The aim of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism is to lead sustainable development of South Africa's environment and tourism for a better life for all.
Purpose: Provide strategic leadership, centralised administration and executive support, and corporate services.
Purpose: Protect and improve the quality and safety of the environment to give effect to the right of all South Africans to an environment that is not harmful to health and wellbeing.
Purpose: Promote the conservation and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources to contribute to economic growth and poverty alleviation.
Purpose: Create conditions for the sustainable tourism growth and development for the benefit of all South Africans.
Purpose: Promote the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources to contribute to economic growth and poverty alleviation.
Purpose: Create conditions for effective corporate and cooperative governance, international cooperation, business performance and the implementation of poverty alleviation projects.
In line with its vision of creating an equitable society living in harmony with the natural environment, the department's key strategic priorities include: creating conditions for sustainable tourism growth and development; promoting the conservation and sustainable utilisation of natural resources; protecting and improving the quality and safety of the environment; promoting a global sustainable development agenda; and transforming the environment and tourism sectors. The department also prioritises poverty alleviation through implementing expanded public works programme projects in the environment and tourism sectors.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup provides an ideal opportunity for raising awareness about South Africa as a tourist destination and securing repeat visitors based on the tourism experience during the event. Over the MTEF period, South Africa's reputation as a choice tourism destination will be strengthened by expanding the tourism product base, assuring the quality of tourism products and services, and creating adequate capacity to service the needs of the tourism industry.
Implementing the tourism broad based black economic empowerment (BEE) framework remains a priority, with 60 per cent of the 2014 targets to be met by 2011/12. This also applies to small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). The department intends to enable 2 140 SMMEs to access transactional opportunities from established tourism enterprises between 2009/10 and 2011/12. International tourism marketing efforts are expected to result in significant growth in the number of tourism arrivals, from the current 9.1 million per year to 11.9 million by 2011/12.
Following Cabinet's approval of the Waste Management Bill in July 2008, the department aims to improve waste management practices in the country by providing 85 per cent of the current 580 unauthorised waste disposal sites with permits, provided they meet the standard requirements. Local government's waste management services will be improved by implementing a policy framework and capacity development initiatives. The recycling industry will be developed by implementing the regulations on plastic bags. Government's ability to identify and prosecute environmental transgressions will be strengthened by increasing the number of environmental inspectors at the national, provincial and local government level, and within South African National Parks.
The number of municipalities with poor ambient air quality will be significantly reduced over the medium term. The Air Quality Management Act (2008), which repealed the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act (1965), now regulates all industrial emissions, including particulates and other pollutants. The 2008 act introduced a specified limit for emissions per pollutant, and from September 2012, all industries will be expected to meet the new industrial emissions standards. Sulphur dioxide emissions, for example, will be 4 000 mg/m3 within three years from September 2009, and this will further be reduced to 400 mg/m3 by September 2017.
Long term mitigation scenarios for climate change were developed and presented to Cabinet in 2008. These scenarios provide a scientific base for climate change to be factored into future policies and plans for South Africa's growth and development. The department will lead the development of South Africa's multidisciplinary and multisectoral climate change response policy.
Service levels for the adjudication of environmental impact assessments will increase significantly from 80 per cent of all new applications being processed within the required statutory timeframe of 45 days for a basic assessment application in 2008/09 to 98 per cent in 2011/12. The department will also ensure that adequate systems and capacity are in place to meet the demand for environmental impact assessment adjudications across the country.
Vote 25: Environmental Affairs and Tourism completed to avoid delays of strategically important developments, such as water services and energy infrastructure.
The electricity response plan, aimed at accelerating the processing of environmental impact assessment applications for energy infrastructure, such as power stations, has also been completed. The department will collaborate with the Department of Minerals and Energy, Eskom and the Department of Public Enterprises to ensure adequate human resources for assessing and issuing records of decision.
The strategy on the expansion of protected areas has been completed to ensure that all ecosystems and geographic areas are represented in the conservation estate. Effective management systems for the existing conservation and heritage estate will also be put in place. The department will ensure the protection of indigenous biodiversity from irregular exploitation through improving local indigenous knowledge and beneficiation. Regulations for bio-prospecting and alien invasive species have already been developed.
The department has also identified a need to attract infrastructure investment in the transfrontier conservation areas. To promote collaboration with transfrontier stakeholders, the department will support the Southern African Development Community (SADC) UniVisa project, which will facilitate the movement of tourists between countries in the region by reducing visa requirements during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
South Africa's Antarctica research programme, based on the meteorological observation stations at Antarctica and Marion and Gough islands, is benefiting from the replacement of the old research base at Marion Island, and will receive a further boost when the research vessel and equipment are replaced.
The department will also promote marine fish farming to mitigate the impact of depleting global fish stocks, and establish pilot projects to test the viability of specific fish species for farming. The marine aquaculture policy framework has been established to ensure a standardised approach to fish farming.
Providing support to international negotiations and relations to promote South Africa's global sustainable development and tourism agenda remains a priority. The department continues to focus on mobilising bilateral and multilateral financial and technical resources in support of national and regional environment and tourism projects.
Over the medium term, the department will continue to focus on creating employment and skills development opportunities for poor communities through implementing the environment and tourism expanded public works programme. This includes implementing the national youth programme and other poverty alleviation programmes for coastal communities.

Between 2005/06 and 2008/09, expenditure increased from R1.8 billion to R3.2 billion at an average annual rate of 21.8 per cent. This was mainly due to increased expenditure in the Sector Services and International Relations programme for infrastructure development in the parks; the weather service; and poverty relief projects. Over the medium term, expenditure grows more moderately at an average annual rate of 9.4 per cent due to additional allocations for other large capital projects, such as the replacement of the polar supply vessel. Transfers and subsidies to departmental agencies and accounts, and to households, account for a significant portion of the total budget, constituting 76 per cent of the annual allocation in 2008/09 and 62 per cent in 2011/12.
New allocations to the baseline are R33.9 million in 2009/10, R121.4 million in 2010/11, and R533.3 million in 2011/12. These are to provide for inflation adjustments, baseline adjustments, research on climate change and the development of a national climate change policy, and Buyisa-e-Bag. In 2011/12, an additional R300 million is allocated for the polar research vessel, which accounts for the increase in payments for capital assets. R60 million is allocated for the extension of the South African National Parks infrastructure development programme.
Cost containment measures over the medium term have been identified within the department, totalling R31.6 million, R38.5 million and R43.7 million in compensation of employees and goods and services.
Marine and Coastal Management receives funding of R144.5 million in 2009/10, R467.3 million in 2010/11 and R501.5 million in 2011/12 for the acquisition of the polar research vessel to replace the SA Agulhas. This vessel will provide logistical support to the three research bases located at Antarctica, and Marion and Gough islands.
Infrastructure projects in the Sector Services and International Relations programme include the South African Weather Service replacing weather radars, and South African National Parks and iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority upgrading tourism accommodation and facilities in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The department receives revenue mainly from environmental impact assessments. Over the MTEF period, revenue is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 10.6 per cent, from R654 000 in 2009/10 to R800 000 in 2011/2012.

Establish a coherent approach to climate change response for South Africa by developing a climate change response policy by 2011/12.
The number of unauthorised waste disposal sites reduced by 8 per cent in the first three quarters of 2008/09. Since 2008/09, training for environmental management inspectors has been offered by the University of Pretoria and the University of South Africa, and approximately 975 inspectors have been trained and designated. About 250 officials were trained in the administration of environmental impact assessments and 85 per cent of all new national applications were processed within prescribed timeframes.
In 2008, guidelines were also put in place for the Eskom electricity response plan.
An air quality management plan for the Vaal Triangle air-shed priority area was developed in 2007/08. 6 ambient air quality monitoring stations are operational in the area. The Highveld area in Mpumalanga was declared the second national priority area. 5 ambient air quality monitoring stations are operational in this area. Air quality management planning and atmospheric emission licensing manuals were published, and 300 officials from all spheres of government were trained on their use. Registration certificates of industries responsible for 80 per cent of the national industrial emissions were reviewed to ensure alignment and compliance with the statutory requirements.
Over the MTEF period, the department's spending focus will be directed towards the monitoring of compliance, ensuring environmental law enforcement, building capacity across all spheres of government, and designating and registering environmental management inspectors on the national register. Policy development, waste minimisation interventions, and authorisation of permits for waste disposal sites will also be key areas of focus. In addition, the department intends to: process national environmental impact assessment applications and develop the necessary capacity to predetermine the potential use of specific environments; monitor and manage air quality, and ensure that information is readily available for informed decision making; support local government with air quality management planning and capacity building; and develop a climate change response policy.

Expenditure is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 32 per cent over the MTEF period, from R429 million in 2008/09 to R987.5 million in 2011/12. The reason for this is the anticipated increase in expenditure in the Antarctic Supply Vessel subprogramme, at an average annual rate of 151.2 per cent over the medium term, due to the additional allocation of R1.1 billion for replacing the polar vessel.
The Marine Living Resources Fund (MLRF) was established in terms of section 10 of the Marine Living Resources Act (1998) to manage the development and sustainable use of South Africa's marine and coastal resources and to protect the integrity and quality of the country's marine and coastal ecosystem.
Research, Antarctica and Islands provides advice on the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources. Key activities include: conducting routine research surveys in all the major fisheries and providing advice on total allowable catch and total allowable effort for the major commercial fish species; conducting research assessments of marine biodiversity and ecosystems aimed at monitoring ecosystem health; and compiling reports on the physical environment of the oceans.
Integrated Coastal Management manages a variety of human impacts on the coastal environment through regulating activities along the coastline. Key activities include: developing and implementing a legislative and policy framework for the protection and regulation of South Africa's coastal zone; promoting the growth of marine aquaculture in South Africa; identifying, designating and managing marine protected areas and estuaries; managing marine pollution from land based sources; and managing and regulating nonconsumptive use of marine resources, including boat based whale watching and white shark cage diving activities.
Marine Resource Management regulates the use of marine resources through administering fishing rights, permits and licenses. Key activities include: developing and implementing a policy framework for allocating and managing long term fishing rights in 20 commercial fishery sectors; facilitating and managing the transfer of commercial fishing rights; conserving and protecting seals, seabirds and shorebirds; and developing a policy and management framework for the subsistence fisheries sector. Other activities include: monitoring fish stocks to prevent overexploitation or negative impacts on the integrity of marine ecosystems and developing management strategies to rebuild depleted fish stocks.
Monitoring, Control and Surveillance aims to prevent and reduce illegal marine activities. Key activities include: monitoring and inspecting land fish at slipways, harbours and fish processing establishments; monitoring the movement of fishing vessels and conducting routine vessel inspections at sea; and developing and implementing special operations in collaboration with other law enforcement partners, such as the South African Police Service and the National Prosecuting Authority.
The Marine Living Resources Fund will ensure equitable and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources to contribute to economic development by: administering fishing rights, permits and licences in identified fisheries sectors; conducting performance reviews for 40 per cent of commercial fishery sectors annually from 2009/10; allocating rights in one additional sector within the large pelagic sector; processing 100 per cent of commercial rights transfer applications; allocating rights in two non-consumptive sectors (boat based whale watching and white shark cage diving); and finalising the subsistence rights policy in 2009/10.
To build a sound scientific base for the effective management of natural resources, the fund will conduct research on: the feasibility of two new experimental fisheries, octopus and white mussels, in 2009/10; catch or effort limits in 21 fishery sectors; and the feasibility of three marine aquaculture species, scallop, finfish and urchin. Three marine aquaculture pilot projects will be launched and two regulatory guidelines for marine aquaculture (zoning and ranching) will be developed by 2009/10.
Over the medium term, the Marine Living Resources Fund will manage ecosystems and species requiring protection by: implementing abalone and hake species recovery plans; developing management plans and memorandums of understanding for 20 marine protected areas; designating one new marine protected area; developing management plans for five existing and six new estuaries; implementing the Integrated Coastal Management Act by establishing five provincial coastal committees; finalising two national plans of action; promoting an ecosystem approach to fisheries (seabirds and sharks); and developing an oil spill contingency plan.
Moreover, the fund will ensure efficient monitoring, control and surveillance of marine resources by conducting annual inspections of 40 per cent of landing in the hake, rock lobster, squid and abalone fishery sectors, 10 per cent of rights holders in the hake, rock lobster and squid sectors, 10 per cent of vessels of rights holders in these three sectors, and maintaining formal partnerships with five other law enforcement agencies, as well as undertaking two SADC patrols.
The surveys on total allowable catch and total allowable estimate, which included line fish, tuna pole, tuna and swordfish long line, net fish, oysters, south coast rock lobster, west coast rock lobster and white mussel, were completed in 2008/09.
The Integrated Coastal Management Bill was approved by both Houses of Parliament in 2008. The boat based whale watching and white shark cage diving policies were gazetted in April 2008 and the rights allocation process is scheduled to be finalised by July 2009.

Expanded public works programme: Environmental and 382.1 404.5 650.7 758.3 767.6 871.7 924.
Expenditure is set to increase from R1.2 billion in 2008/09 to R1.3 billion in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 1.5 per cent, compared to the average annual growth of 37.3 per cent between 2005/06 and 2008/09. Expenditure grew rapidly due to increases in allocations for poverty relief and infrastructure spending for public entities. This trend stabilises over the MTEF period, with infrastructure spending decreasing to R127.2 million in 2011/12.
The largest increase is in the Chief Operating Officer subprogramme from R4.4 million in 2008/09 to R38.5 million in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 106.1 per cent. This rapid increase is due to the additional allocations of R35 million for climate change interventions, and R20 million for environmental awareness campaigns over the medium term.
