		The Benguela Current's effect is enhanced by a southwesterly wind, which increases in September and October (early in the southern summer) and blows for approximately 280 days of the year.
		As this wind strengthens, it drives the surface layers of the Benguela northward, almost parallel with the land.
		The deeper layers of the Benguela are rich in phosphates and nitrates, a result of the decomposition of animals and plants on the ocean floor.

		In the early 1960s there was an explosive increase in effort and landings throughout the Benguela, with the arrival of foreign trawling fleets, and by 1972, the annual hake catch in the south-east Atlantic exceeded 1.1 million tonnes.
		Merluccius polli occurs predominantly in Angolan waters, and is caught on the shelf slope as a by-catch in the prawn fishery and by deep water trawlers in the south, where its distribution overlaps with that of the shallow-water Cape hake Merluccius capensis.
		In all three countries bordering the Benguela Current it is national policy to utilise living marine resources on a sustainable basis for the benefit of the nation, and to base the management on scientific information and principles.

		The northward direction of the Benguela current is part of the geostrophic flow of the world ocean, the currents which flow due to the Coriolis force, the force that results from the rotation of the Earth.
		In the South Atlantic, the north-flowing Benguela is part of a counterclockwise gyre; on the South American side of the gyre, the Brazil Current flows south.
		In the case of the Benguela Current upwelling [diagram] [animation] in the Southern Hemisphere, the prevailing winds are from the southeast.

	UNDP South Africa \| Integrated Management of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The need for inter-country collaboration to ensure integrated management, sustainable development and protection of the BCLME has long been recognised, but until recently this was not possible due to the legacy of the colonial and political past.
		By 1995 collaboration between countries in the Benguela Current region countries had become possible, and the foundation was then laid for the sustainable management of this complex ecosystem.
		Originally conceived in 1995 as a means to ensure the integrated management, sustainable development and protection of a changing Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem, the BCLME Programme was developed over the next five years by Angola, Namibia and South Africa in partnership with the GEF and UNDP.

	The Benguela Current Experiment
		The main objective of this program is to study the pathways, velocity, transport and variability of the Benguela Current and its extension with emphasis on tracking floats in the intermediate water.
		During KAPEX over 100 RAFOS floats and nine sound sources will measure ocean trajectories for the first time in the Agulhas Current, in its rings which enter the South Atlantic, and in the Benguela Current and its extension, which is the source of water moving northward through the Atlantic in the meridional overturning circulation cell.
		During the Benguela Current Experiment cruise on the R/V S. Johnson in September 32 RAFOS floats and two sound sources in the general area west and northwest of Cape Town 1997 were launched.

	KAPEX RAFOS Float Data Report 1997–1999
		The overall objective of the Benguela Current Experiment is to measure the northward flow of intermediate water in the eastern South Atlantic.
		The goal of this experiment is to obtain the first long-term Lagrangian measurements in the Benguela Current, which is the origin of the northward-flowing intermediate water in the South Atlantic and in the Benguela Current extension, which is the main conduit of intermediate water westward across the South Atlantic (Figure 1).
		Some of the Benguela Current floats drifted over the mid-Atlantic Ridge into the western South Atlantic and into the region of the WOCE Deep Basin Experiment (DBE) where other acoustic floats have been tracked (Boebel et al., 1999) and are being tracked (Ollitrault, 1999) in the intermediate water.
