Foreword A seminar was held on 24th-25th October 2006 on board the Norwegian coastal steamer ”Trollfjord” while sailing from Trondheim to Bergen. The topic was “Marine Protected Areas (MPA) – a useful tool in fisheries management? Challenges and experiences from developing countries”. The seminar was arranged by the Norwegian Fishery Forum for De- velopment Cooperation and funded by Norad. The purpose for the seminar was to debate different views and raise awareness about the role of MPAs in relation to fisheries management, as elaborated in the Foreword by the editors of this book. Following this event, the organising committee requested Ian Bryceson and Julius Francis to produce a book based upon the papers presented from, and relevant to, developing countries. The presenters from the seminar subsequently rewrote their contributions to fit a publishable format. Funding was provided by Norad. The publication of this book has been delayed for multiple and complex reasons. However, I am very pleased to see these interesting articles published and believe they will be of good use in fisheries management in many countries. A sincere thank you to the editors for their good work. Brit Fisknes Senior Adviser, Department for Climate, Energy and Environment, Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation (Norad), Oslo, Norway. III Dedication to Chandrika Sharma We wish to dedicate this book to Chandri- ka Sharma who participated in the seminar that gave rise to it. Chandrika’s presenta- tion at the seminar was most inspiring, as she highlighted the rights of small-scale fishers and fishworkers in relation to ma- rine and coastal conservation. Her valuable contribution is included as a chapter in this book, and is based upon her longstanding work as Executive Secretary of the Interna- tional Collective in Support of Fishworkers. Chandrika was one among the two hun- dred and thirty-nine passengers and crew of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 who all went missing on 8th March 2014, and are still un- accounted for. Until now, no plausible ex- planation has been provided regarding the disappearance of all these persons and the huge aircraft in which they were travelling. This tragic event left thousands of family members and friends grieving deeply, and with many unanswered questions in their minds. Among the families and friends are Chandri- ka’s daughter, husband, mother, her wider family and very many friends who all miss her profoundly. We express our sincere sympathies to them, and join them in sadness at the loss of Chandrika. Simultaneously, we offer our solidarity to them, as we continue to draw much inspiration and joy from memories of Chandrika’s wonderful personality, outstand- ing intellect, exemplary work, compassionate spirit and tireless enthusiasm. We also warmly remember Chandrika’s participation in a workshop with fishers, fisheries officials and scientists in Dar es Salaam and in Zanzibar, as well as the seminar in Norway, and in other meetings and correspondence with her over many years. Chandrika’s contributions in support of the struggles of small-scale fishers and fishworkers all over the world towards securing their rights, are and always will be, deeply appreciated and cherished. Her exceptionally strong, yet soft-spoken, personality continues to inspire many of us, and her ideas will continue to be deeply respected in international fisheries forums. In sadness and in solidarity, Ian and Julius. V Table of Contents Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in relation to Fisheries Management: Challenges and Experiences from Developing Countries.

The topic was “Marine Protected Areas (MPA) – a useful tool in fisheries management? Challenges and experiences from developing countries”. The seminar was arranged by the Norwegian Fishery Forum for Development Cooperation and funded by Norad. The purpose for the seminar was to debate different views and raise awareness about the role of MPAs in relation to fisheries management. After the seminar, the organising committee held a meeting and requested Ian Bryceson and Julius Francis to produce a book based upon the papers presented from and relevant to devel- oping countries (although presentations were also made about Norwegian experiences with MPAs, it was decided to focus the book upon developing countries only). Later additional funding for this purpose was applied for and granted by Norad, and the respective authors were requested to revise their presentations into papers in a publishable format for the book. Most of the persons who made presentations agreed to prepare chapters, and these chapters now appear in the same logical sequence as they did orally at the seminar itself. However, aspects of Razack Lokina’s presentation are included in the chapter by Julius Francis (now co-authored by Milali Machumu), and contributions by Maria Pinto and Paula Afonso are included in the chapter by Simeão Lopes. However, two presenters, namely Carl-Gustav Lun- din (IUCN) and Svein Erik Hårklau (WWF) declined the invitation to write chapters for this book. Following this Introduction, an overview and historical perspective on MPAs is provided by Jessica Sanders and Kevern Cochrane to set the scene for subsequent chapters. In the next chapter, Jeppe Kolding insightfully analyses the biological evidence for MPA’s effects and he convincingly shows that while there may be increase in fish biomass within MPAs, evidence is lacking for any “spill-over” or other effect that would increase fish productivity in areas ad- jacent to MPAs, in fact overall fish catches are probably reduced: artisanal small-scale fishers appear to generally utilise fish resources optimally with little evidence to support claims by managers and conservationists about “overfishing” (in contrast to clear problems of overfish- ing by industrial fisheries occurring in some parts of the world).

  • 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.

  • Policies and Legal Frameworks for Marine Protected Areas
    Policies and legal frameworks for Marine Protected Areas governance in Tanzania mainland: their potential and limitations for achieving conservation and livelihood goals. Bigeyo Neke Kuboja United Nations-Nippon Foundation of Japan Fellowship Programme December 2013 Abstract The focus of this study is territorial sea marine protected areas governance in Tanzania mainland. The study describes and analyses the limitations and potential for existing policies and legal framework for managing these systems to better integrate conservation and livelihood goals; by using Mafia Island Marine Park (MIMP), which is a marine protected area (MPA), located on Mafia Island as a case study. The study examines Tanzanian legislations and international instruments that are relevant for MPA governance and their applicability in MIMP. There are about 33 marine protected areas along the Tanzanian coastline. The coastline is endowed by numerous small near shore islands and islets as well as several large islands, coral reefs, mangrove forests, sea grass beds and sandy beaches which support plentiful marine organisms as spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth habitats that are worth to be managed and used sustainably. The coastline extends approximately 1400km in north-south direction from the Tanzania-Kenya border in the north to the Tanzania-Mozambique border in the south. Several previous reports have identified most of the governance challenges facing coastal and marine resources including MPAs in Tanzania. Therefore, through utilization of secondary data, understandings into the MPA management/governance and by applying lessons from other developing nations coastal settings this study highlighted some mechanism on how the existing policies and legal frameworks can be used to improve the situation on the ground for sustainably exploiting and managing coastal and marine resources of Tanzania.

  • Chemical Ecology of Western Indian Ocean Reef Sponges
    Chemical ecology of Western Indian Ocean reef sponges A dissertation by Stephanie Helber Bremen, August 2016 Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Naturwissenschaften der Universität Bremen, Fachbereich Biologie/Chemie. Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde in der Zeit von März 2013 bis August 2016 am Leibniz-Zentrum für Marine Tropenökologie (ZMT) in Bremen angefertigt. Finanziert wurde Arbeit von der Leibniz Gemeinschaft (SAW-2013-ZMT-4). Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Claudio Richter (Erstgutachter) Prof. Dr. Peter Schupp (Zweitgutachter) Prüfer: Prof. Dr. Matthias Wolff Dr. Sven Rohde Weitere Mitglieder des Prüfungsausschusses: Claudia Pogoreutz (Doktorandin) Natalie Prinz (Studentin) Datum des Promotionskolloquiums: 29. September 2016 © 2016 Stephanie Helber Für meine Mama SUMMARY Sponges are among the dominant benthic organisms on coral reefs, representing important spatial competitors for reef-building corals. Coral reefs have experienced drastic declines in coral cover and corresponding increases in the abundance of other spatial competitors, such as macroalgae, corallimorpharians and sponges, due to a combination of global and local stressors. The ability of sponges to chemically defend themselves against predators, microbes and other competitors may partially explain their high abundance on reefs worldwide. Nonetheless, studies investigating sponge abundance and chemical ecology are rare, particularly in the Western Indian Ocean, which is considered a hotspot of coral and sponge biodiversity. Thus, this thesis is the first study that provides insights into the chemical ecology of sponges from the Western Indian Ocean. The thesis consists of a general introduction, three chapters investigating in detail different aspects of chemical defence mechanisms in sponges from Zanzibar and a general discussion. In Chapter 1 I assessed the benthic community composition of the reef at Bawe, an island on Zanzibar’s West Coast.

  • 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.
