1 Introduction

1.1 This report This report constitutes the record of proceedings on the consultative stakeholder workshops held as part of the process of compiling the 2012 South Africa Environment Outlook (SAEO). It is divided into two parts. Part A details the proceedings of the provincial workshops while Part B is the record of the national workshop proceedings. These proceedings are part of the inception phase which is the first of four phases, and focuses on stakeholder consultation and determining the scope of work. The inputs from stakeholders are meant to culminate in an inception report that will define the terms of reference for the 2012 report process.

1.2 Preparing for the workshops Two discussion documents were prepared for the workshops. The Provincial Planning Workshops detailed issues and indicators for the marine and coastal theme. The discussion document for the National Planning Workshop focused on all the themes that were reported on in the 2006 SAEO report. Prior to the workshops these documents were circulated to participants to stimulate thinking and discussion on key aspects of the 2012 SAEO. The discussion documents detailed the background, objectives and scope of the 2012 SAEO process as well as key questions for consideration at the workshops. Appendices to the document included the themes, issues and indicators that were reported on in the 2006 SAEO.

1.3 About the workshops Three workshops were held between 19 October and 3 November 2010. Two 1-day provincial workshops were held in Cape Town and Durban to consult with the coastal provinces on marine and coastal management issues. Stakeholders in the Northern Cape and Western Cape provinces were invited to attend the Cape Town workshop whereas stakeholders in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces were invited to attend the Durban workshop. These workshops were held on 19 and 21 October 2010 respectively.

A national workshop was then held over 1.5 days on 2 – 3 November 2010. This workshop principally focussed on a review of the issues and indicators reported on in the 2006 SAEO and the identification of emerging or new issues to be covered in the 2012 SAEO.

The workshops were attended by a range of stakeholders as reflected in the attendance registers attached in Appendix I.

The workshops comprised plenary and breakaway sessions. Break away groups were facilitated by the project team from SRK and PDG while scribing and reporting was undertaken by participants.

The objectives and outcomes of the provincial and national workshops are provided in Part A and Part B respectively.

Part A: Provincial workshops

2 Objectives and tasks

This part of the report documents the objectives and the outcomes from the provincial workshops held in Cape Town and Durban.

2.1 Objectives The objective of the stakeholder consultation workshops was to ensure that there is a common understanding and agreement on the following:

Scope of the 2012 SAEO to be compiled;

Reporting framework to be used;

Indicators to be used;

Draft framework or table of contents for the 2012 SAEO;

Main products to be produced; and

Timeframes required to produce the 2012 SAEO and associated products.

2.2 Tasks The Cape Town workshop was attended by 35 participants with 3 facilitated breakaway groups, and the workshop in Durban was attended by 15 participants with 2 facilitated breakaway groups. Given that the provincial workshops only focused on marine and coastal issues, all breakaway groups focused on the same tasks and reported back in plenary.

The tasks for provincial workshops were as follows:

Task 1: Evaluate the list of issues for the theme, and decide for each whether it should/ should not be reported on in the 2012 State of the Environment analysis, i.e. Accept () or Reject ().

Task 2: List any emerging/additional issues to be considered for inclusion in the State of the Environment analysis.

Task 3: For the selected issues, evaluate the list of indicators provided, and decide for each whether it should/should not be used in the 2012 State of the Environment analysis, i.e. Accept ()or Reject ().

Task 4: Considering that the 2012 report is an update of the 2006 National State of the Environment Report, decide which reporting framework (e.g. Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) or Pressure-State-Response (PSR)) you think would be appropriate and why.

Task 5: Assuming the 2012 SAEO update is structured to include a chapter on oceans and coasts, as presented in the discussion document, what information should be represented in this chapter. Use the Table of Contents from the 2006 SAEO as a starting point.

Task 6: Decide on the products to be developed.

3 Outcomes of the provincial workshops

This section details the combined outcomes from the provincial consultative workshops that dealt exclusively with marine and coastal issues. It should be noted that marine and coastal issues were also discussed at the national workshop where they were discussed as part of the breakaway group dealing with the marine and terrestrial thematic area.

3.1 Theme, Issues and Indicators Delegates at the provincial workshops participated in breakaway groups where they were requested to evaluate marine and coastal issues reported on in the 2006 SAEO, modify these where necessary, list emerging and additional issues and provide feedback on related indicators. Groups provided their written response in a template prepared by the project team which was reported upon in a plenary session.

The general sentiment from the provincial workshops was that the 2006 SAEO chapter on Marine and Coastal resources had a strong bias towards fisheries. The majority of participants felt that the 2012 SAEO would need to address this imbalance by also reporting on coastal issues.

Task 1:

The table below lists all issues which were modified in the breakaway groups as presented in the electronic template.

Modified Marine and Coastal Issues

Issue Modified name Motivation

Economic and social value

Social value Social and Cultural Value A large component of coastal resources supports cultural value and knowledge

Modification, degradation and loss of resources (preferable to expand the list to provide a more efficient framework)

Water quality and emissions to sea

Waste and Wastewater Disposal

The modified name provides clarity on the aspects pertaining to oceans and coastal wastewater disposal

Water quality and discharges to sea

Desalination is an issue here. Infrastructure associated with desalination has an impact on coastal land use. Sewerage emissions need to be included here

Water quality (emission to sea is one thing that impacts water quality)

Include: sediment quality, coastal, estuaries, coastal groundwater (much discussion around spatial boundaries)

Expand to sea “and estuaries”

A large amount of emissions is direct into estuaries. Also consider national bathing water guidelines for coastal areas that are to be implemented shortly

Beach driving Pressure on the coastal zone

Beach driving too restrictive in scope – there are other issues. Set back lines (i.e. distance from the high water mark where development can take place) need to be covered here.

Oil pollution Pollution Bilges are pumped out and contain more than just oil. Also diesel and chemical spills. Litter pollution can be a subsection under Pollution

Coastal land use Perhaps include something to bring in “development” and “planning”

To include coastal development, planning. Also needs to be related to climate change and sea level rise, increased storminess etc.


8


Include: illegal land use (e.g. Wild coast), sand winning as a mining issue

Exploitation and use Illegal catches and over-fishing

Harvesting There is overlap with Protection and Management below. Need to include here the impact of harvesting in breeding areas, especially in estuaries and rivers. By-catch also needs to be considered here. Collecting of brood stock for aquaculture could be mentioned here

Non consumptive use

Inappropriate non-consumptive use

The modification should not mix/confuse value with pressure

Protection and management Marine protected areas

Protected areas To include coastal protection zone and terrestrial-based areas

Task 2:

All issues which were listed as emerging and hence needed to be considered for inclusion in the 2012 report are presented on the table below. The text is extracted verbatim from the templates completed by each breakaway group.

Emerging/additional marine and coastal issues

Emerging/additional issue Motivation Movement to coastal areas No motivation given by group

Cultural heritage No motivation given by group

Threat status

Possibly create more sub-issues under this theme (check SANBI’s National Biodiversity Assessment 2010)

Institutional networking

Multi-level and cross-sectoral collaboration amongst the various spheres of government

Institutional monitoring and capacity

The need to gauge the success of implementation of legislation as well as the adherence to standards and guidelines amongst various functions

Natural regulatory services (ecosystem services)

Vital for our well-being and the well-being of the planet.

Coastal modification E.g. mining, breakwaters, illegal structures, reclamation. These are major factors impacting on coastlines.

Aquaculture This sector is growing and requires monitoring. It has a wide variety of environmental impacts.

Exploitation of non-renewable resources (non-living)

Prospecting, exploration and mining. E.g. oil, diamonds, processing of sand.

Funding and capacity There needs to be a focus on funding and capacity Habitat loss

Include what is going on the dry side ... coastal grasslands, coastal forests, dunes etc


9

Emerging/additional issue Motivation Dredging and dredge spoil disposal No motivation given by group Add “legal” consumptive use as an issue (e.g. mussels, subsistence, small scale fishers, etc)

No motivation given by group

Water quantity

Freshwater to coastal systems (rivers, estuaries and marine). Include sediment inputs to these systems

Desalination as an issue, reverse osmosis plants

Increasingly being turned to as a source of freshwater, facilitates coastal development in areas previously not “accessible”, impacts and energy implications are not fully understood and no national policy

Availability of research findings (information availability and flow)

Research funding into coastal systems (social, economic, ecological), and flow of info not great. Not immediately available, need for effective management.

Task 3

The groups evaluated the indicators presented in the template. Consolidated outcomes of these discussions are presented in the table below.

3.2 Table of contents The discussion document prepared for the workshops proposed a table of contents for the SAEO 2012 drawing on global, regional and national state of the environment reports such as the Global Environment Outlook (2003); the Africa Environment Outlook (2006); Southern Africa Environment Outlook (2008); and the South Africa Environment Outlook (2006). Largely, participants in the provincial workshops did not radically change the table of contents proposed by DEA for the 2012 report.

Workshop Group 1 Group 2 Group 3

Cape Town Accepted the table of contents as presented

PSR framework with a section on the description of the oceans and coasts and the concomitant values.

Accepted the table of content subject to the changes made in Tasks 1 –

Durban Follow DPSIR Accepted the table of content subject to the changes made in Tasks 1 – 3.

No group 3

3.3 Reporting framework On this task, participants discussed and recommended the reporting framework for the 2012 Report. The views of participants were mixed on which framework to use. The outcome of the discussion was as follows:

In Cape Town: 2 of the 3 groups at the workshop preferred the DPSIR format; and

In Durban: 1 of the 2 groups at the workshop preferred the DPSIR and the other group recommended a hybrid of DPSR and PSR.

A summary discussion per group is attached as Appendix II.

3.4 Products to be developed The products to be developed and their usefulness were discussed in both workshops. This discussion took place in plenary in the Cape Town workshop while the Durban participants discussed this issue in their groups. The outcomes of the discussion regarding products are as follows:

Consider using another language and another form of the product;

Make a simple video of the key issues contained in the report;

Place issue summaries on social websites such as Facebook;

Youth Report should consider the “informal” youth older than school going but younger than 35 and explore development interactive games;

Executive summary should be made available in different languages (to include illustrations);

Produce a hard copy version;

Produce an electronic report version;

Actively publishing in various media, popular articles, TV, radio, posters in appropriate places, airline magazines; and

Link the products with Indalo Yethu: there is a need to develop an “environmental mascot”.

Summary table reflecting the discussions from the provincial workshops is attached as Appendix II.

Part B: National workshop

1 Objectives and tasks

1.1 This part documents the objectives and the outcomes of the national workshop held in Gauteng as mentioned on 2 and 3 November 2010.Objectives

The following are the objectives of the national workshop which were presented by the DEA:

Taking stock of key issues arising from the 2006 SAEO;

Identifying areas that require in-depth consideration “headline issues”;

Developing a framework for the 2012 SAEO; and

Determining the extent and scope of unique provincial and local government considerations.

1.2 Tasks The national workshop was attended by 63 participants with 5 facilitated thematic groups on the first day and 4 groups on the second day. Day 1 of the workshop was spent on themes, issues and indicators and Day 2 focused on the proposed table of contents; reflecting on how provincial issues should be captured in the report; reporting framework; and possible products to be produced. The thematic groups were as follows:

Terrestrial and Marine (including land, biodiversity and marine and coastal)

Water

Atmosphere and Energy (including climate change, air quality and energy)

Environmental Governance

Socio-economic (including human settlements, social environment, service delivery and infrastructure).

The tasks for each breakaway group for the national workshop were as follows:

Task 1: Evaluate the list of the 2006 issues provided for your themes, and decide for each whether it should/ should not be reported on in the 2012 State of the Environment analysis, i.e. Accept ()or Reject ().

Task 2: List any emerging/additional issues for your theme to be considered for inclusion in the SoE analysis.

Task 3: Select three key issues from task 1 and report on the progress of each.

Task 4: For the issues selected in Task 1, evaluate the list of indicators provided, and decide for each whether it should/should not be used in the 2012 State of the Environment analysis, i.e. Accept ()or Reject ().


15

Task 5: Considering that the 2012 report is an update of the 2006 National State of the Environment Report, decide which reporting framework (e.g. Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) or Pressure-State-Response (PSR)) you think would be appropriate and why.

Task 6: How should the provincial issues be reflected in the 2012 SAEO.

Task 7: Propose Table of Contents for the 2012 SAEO.

Task 8:

Decide on the products to be developed.

Each of the breakaway groups was requested to fill in their responses to the above tasks in an electronic template provided to them.

2 Outcomes of the national workshop

This section details the combined outcomes from the consultative workshops. The outcomes from each breakaway group are presented below. This report focuses on the high level discussions as the outcomes will be further refined during the writing process.

2.1 Theme, Issues and Indicators Participants at the national workshops worked in thematic groups as outlined in the sub-sections that follow below. Each thematic group spent the first day on tasks 1 – 4 evaluating issues and modifying them (if necessary); listing emerging/additional issues; reporting progress since 2006 on 3 key issues; and deciding on indicators for each issue. Report-backs were taken at the end of the first day of the workshop.

It must be noted that considerable time was spent on issues and emerging issues. Even though time was spent on evaluating indicators, this exercise proved to be very time-consuming and as such some of the groups did not complete this task.

The sections that follow provide a summary of whether issues were accepted, rejected or modified is given for each of the specified themes. There were some problems experienced with the indicators, e.g. time allocated to accomplish the tasks and lack of clarity. It was felt that indicators for some of the themes did not accurately capture those reported on in the 2006 SAEO. As a result, some groups did not complete the exercise of evaluating the indicators. This report therefore details the indicators insofar as they were discussed by groups. Indicators that are reported on here are those that were modified and those that were proposed as new. The project team and DEA decided that the Inception Report will contain a revised table of issues and indicators.

2.1.1 Socio-economic theme

The Socio-economic theme includes human settlements, social environment, service delivery and infrastructure.

The table below is a summary of the outcomes on socio-economic issues. It lists all the issues that were discussed by the group as part of the template that was prepared for the workshop. No issues were ejected by the group.

Task 1

Issues that were modified by this group are presented on the table below.

: Modified issues on water


Sub-theme: water issues in South Africa

Opportunities for developing water resources

Diversification of water resources. Is “developing” the correct word here?

Other factors affecting availability and requirements - Land use and planning

Ensure that phrasing encompasses the relevant activities.

Key issue: Excluding land uses based on water availability in catchments. Flag specific land uses due to their impact e.g. mining Environmental costs of addressing these issues (e.g. acid mine drainage) Local governments as a source of/contributor to water pollution Innovation by private companies cost savings etc.


21

Task 2:

The issues on the following table were added as emerging issues by this group.

Emerging/additional issues on water

EMERGING / ADDITIONAL ISSUE

MOTIVATION

Conservation and water demand management – new developments.

Targets to be set for various water use sectors for curtailing water losses and water usage. Under DWA growth and development framework. Reduce water losses to 15% across the country.

Diversification of water resources and potential economic opportunities and benefits.

Secure continuous supply of water, economic growth and employment etc.

National freshwater ecosystem priority areas study. (currently underway)

Will be a very important study when completed.

Use of groundwater – impacts, need to recharge aquifers etc.

Recharge of groundwater is a key issue to prevent depletion of this resource.

Desalination - environmental impacts, costs, energy use.

Increasingly implemented – expense and environmental costs need to be accounted for.

Acid mine water

Lack of enforcement and monitoring resulting in acid mine water. Other areas could be impacted later (e.g. Mpumalanga coal mining).

Urban river health River quality is reaching unmanageable stages. Impact and effect on informal settlements. E.g. Bruma lake, Centurion lake, Hennops river, Jukskei river, Kliprivier, Eerste River (CT).

Co-operative governance (between departments and between spheres of government, neighbouring municipalities etc)

Cross boundary issues relating to catchments, river quality, pollution etc. Integrated licensing (WULA and EIA). Mining and prospecting rights. Fluoridation (future plan by Health Dept) - Persistence of fluoride in the environment – health and environmental impacts.

Wetlands Wetlands are important in terms of ecosystems and water quality in hydrological system.

Task 3

The water group evaluated indicators and modified some as presented in the table below. All indicators were accepted and ten indicators were “Modified”. No indicator was rejected by this group. Twelve indicators were identified as “New”. (Text in olive green is the modified/ added text)

: Indicators for water issues


Sub-theme: Water situation in South Africa

Task 4:

The three key water issues selected by this group as well as the progress on them are presented on the table below.

Progress on key issues on water

Key issue Progress

Impacts on water resources. There has been an improvement in the management of mine water through recycling and reuse of water and rehabilitation of mines. Attention is being given to managing the effect of discharging wastewater into river systems, e.g. discharging in rainy seasons. Dam capacity size is a limiting factor. Water losses due to evaporation. There is a realisation that monthly reporting enhances transparency. There has been progress in strengthening systems, although pollution can never be prevented totally. Quality of treated wastewater sometimes exceeds quality of river system that it is discharged into.

Other factors affecting availability and requirements – land use and planning, regulations and policy.

There is a move to exclude land uses based on water availability in catchments. Specific land uses are being flagged due to their impact, e.g. mining, due to the environmental costs of addressing issues such as AMD. There is an acknowledgement that local government is a source of and contributor to water pollution. There has been a growing trend of innovation by private companies to effect cost savings, which is not necessarily legislation driven. Land use planning aims to enforce minimum criteria of best practices. Progress has been made in planning, but significant challenges still exist. There is a lack of expertise to manage water issues. Are future generations being trained to address these issues? There is an imbalance between expertise in the private sector and expertise in government, with government having to use old technology. Government is slow to respond to new technologies and new threats. Engineering component of planning is limited. There have been a number of planning initiatives such as the CCT that focuses on chemical phosphate removal upstream of sensitive environments.

Co-operative governance – integration and licensing issues, cross boundary issues. Including public and private interactions.

Progress in building capacity towards enforcement and monitoring. Implementation is not yet at ideal standard. Parliamentary portfolio committee made presentations in local areas (e.g. West Rand district) on water issues related to mining. Inter-ministerial committee on acid mine drainage formed – awaiting public version of report on this issue. Private stakeholders forming part of catchment management fora.

Theme: Marine and coastal Protection and Management Threat status

Uncertainty on whether it is a threat to species and/or habitat hence both we included – this has been moved to a new sub-theme “Status of Marine Living resources and ecosystems”

Task 1

This group modified one issue as presented in the table below.

: Modified issues on marine and terrestrial


Status of marine living and non-living resources and ecosystems

Threat status (habitat) Threat status (species)

Keep the name but expand on the issue

Expand and explore methods to determine the ecosystem health indicators such as top predators, seabirds, seals, etc. There is a big gap identified which needs to be addressed going forward. A comprehensive “Ecosystem Approach to Resource Management”


33

Task 2: Emerging/additional issues on Marine and Terrestrial


Land desertification Land transformation is addressed under “Land use” above Marine ecosystems Estuarine systems

Marine, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems have been added as they are different ecosystems

Terrestrial ecosystems Freshwater ecosystems (rivers and wetlands) Coastal ecosystem

All the ecosystems are assessed and it will be good to have alignment with the “National Biodiversity Assessment.”

Coastal species Coastal species has been added to ensure that it does not “fall” through the cracks although there is acknowledgement that it will be difficult to assess the coastal species. There is a need to differentiate between the coastal and marine species e.g. intertidal, breeding on land, feeding at sea, etc)

Expanding protected areas including conservation on private and communal land

Expanded protected areas were excluded/omitted. Biodiversity Stewardship Initiative that encourages the communal land and private owners to conserve/protect their land and offered necessary support.

Threat status (species) To include the species and the habitat. The sub-theme was originally not included.

Mainstreaming biodiversity priorities in land use planning and decision making. (NEW ISSUE UNDER the SUBTHEME “Responding to biodiversity loss)

Loss of natural habitat is the main cause of biodiversity loss in the terrestrial environment. Use existing maps of critical biodiversity areas to inform the SDF (Spatial development framework), IDP (Integrated Dev. Plans), EIAs, EMFs (Environmental Management Framework, etc.

Expansion of wild game farming (sector)

This concerns an emergence of game farming as a practice which leads to change in land use, biodiversity, and other environmental aspects. This is an issue that straddles between agriculture and environmental departments

The task of evaluating indicators was not fully completed by the group due to lack of clarity as mentioned under section 2.1. The task was referred back to the plenary for clarification. Due to time constraints, this issue was not addressed by the workshop but has since been discussed by the project team (SRK and PDG) and DEA. This issue is further addressed in the Inception Report. The table below presents only the tasks that were completed by this group (text in olive green for ease of reference). No motivation was provided.

Task 4

The three key marine and coastal issues that were selected by this group as well the progress made on them is presented on the table below.

: Progress on key issues marine and terrestrial

Key issue Progress

Status of freshwater ecosystems

Freshwater ecosystems are on the whole more threatened than terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The recently completed National Freshwater Ecosystem Priority Areas project (NFEPA) identifies sub-catchments that are most important to keep in a healthy natural state and has consolidated data on freshwater ecosystems and species nationally.

Marine and coastal ecosystems: economy and services

The marine and coastal environment contributes and provides different services including economy, social, heritage, etc. The ICM Act developed in 2000 and came to effect in 2009 is being, but the responsibilities and capacity (human and infrastructural) are disproportional to the need to enforce the Act stronger.

Land degradation

The currently available datasets and data collection initiatives on the land degradation and deforestation status are outdated. The progress thus far is to set-up a national committee that will device strategies and means on how to collect, report, analyse and distribute the data and make usable products.

2.1.5 Atmosphere and energy theme

This theme included climate change, air quality and energy. This group accepted all the issues reported on, with the exception of “emission from household fuel burning”. The group agreed to incorporate this issue into “sources of atmospheric emission”.

The table below is a summary of the outcomes on atmosphere and energy issues. It lists all the issues that were discussed by the group and captured in the template.


Ambient and indoor air quality

Energy issues were not reported on in the 2006 SAEO and the discussion focused on issues that would be reported on in the 2012 SAEO for the first time. The following issues were listed:

Sources of energy generation (energy mix, % generation by source type);

Emission mitigation from coal fired power generation;

Demand side management programmes (e.g. energy consumption, renewable energy, energy efficiency);

Emission taxes (e.g. carbon tax);

Energy security, reliable supply; and

Energy governance (REFIT, IRP etc.).

Task 2: The emerging/additional issues on atmosphere and energy

Emerging/additional issues to be considered in the 2012 SAEO are presented in the table below.


Mercury Global legally binding instrument will be in place by 2013. South Africa is the 6th

Co-benefits

largest source of mercury emissions in the world.

The co-benefits that are being achieved either by addressing air quality, climate change and energy issues.

Economic implication of climate change / energy

Task 4:

Unlike other groups which selected three key issues as requested, this group selected only one key issue they believed to be the main concern. The key issue is presented on the table below.

Progress on key issues on atmosphere and energy

Key issue Progress

Ambient air quality Variable ambient air quality trends throughout the country, significant progress made in air quality governance (legislative, regulatory, policy, information management) Capacity constraints (human, financial, technical) in government and business

2.2 Table of contents The discussion document prepared for the workshops proposed a table of contents for the SAEO 2012 drawing on global, regional and national state of the environment reports such as the Global Environment Outlook (2003); the Africa Environment Outlook (2006); Southern Africa Environment Outlook (2008); and the South Africa Environment Outlook (2006). Largely, participants in the provincial workshops did not radically change the Table of Contents proposed for the 2012 report.

Participants at the national workshop were requested to propose a table of contents. The groups suggested that the following items be included in the table of contents for the 2012 SAEO:

Executive Summary to be part of the main report

History of state of the environment reporting as part opening sections

A chapter on the 21 largest municipalities

Include headings and sub-headings to enable users to find specific sections they are looking for.

Provide a separate chapter on socio-economic issues


38

Include a discussion on Outcome 10 in the policy context

Include a chapter/section on the growth path of the green economy

Report on the scenarios reported on in 2006

Include a chapter on options for action.

2.3 Reporting framework Participants also had to discuss and decide on the reporting framework for the 2012 SAEO. The delegates discussed the DPSIR and PSR reporting frameworks. The views of participants were mixed on which framework to use. The outcomes of the discussion were as follows:

Provincial workshop in Cape Town: 2 of the 3 groups at the workshop preferred the DPSIR format

Provincial workshop in Durban: 1 of the 2 groups at the workshop preferred the DPSIR and the other group recommended a hybrid of DPSR and PSR.

National workshop in Johannesburg: 2 of the 4 groups preferred the PSIR reporting format as used in the 2006 SAEO report. One group preferred a hybrid of the DPSIR and the PSR and the other group preferred the PSR format.

A summary discussion per group is attached as Appendix III for reference purposes.

2.4 Reflecting on provincial issues Participants differed in their discussion on the matter of how best provincial issues can be reflected on the 2012 SAEO. Points that came out were:

Provincial issues should be reflected in each theme

Provincial issues should be decided on by provinces

National priority issues should be reported for each province.

Participants felt strongly that there should be synergy and alignment between the provincial reporting processes and the national 2012 SAEO process.

2.5 Products to be developed Participants discussed the usefulness of products in breakaway groups. The general sentiment was that different products were useful for different users. The hard copy version of report was useful for reference purposes and was used mostly by officials and students. However the usefulness of the Youth report was questioned. Participants proposed the following ideas regarding product development:

The hard copy version of the report should be kept

The DVD should also be part of the hard copy report

The Youth report version could be converted into a multimedia DVD

Power-point presentations should be prepared for each chapter and made accessible to schools

The technical document should be simple and non-glossy

The executive summary should be fancy

Loose standing chapters should be prepared and made available online


39

Educational materials (e.g. pamphlets and posters) should be prepared for public awareness purposes and translated into other languages

Thematic summaries should be prepared

An interactive toolkit such as the one prepared by WESSA can be developed

Summary tables reflecting the discussions from the provincial and national workshops are attached as Appendices II and III.

3 Conclusion

The level of participation in the workshops was high. The use of smaller breakaway sessions ensured that all participants were able to input into the process. The workshops were all concluded by Ms Anna Mampye who presented the process map for the 2012 SAEO report containing the following phases:

Phase 1: Stakeholder consultation and determining the scope of work

Phase 2: Drafting of the report based on the outcomes of phase 1

Phase 3: Review of the report

Phase 4: Finalisation of the report which includes editing, layout design, printing and publication.

The workshops hosted in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg are part of phase 1 and will inform the preparation of an inception report detailing the scope of work for the 2012 SAEO process.

Participants are encouraged to visit the SoER website http://soer.deat.gov.za to see how the process is progressing and to contact Ms Anna Mampye at DEA on 012-210-3618/395 1757 for more information on the 2012 SAEO process.

Appendix II: Provincial workshops summary discussion on Table of Contents (ToC); Reporting Framework; and Products

Question Cape Town Durban ToC Group 1:

Accept ToC Group 1: Table of contents does not follow the DPSIR framework and should be used.

Important to take into account APPENDIX 4 of the SAEO 2006 for a much broader set of issues that should be addressed in the SoER (national consultation was conducted). (not just exploitation in terms of fisheries)

Group 2: The layout of the current version needs to be re-structured to better reflect the PSR approach preceded by a section on the description of the oceans and coasts and the concomitant values – also refer to Task 1 for additional elements

Group 2: Change ToC based on changes made in Tasks 1 – 3.

Group 3: Accept ToC subject to the changes made in Tasks 1 - 3

Reporting Framework

Group1: DPSIR. Keeping it simple and focusing on the state of environment and linked to scenarios.

Group1: Modified Version Drivers should be generic. Then embark on SPIR. Responses component to include opportunities/ gaps in information collection.

Group2: PSR. Drivers are cross-cutting – deal with that separately

Group 2: DPSIR. Consistency, more comprehensive, must include short user friendly versions (executive summary)

Group3: DPSIR. It is more detailed

Products Plenary discussion: Language and another form of

product Video Social websites Youth report Executive summary

Group 1: Hard report (Y) E report (Y) Electronic (CD) (Y) Summary (executive) (Y) Youth (formatting is NB, consider the

Link to Indalo Yethu: need to develop an “environmental mascot”
