The objective of this paper was to analyze the occupation of the coastline of Puerto Madryn, province of Chubut, from its foundation to the present day. It describes the process of seaside resort development and identifies the different models of facilities built on the beach. For this purpose, a bibliographic and photographic review and a documentary search were carried out and events, actions and social processes that have modified the coastline from 1865 were recorded. The geo-historical approach complemented by Dagwood's "sandwich" methodology was applied. The compilation of facts and specific actions for the occupation of the studied waterfront allowed the identification of a continuous process of coastal transformation. Six temporal sections were distinguished; they illustrate relevant changes in the processes of anthropic intervention on this space: 1865-1914, 1915-1929; 1930-1959; 1960-1979; 1980-1999, 2000-present. It is concluded that the occupation of the coastline and the consequent territorial transformation has been taking place with greater intensity for over two decades through a sustained process of coastal seaside resort development and its associated impacts. The seaside resort models described in this study lay the foundations for the proposal of actions for the sustainable occupation of the dune-beach system in Puerto Madryn's waterfront.

Abstract The goal is to analyze the tendencies of the formation of recreational landscape of the Palanga resort and, after reviewing the planning experiences of other south-eastern Baltic resorts, present measures for landscape optimization. To achieve this, an analysis of changes of the seaside recreational landscape after 1990, the current state of resorts, scientific literature, and seaside resort planning was conducted. After assessing the changes in the recreational landscape, it has been noticed that for a quarter of the last century, planning of seaside resorts was aimed at attracting and accommodating an increasing number of holidaymakers, which caused an ever increasing need to intensify the construction in the territories, increasing the scale of buildings, and urbanizing natural territories without taking into consideration the existing natural and cultural environment. Natural, anthropogenic and social factors are affecting the recreational landscape of seaside resorts, which are important in the context of resort development and regional development. The article presents the means of Palanga resort optimization based on these factors.

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses some correspondence between Robert Schomburgk (1804–1865) and Adolphe Brongniart (1801–1876). Four letters survive, containing information about the history of Schomburgk's collection of fishes and plants from British Guiana, and his herbarium specimens from Dominican Republic and southeast Asia. A study of these letters has enabled us to confirm that Schomburgk supplied the collection of fishes from Guiana now in the Laboratoire d'Ichtyologie, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The letters of the German naturalist are an interesting source of information concerning the practice of sale and exchange of natural history collections in the nineteenth century in return for honours.
