The Benguela Current, therefore, effectively starts at Cape Point, and flows northwards from there, although further out to sea it is joined by surface water that has crossed the South Atlantic from South America as part of the South Atlantic Gyre.

His work includes drafting : the Integrated Coastal Management Bill now before Parliament, the agreement between South Africa, Namibia and Angola that established the Benguela Current Commission; waste legislation for KwaZulu Natal and legislation for sustainable land use in the Western Cape.

One anaerobic species, " Thiomargarita namibiensis ", plays an important part in the breakdown of hydrogen sulphide eruptions from diatomaceous sediments off the Namibian coast, and generated by high rates of phytoplankton growth in the Benguela Current upwelling zone, eventually falling to the seafloor.

In coastal areas of South Africa and Namibia, the combination of exceedingly old soils and a high input of phosphate from very fertile oceans due to the Benguela Current causes aluminium phosphate to accumulate to form a concentrated mineral known as "'aluminium phosphate rock " '.

The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm-water Agulhas current meets the cold water Benguela current and turns back on itself a point that fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point ( about 1.2 kilometers east of the Cape of Good Hope ).

Worldwide, there are five major coastal currents associated with upwelling areas : the Canary Current ( off Northwest Africa ), the Benguela Current ( off southern Africa ), the California Current ( off California and Oregon ), the Humboldt Current ( off Peru and Chile ), and the Somali Current ( off Western India ).

It is one of the major travel destinations in the region owing to the Crystal Mountains inland from the town, which contain some of the oldest rainforests in Gabon . these were able to largely escape the drying effect of glacial periods of the Quaternary due to the persistent fog from the Benguela Current providing moisture during the dry season.

With an average annual temperature of 21.1 �C the climate is subtropical and about 5 6 �C warmer than the temperate coast though at about 400 m above sea level : given that Gobabeb is at more than about 70 km from the coast it is much less under the influence of the cold coastal ocean Benguela current than coastal areas such as Walvis Bay.
