The status of the Whale Sanctuaries is reviewed by the IWC every 10 years, and the Indian Ocean Sanctuary has so far been reviewed and extended three times, in 1989, 1992 and 2002. ref http www.environment.gov.au coasts species cetaceans whale protection sanctuaries.html Whale sanctuaries Bot generated title ref Area The Indian Ocean Whale Sanctuary extends south to 55 S latitude with a western boundary of 20 E longitude by Africa and an eastern boundary of 130 E longitude by Australia.

  1. Indian Ocean literature

    Unreferenced date May 2007 Original research date September 2007 The Indian Ocean is home to many literary texts, from Greco Roman times to the Thousand and One nights , the matrix of many narratives , which portrays Sinbad the Merchant, through a fantastic and popular twist of the mind, however based on real details of navigation in this first ocean of globalisation . Indeed, combining Indian and Chinese literatures, among the oldest on the planet, it can be characterized as the most fictionalized ocean, having been the backbone of many tales, novels and poetic work. This was further enhanced when Bartholomew Diaz rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, paving the way for Vasco da Gama , who reached Malindi , before being guided to Calicut , the desired port of spices , by a mualim or regional pilot. The Portuguese poet Camoens then wrote his famous Luciads . Mark Twain sejourned there. So did Bernardin de Saint Pierre , who invented the naturalist novel with Paul and Virginie , an idyllic and tragic novel under the tropics , in Mauritius . Charles Baudelaire also carried his spleen there, experimenting the correspondences and falling in love with Creole peoples Creole and India n ladies, as expressed in his poems La dame cr ole or A une malabaraise . In La R union, Rouget Leconte de Lisle is foremost, with symbolist poetry. Many more poets went to the Mascarene islands, like Paul Jean Toulet . Colonial era In the colonial era, writers like Rabemananjara and Rabearivelo took French to new horizons, combining their original languages and cultures with the colonist s idiom.
