  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

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.
