Detailed description of the Environment of the 2 D seismic trails.
WNZ-2D-2011/001 (8.5 km long), runs in East – West direction, south and parallel to the
western part of the WNZ-2D-2011/007 line and crosses the Oedraysing Varmaweg south of the
Cremation site. The line runs through almost uninhabited area but crosses cultivated private
lands and cattle pasture along the Oedraysing Varmaweg. The line also will cross (private)
canals and ‘fish holes’ with its associated dams. The following ecosystems are crossed by this
line:
- brackish water swamp dominated by long grass such as Cat Tails (ST:Payagrasi of
Langagrasi or Kunsuwiwiri; SC: Typha domingensis;
- thorny vine scrub, dominated by (ST: Brantimaka, SC: Machaerium lunatum);
- swamp wood dominated by Blood Wood (ST: Watrabebe; SC: Pterocarpus officinalis),
locally swamp wood characterized by Swamp Plumb (SD: Zwamppruim; SN:
Chrysobalanus icaco) and Swamp Soursop (ST: Swampusunsaka; SD: Zwampzuurzak;
SC: Annona glabra);
- coastal ridge wood on narrow ridges in brackish to fresh water areas.
- private cultivated farm land on a ridge (the small most eastern part of the line)
WNZ-2D-2011/002 (7.5 km long) This line runs in a South – North direction and is in the far
western part of the Weg naar Zee area. The major part of this line runs through uninhabited area
but the ultimate southern part passes nearby or crosses private lands where horticulture activities
take place.
The ecosystems it crosses are:
- mudflats
- young coastal mangrove forest dominated by Black Mangrove (ST: Parwa;
SC: Avicennia germinans)
- salt/brakish water lagoon (ST/SD Pan)
- closed to open mature coastal mangrove forest dominated by Black Mangrove (ST:
Parwa; SC: Avicennia germinans)
- salt / brackish water swamp dominated by short grass and ferns
- coastal ridge wood on narrow ridges in brackish to fresh water areas
- brackish water swamp dominated by long grass such as Cat Tails (ST: Payagrasi,
Langagrasi or Kunsuwiwiri; SC: Typha domingensis
- freshwater swamp with herbaceous vegetation and swamp scrub
- swamp wood dominated by Blood Wood (ST: Watrabebe; SC: Pterocarpus officinalis),
locally swamp wood characterized by Swamp Plumb (SD: Zwamppruim; SN:
Chrysobalanus icaco) and Swamp Soursop (ST: Swampusunsaka; SD: Zwampzuurzak;
SC: Annona glabra)
- build up areas, farmland and abandoned fields
WNZ-2D-2011/003 (7.8 km). This line also runs in a South – North direction and lies in the
