  • 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.

Conservation management of these precious ecosystems relies on accurate and up-to-date information about ecosystem health and the distribution of species and habitats, but such information can be costly to gather and interpret in the fi eld. Remote sensing has proven capable of collecting information on geomorphologic zones and substrate types for coral reef environments, and is cost-effective when information is needed for large areas.

  • Historical Development of the Mafia Island Marine Park
    HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAFIA ISLAND MARINE PARK: The idea of establishing a marine park at Mafia Island began in the 1960s when recommendations were made for the protection of coastal areas and marine resources in Tanzania through the establishment of marine parks, reserves and sanctuaries. These resulted in the declaration of eight small reserves along the Tanzanian coast under the Fisheries (Marine Reserves) Regulations of 1975, two of these are in what is now the Mafia Island marine Park (MIMP), namely Chole Bay and Kitutia Reef. The small size of these areas and the lack of financial and human resources for enforcement meant that the marine reserves were essentially paper parks; Dynamite fishing and other destructive and unsustainable resource utilization continued unabated. The inadequacy of management of these small areas led to the realization that the creation of a larger marine protected area would make it possible to combine conservation of reefs and other key coastal and marine areas with; management or resources to ensure sustainable long term local economic development. From 188, baseline studies were conducted through the frontier-Tanzania project, a collaborative programme of the University of Dar es salaam (including the institute of Marine Sciences, Zanzibar) and a UK-based conservation research organization. The studies aimed to determine the use could be sustainable. The results provided important baseline information for developing recommendations for the marine park management plan. In 1991,the Principal Secretaries of the Ministry of Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment appointed a steering Committee to oversee the development of the marine park. The Committee included representatives from the fisheries division, the Institute of Marine Science (IMS), the MP for Mafia, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Regional Natural Resources office (Coast Region), and wildlife Conservation Society for Tanzania.

Executive Summary The whale shark Rhincodon typus is the largest fish in the world. Its size, gentle nature and tendency to swim at the surface in predictable coastal aggregation sites means that it can be a focal species for marine tourists. Whale sharks are categorised on the IUCN Red List as ‘Vulnerable’ to extinction following fishery-induced declines in some parts of the world.

  • Travel to Mafia Island ( Taken from the Internet )
    Travel to Mafia Island ( taken from the internet ) The vast majority of tourists arrive by airplane, direct from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. However, there is another way: by ferry from the mainland town of Nyamisati. As the guidebooks indicate, the ferry is much more time-consuming and, yes, it can be difficult. But the overall cost of the ferry is one-tenth that of the flight. It’s obvious why islanders travel only the one way – a single fare plane ticket is more than the average person makes in three months. I keep mentioning the guidebooks, which probably makes you wonder why I’m writing a letter about how to get to Mafia Island. The simple answer is that there is far too much bad information out there about how to get to Nyamisati, journey length, how to buy tickets, and especially departure times. Lodges on the island, surprised at the idea of their guests traveling by a boat without safety features, will tell you it departs Nyamisati at 10am. Hotels in Dar es Salaam, or at least the ones that have heard of Nyamisati, will give 8am as the time. The Lonely Planet firmly says 2pm. They’re all wrong. It’s easy to find out about the planes, of course, so I won’t dwell on that method in this letter. And because everything is sure to change as the months and years go by, let me just say that the information below is accurate as of september 2013. Travel by Sea Every day two ferries ply the sea between Nyamisati, 150km south of Dar es Salaam, and Kilindoni, Mafia Island: one going, one coming back.

    INDEPENDENT STUDY: Module 2, Class 25 Please note: The pictures and comments in the transcript and recording below have been gathered over many years and where possible, I attribute them to their original source. If anyone connected with these photographs or comments would like them removed, please notify me and I will be happy to comply. The recording for Class 25 is 36 minutes. Class 25: Shell #s: 60, 22 I think by now you have no doubt of the diversity among our mollusk friends. One of the most dramatic examples of this is the contrast between the vampires and the heroes. First, let me introduce the vampires. I would like you to meet the Maculated Dwarf Triton. It is much smaller than its relative, the Pacific Trumpet Triton that we met in class #14 on shells and religion. If you recall, the Trumpet Triton was large enough to be employed as a trumpet for Shinto priests to call people in to pray. To understand why I label the Dwarf Triton a vampire, a picture is worth 1,000 words. Or should I say, two pictures. The first shows a sleeping Parrot fish with a Dwarf Triton nearby. If you look very closely, there is a fine line leading from the Dwarf Triton to the fish. That tiny line is the triton’s proboscis…or mouth. In our lesson on Cone Shells, do you remember the radula with single file poisonous harpoon-like “teeth” to paralyze prey? The radula ribbon is contained inside the proboscis. In the case of the Dwarf Triton, they possess a scalpel adaptation and anesthetizing chemicals allowing the proboscis to be inserted directly into the sleeping fish.

Abstract A new genus of the subfamily Pontoniinae, Ancylomenes gen. nov. is established for the ‘Periclimenes aesopius species group’ of the genus Periclimenes Costa. The new genus is distinguished from other genera of Pontoniinae on account of the strongly produced inferior orbital margin with reflected inner flange, and the basicerite of the antenna armed with an angular dorsal process. Fourteen species have been previously recognized as belonging to the ‘P. aesopius species group’. One Eastern Pacific species (P. lucasi Chace), and two Atlantic species (P. anthophilus Holthuis & Eibl- Eibesfeldt, and P. pedersoni Chace) are now also placed in Ancylomenes gen. nov. A further new species associated with a cerianthid sea anemone, A. luteomaculatus sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of specimens from the Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, and Philippines. A key for their identification, and a checklist of the species of Ancylomenes gen.
