Sea ports

Adopting the influence of situation approach, this study aims to unravel the reasons, why despite the large amount of funds expended by the Federal Government of Nigeria on the construction and provision of relatively modern facilities, the Calabar Sea Port has remained grossly underutilized. The analyses were very revealing, For instance the calabar port is located along a river, and is in fact a River Port. Thus there is the dire need for frequent dredging of the channel, and the use of pilot boats. Calabar Sea Port utilization is influenced by multidimensional factors, which sometimes can't be adequately controlledby port management.

In 1935, after five years of works, the port of Capri opened. The new infrastructure, wanted by the special administration of the island during the fascism, was inserted in a specific program of the High Commissioner for the city and the province of Naples for the increase of the ports in the region that interested the ports of Naples and Sorrento as well.
The paper aims to investigate the phases of the construction of "new" port of Capri, in the '20s and '30s, thanks to the consultation of unpublished material, focusing on assumptions and meanings of the birth of such an important infrastructure in general framework of the economic development supported by fascism in the island before World War II.
The construction of the port in Capri, in fact, was not only a response to a practical need that for years people claimed, but was rather the recognition of the extraordinary role that in those years the island was beginning to have in the world tourism. The Fascist regime's willingness to make Capri an attractive destination of excellence is translated into a positive development of cultural and environmental values of the island. With the approval of the municipal administration were restored numerous roads, including via Camerelle, via Tragara and the famous Via Krupp; major monuments like the Certosa di San Giacomo and the church of San Costanzo and was finally rediscovered the huge archeological treasure that saw the restoration of Villa Jovis in 1932 its highest point.
It is no coincidence that in 1937, the superintendent of public works pushed strongly for to place Roman column at the entrance of the new port to signify the new vocation they wanted to give Capri.
The paper aims to frame the port project in this context, looking at the extraordinary role that it will have in the development of the island since the war, without forgetting the current difficulties of a infrastructure that may no longer responds to the changing accommodation needs.

In the southwestern Indian state of Kerala, an Adani company is constructing a massive port in the midst of shing villages, beaches and tourist resorts. The company's deep-water Vizhinjam transshipment port has attracted headlines for all the wrong reasons-delays, coastal erosion, public subsidies and damage to sheries. Since 30 September 2020, a group of determined sherfolk has tackled Adani, blocking roads into the construction site with their boats. These sherfolk are a pillar of the local community, having undertaken countless dangerous rescue missions in 2018 when huge oods devastated the local area. Now they are attempting to rescue their own livelihoods. For several months, Jisha Elizabeth has been attending protest meetings and events. She now reports for AdaniWatch on the current situation at Vizhinjam. When the oods of 2018 devastated Kerala, a group of daring shermen did the unthinkable. Navigating their shing boats like an armada through the deluge, they saved numerous lives and property, like trained rescue personnel. Their sel ess service earned the praise and gratitude of the government and people alike. These brave sons of the sea were hailed as Kerala's Army by the state government. Now, this army, based on the southern tip of India, is on a war footing against the Adani Group, the business conglomerate that enjoys the patronage of the state and central governments. The shermen are ghting to protect the marine ecosystem, their livelihood and their lives, which they say are being destroyed by the Vizhinjam deep-sea port construction undertaken by Adani. According to many reports, the Adani Group enjoys the direct and indirect support of the Modi government and its bureaucracy. Even though the opposition is rich and powerful, the children of the sea have vowed to stand strong and ght this battle for survival.
