revenues is being spent on completely replanning and rebuilding the town. Government offices schools hospitals electric generating and water distillation stations private houses and blocks of flats are all being built in the most modern style'. 'Pearl fishing is now practically extinct. There are to all intents and purposes no exports. The chief imports are food of all kinds machinery motor vehicles and building materials.'<br /> London, Hydrographic Department, Admiralty, 1955. hardcover
