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 t...

An Open Boat is a novel about a woman who sits down one day to confront the central mystery of her life: how she acquired the faith to give birth to a baby she believed she had conceived with a stranger. The story the woman sets out to tell is impelled by wonder and magic--so full of gypsy prophecies, visions, coincidences and timely interventions, she seems hardly aware of the darker forces compelling her life and writing. She discovers, a few pages into her testimony, that the act of writing h...

My result address the problem that getting back up in the boat after one have fallen in can be very difficult. My research led me to focus on the very smallest boats, rowing boats and open motorboats under 6 meters in length. My solution to the problem is to provide an easily attached footstep that can be reached and pulled down from water level. The product can be adapted to different boats. For the smallest boats, manually activated flotation units can be integrated to prevent the boat from ti...
