Box 9750, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; 2Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and Technology, University of Dar es Salaam, P.O. Box 35064, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Key words: Portunid crabs, production, species diversity, habitat preference Abstract—Production, habitat preference and distribution of the blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus and the diversity of portunid crabs were studied along the Dar es Salaam coastline, Tanzania. Samples were obtained from beach seine nettings and basket traps. The samples from basket traps were used in habitat preference studies only. The production of Portunus pelagicus was assessed in terms of catch rate and biomass, and the biomass and contribution of recruits to the stock estimated using the Leslie method. Seasonal variations in catch rate were found, with peaks between December and May. The highest catch rate was recorded at Msasani Bay (2.24 kg/haul/100-m net), and the lowest at Mzinga Creek (1.08 kg/haul/100-m net). The harvestable biomass for Dar es Salaam coast on average was 34.5 tonnes/year, while the contribution of recruitment to the biomass was about 20.2 tonnes/year. Portunus pelagicus was the most abundant portunid in all the sites, comprising between 39.1 and 81.5% of the catches at Mzinga Creek and Kunduchi respectively. Charybdis anisodon, Scylla serrata and Portunus sanguinolentus were also found in various proportions at the sites.

  • The Dar Es Salaam Seascape: a Case Study of an Environmental Management ‘Hotspot’
    Western Indian OceanA J. CASE Mar. STUDY Sci. Vol. OF 6,AN No. ENVIRONMENTAL 1, pp. 85–109, MANAGEMENT 2007 ‘HOTSPOT’ 85 © 2007 WIOMSA The Dar es Salaam Seascape: A Case Study of an Environmental Management ‘Hotspot’ Greg M. Wagner Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and Technology, University of Dar es Salaam, P.O. Box 35064, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Key words: Dar es Salaam seascape, Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response analysis, environmental management Abstract—The Dar es Salaam seascape contains a variety of interacting coastal and marine ecosystems that support diverse resources, upon which human life has depended for centuries. This paper applies the UNEP Human-Environment Interaction Analytical Approach to examine the changes that have taken place in this seascape over the past few decades. The main drivers of change have been rapid population growth, poverty and inadequate education, together with global climate change. The main pressures have been destructive fishing practices, mangrove harvesting, overfishing, tourism infrastructure and polluting emissions. These pressures have resulted in substantial negative environmental state changes, e.g., habitat loss and degradation, biodiversity loss and disturbance of food webs, and coastal erosion/accretion. Thus, the Dar es Salaam seascape has become an environmental “hotspot” of degradation, with consequent negative impacts on human well-being such as loss of livelihoods and reduction in the availability of food, building materials and firewood. Since the early 1990s, responses or interventions by government bodies, NGOs and integrated coastal management programmes, operating at the national level and at localized levels, have targeted only limited areas of the seascape. Despite these management efforts, there are many critical outstanding and emerging issues that remain unresolved.

This report highlights the importance of coast for Tanzania society and the nat- ural systems they support. Our coast contains some of the most biologically pro- ductive habitat that is home to a quarter of our population, houses three-quarters of our industrial segment of the economy, contributes about one third of the national gross domestic product not forgetting Dar es Salaam our largest urban centre. The coast attracts human populations because it is a focal point for eco- nomic growth and human development.

Biodiversity is the source of economic and ecological security of present and future generations. Thus, the current and future economic, social and ecological contributions of genes, species, and ecosystems make the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, not just a technical concern but a political imperative as well. Diversity and variety enable humanity to adapt to local, regional and global changes. As a Party to the Convention, Tanzania is required to fulfill the obligation of reporting under Article 26 that “requires the Parties to present reports to the Conference of the Parties (COP) on measures taken to implement the Convention and the effectiveness of those measures in meeting the Convention’s objectives”.
