SPECIAL FEATURE Eastern Cape The Eastern Cape is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the new interest in developing a maritime economy. The province has 800km of coastline, three ports, two Industrial Development Zones and an academic community geared to maritime research. The Eastern Cape’s maritime sector is anchored by its three large ports in the metropolitan municipalities of Buffalo City (Port of East London) and Nelson Mandela Bay (Port Elizabeth and Ngqura). The Nelson Mandela University has established a campus for Ocean Sciences. The ports of East London and Ngqura serve Industrial Development Zones, the ELIDZ and the Coega IDZ. Apart from attracting foreign direct investment and boosting employment, IDZs play a role in helping to add new sectors or subsectors to an economy. Beyond the metropolitan municipalities, three district municipalities host other coastal properties, existing small harbours or areas that could become small harbours. The tourism potential of the sandy beaches along the Eastern Cape coastline is already well known. With investment and targeted projects, some of the “hidden gems” among the small harbours, bays and coastal properties may turn out to be providers of income and improved turnover in unexpected ways. Priority projects Port St Johns: development of a new harbour and development of coastal property, with economic activities such as a new economic zone, fishing and aquaculture and the establishment of a waterfront. Port Alfred: development of coastal property, with economic activities such as tourism and aquaculture. Gonubie: development of coastal property, with economic activities such as a mini-waterfront, leisure activities and recreation.
