esearch contributions of Mark Gibbons, Andre Goosen and Lesley Roos to the paper and presentation are much appreciated. I thank De Beers and NAMDEB for making the presentation of this paper possible. The commitment of De Beers and its associated company NAMDEB to responsible environmental management is acknowledged, not only by ourselves, but also the many people who benefit from the opportunities that the offshore diamond industry in Namibia provides for scientific study and the development of knowledge about one of the world’s most fascinating natural environments.
