Workshop on the Dissemination and Discussion of the MOMS Results at the QNP Area

January 23rd 2017

Conference Room of the Ibo District Government Headquarters

1. BACKGROUND

Under the conservation of marine and coastal biodiversity project through the implementation of climate change adaptive measures along the Quirimbas National Park, in May 2016 WWF implemented a Monitoring System for Management Purposes (MSMP) at Ibo, Matemo and Quirimba islands, through community agents capacity building, where most of them were members of Community Fishing Councils (CCP), Natural Resources Management Committees (NRMC) and local fishermen.

The MOMS is a simple record framework on the use of natural resources in a given area and is used for monitoring methods that can be carried out by the local community. The most important aspect is that it´s given the option of what is required to monitor. The whole system is paper based, which is an appropriate methodology for remote areas where the use of computers is avoided.

This system of resource monitoring started in Namibia and was adapted to Mozambique with great success. In a period of 3 months (October to December 2004) an experimental phase was implemented in the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park (BANP). In this context, the modules were selected, modified and new records inserted which were adapted to specific areas. Information on the MOMS is being collected and reported to the National Directorate of Conservation Areas (DNAC / MITADER) since end of January 2005.

The BANP was the first conservation area to use the MOMS in Mozambique and was later implemented at the Niassa Reserve. This system helped to correct and adjust the previous monitoring systems in the parks. In these two parks, the data is collected by tax and tourism operators. However, a number of problems have arisen since its implementation, which has been highlighted by poor participation by tour operators, the withdrawal of some tax inspectors, and inconsistency in data due to the lack of replications, since in certain cases monitoring was not always carried out in the same place.

At Quirimbas National Park, this monitoring system was first implemented by local communities. Data on patrol activities, community fishing, collecting activities (octopus, crab and oyster), occurrence of illegal activities and spotting special species are collected by community agents during daily monitoring patrols. On some occasions, MOMS agents conduct monitoring at Quissanga district headquarters and in Tandanhangue.

The collected data is recorded in books divided into three different categories: yellow (daily register, summary of the individual monitoring patrol book), blue (monthly register) and red (annual register). The yellow book consists of the daily register, and it reports to each

monitoring activity in a given area. This information is then transferred to the monthly summary book (blue), where monthly trends can be evaluated for each event. Finally all data is entered in the annual book (red), which reflects the annual trends and allows for management to take measures.

 Each community agent has a monitoring patrol book that contains a reduced version of the complete registration form developed for each module. In this book, different information is recorded for each module. Upon returning from each monitoring day, the collected data is transferred to the daily logbook of each island (yellow), i.e., record of occurrences on each island (Ibo, Matemo and Quirimba);

By the end of each month, the patrol summary book information is summarized and inserted into:  Monthly report that is provided for each island to include in the monthly summary book of the whole area;  Monthly summary book (blue) of the whole covered area (for the three islands);  Annual summary book (red) of the whole covered area (for the three islands).

In order to present and discuss the results of MOMS at the QNP area, a workshop was held on January 23, 2017 where about 70 participants attended (list of participants and agenda attached). In addition to the WWF Mozambique, Netherlands and Sweden teams, two representatives of the QNP (heads of the QNP marine office in Ibo and of the marine supervision) participated in this workshop; Several Quissanga districts government entities (Administrator of Quissanga, Permanent Secretary of Ibo district and directors of SDAE, heads of Matemo, Quirimba, Naunde and Guludo); Community and religious leaders, native and migratory fishermen; Tour operators and representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community Based Organizations at the QNP area.

2. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

 Disclose the outcomes resulting from eight months of monitoring at the Ibo and Quirimba islands and five months in Matemo island;  Promote a participatory management with various actors of the Park, through discussions on the status and level of natural resources usage;  Identify successes and gaps in the monitoring system (MOMS);  Identify key issues and gaps for effective management of identified issues and propose practical measures that can be taken, including implementation time, assignment of responsibilities, and identification of required resources.

3. WORKSHOP SESSIONS

3.1 SESSION I: WELCOME NOTES AND OPENING SPEECH

The official opening of the event was led by the Permanent Secretary (PS) of Ibo district, Mr. Saide Amade, during which he welcomed the event participants and addressed a sincere thanks for the recognizable representativeness of the event participants, including the Administrator of Quissanga, Directors of the Ibo and Quissanga SDAEs, representatives of the QNP, heads of posts and localities, and NGO representatives.

In his speech, Mr. Saíde Amade also thanked the WWF for the various initiatives and capacity buildings directed to local communities for the conservation and sustainable use of resources and particularly for the implementation of a Management Oriented Monitoring System based on the use of Marine and coastal resources by communities, that include to some extent the impacts of climate change. Ibo's permanent secretary also called for an active participation from all participants during the meeting and also for the potential use of this opportunity to contribute to update the information on the status of some resources in order to identify solutions/measures that can improve the effective management of resources, increase resilience to climate change, and consequently promote the sustainable development of communities at the Park area. Thus, the official opening of the workshop on the presentation and discussion of the results of the Management Oriented Monitoring System MOMS) of QNP was declared.

Workshop on the Presentation and Discussion of the MOMS Results

January 23th 2017 Ibo Island

3.3.1 DISCUSSION ON THE PRESENTED MOMS MONITORING RESULTS

3.3.1.1 Head of QNP Marine Office at Ibo Island, Mr. Ibrahimo Assane

Ibrahimo Assane, representing the QNP, stated that within the marine area of the Quirimbas National Park (QNP), there are prohibited zones for all and any extractive activity (Sanctuaries), as well as areas in which the community can practice the fishing activity. Quite obviously, with these limitations, the QNP authorities have been working towards better management of these areas. At the moment work on community awareness is being implemented locally to reduce illegal practices that occur which were presented at this workshop. In addition, Mr. Ibrahimo announced that as a result of enforcement actions, in 2016 fines and penalties were imposed on some offenders from Quissanga who were caught out intentionally fishing sea turtles, as this practice constitutes a crime equivalent to that of murder.

The head of Ibo's QNP office took the opportunity to appeal that all communities’ members have an individual and collective role to play within the QNP area. Hence, each individual should make the efforts to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. He also emphasized that everyone "works for the Park and with the Park, but only the park rangers, who are sworn in, have the authority to act in accordance with the Laws and to execute the necessary seizures in the occurrence of unlawful acts.

During his contribution, he requested the community agents to provide information and reporting to the QNP authorities during the recording of illegal activities and also to map their occurrences in order to ensure the immediate action of the rangers. The representatives of the QNP, made available their mobile phone numbers to the community agents in order to operationalize a new strategy of communication between the community agents and the QNP authorities.

3.3.1.2 Ibo, Naúnde, Guludo district government authorities; QNP/Marine Delegation Representatives and Community and Religious at Ibo, Matemo and Quirimba

The government authorities and representatives of QNP's management and inspection department that were attending the meeting acknowledged that the presented MOMS data revealed that the practice of illegal activities in the Park is intense and this scenario may undermine the integrity of the park, i.e., the welfare of nature and the communities including the generations to come. It was pointed out that what is even more worrying is the fact that monitoring data has surprisingly demonstrated that the practitioners of these illegal activities

Workshop on the Presentation and Discussion of the MOMS Results

January 23th 2017 Ibo Island

are mostly native and non-migratory fishermen who have been routinely identified as practicing illegal fishing and poaching in this area.

It was recognized the need to strengthen community awareness activities to promote reporting of illegal acts committed by the so-called "children of the household", i.e., to promote reporting "children of the house" by "children of the house", which usually remain silent.

Community/religious leaders emphasized that if the practice of illegal activities continues to occur at the current frequency, there will be insufficient resources for the survival of future generations.

The Ibo district government asked the agents to strengthen the collaboration with the park's rangers, including with the local government itself in sharing information and reporting illegal acts. This is to eliminate the "evils" that may affect the nature and sustainable development of communities in the QNP area.

The use of poisonous plants for fishing, locally known as "utupa" and "Pindula", was presented as a frequent practice on Ibo, Matemo and Quirimba islands. There was intense debate about this practice, which overcame the other issues. This is because one of the participants contested the fact that MOMS agents registered this practice in deep water areas and did not present any photos to confirm the veracity of the use of these poisonous plants. He believed poisonous plants are only used in shallow waters.

However, MOMS agents and community and religious leaders, including the government representatives of Naunde and Guludo, have confirmed that poisonous plants ("utupa" and "Pindula") are used for fishing from the islands to the mainland, and both in shallow waters as well as in deep waters (Ibo, Matemo, Quirimba, Naúnde, Guludo). The amount of venom is prepared according to the depth of the fishing site; the plants are crushed and mixed with water. To fish in depths of at least 20 meters, a 20 liter container must be filled with the poisonous solution.

In the context of illegal fishermen at sanctuaries, Matemo's community leader, Mr. Amade Saíde, expressed his gratitude for the presence of the heads of Naunde and Guludo localities in this workshop. He then called for an urgent action to improve the effectiveness of Matemo's sanctuary, which is daily invaded by fishermen from Naunde and Guludo. It also emphasized the need to support CCPs through training and spread QNP´s conservation law, regulations and management plan so that members can contribute to a better awareness of local communities by promoting pro-environmental behaviors.

Workshop on the Presentation and Discussion of the MOMS Results

January 23th 2017 Ibo Island

Regarding the discussion on the provenance of furtive fishermen from the Matemo sanctuary, the heads of the Naunde and Guludo localities accepted and emphasized that they came mainly from their governance locations. In addition to the list of illegal activities presented and discussed in this session, the representatives of Naunde and Guludo reported that night fishing has been intensively practiced in recent times by migratory fishermen, who use lanterns with a lighting capacity well above a flashlight. They have recognized that this practice can affect the balance of ecosystems and their services, including nesting of sea turtles. They therefore called for closer inspection and collaboration with the QNP authorities.

Also in this discussion session, the participants suggested the extension of the MOMS to other locations indicated by community leaders and local leaders as the areas with greater numbers of illegal fishermen from the sanctuaries and especially the areas of origin of those who practice intentional turtle fishing, such as Arimba, Naunde, Guludo and Quissanga.

3.3.1.3 SDAE´s Administrator and Director –Quissanga District

His Excellency, the Governor of Quissanga District, Mr. Bartolomeu Muibo, acknowledged the importance and positive impact of the work carried out by MOMS community agents, including WWF's role in the conservation of nature and the sustainable development of communities. He stressed the need to extend this monitoring system to other areas that are not yet integrated into WWF projects, but special attention should be paid, including the Quissanga district. He ended his speech by thanking the Quissanga district for the invitation to be a part in the process to promoting a participatory and effective management of the natural resources of the QNP.

The Director of SDAE of the district of Quissanga, Mr. Manuel Teodoro highlighted the need to involve other state institutions (MITADER, MIMAP), for potential use of the presented results and to consolidate monitoring methodologies and avoid unnecessary repetition in their data collection. This is because, he is aware that some environmental, resources and fisheries conservation institutions are currently working under a similar system of data collection.

He also emphasized the need to merge the work plans of MOMS community agents and park rangers in order to strengthen QNP´s monitoring process and raise awareness of local communities about the urgent need for the sustainable use of natural resources. To end his speech, Mr. Teodoro stressed that this monitoring system should be shared and implemented in other regions, for a more comprehensive and representative contribution of the Park area and implementation of effective management measures.

3.3.1.4 International Representatives (WWF Sweden and Netherlands)

WWF-Sweden marine and fisheries expert Ms. Inger Näslund made some recommendations for the management and sustainable use of resources in the QNP area. She started her speech by saying that she was positively impressed and happy to be able to witness the interest of the communities, from the islands to the continent, to discuss the status and management of natural resources, which, when successful, automatically promotes communities development.

Inger Näslund shared her experience in the monitoring and management of fisheries resources in her country. She encouraged communities to develop monitoring and identify problems and opportunities in a participatory manner. Local fishermen participated in the monitoring and data valorization, quotas were implemented based on these data in order to avoid the depletion of fishing resources where catches were drastically reducing in the region.

The specialist also pointed out that if the illegal actions continue at the current scenario and pace in which they were presented, obviously future generations will be harmed, because the resources will be exhausted and there will be no means of subsistence from the sea, which is the main source of food and income for the QNP communities. In conclusion, Inger emphasized that all members of the communities have an important role in the management of this Park.

3.5 SESSION V: FINAL REMARKS AND WORKSHOP CLOSURE

The last comments on the workshop were presented by Quissanga District´s Administrator, Mr. Bartolomeu Muibo and Permanent Secretary of the Ibo District, Mr. Sáide Amade. Mr. Quissanga, emphasized the fact that WWF is implementing efforts at local level to discuss resource management matters in a more participatory and inclusive manner, thus establishing mechanisms and initiatives for decision-making on resource management in a collaborative way involving the users of the resources themselves up to the entities responsible for decision-making. He also emphasized that the main role of WWF in supporting the implementation of the QNP Management Plan is recognizable by the activities it has developed for the purpose of promoting natural resources conservation in general and in particular in the QNP area. To conclude his speech, emphasized that on behalf of the Quissanga district government, he is available to collaborate with local partners, including the WWF, to implement effective measures that contribute to the sustainable use of natural resources and the welfare of communities. Subsequently, Ibo District´s PS, Saíde Amade, began his last speech and closing remarks, highlighting the following recommendations:

 There is an urgent need to impose a discipline on the use of resources by communities in order to promote changes in the behavior of certain members, otherwise illegal practices will persist and future generations will not benefit from the resources that exist today which is the main source of subsistence for the families in the QNP;

 There should be improvements in the implementation of existing management measures through the implementation of other more concrete actions, as the presented results of MOMS indicate that most of the offenses are committed by native people, who are "our children and children of the house";

 In addition to conducting MOMS monitoring patrols, recording and analyzing information, community agents should share the results with their families and community members, and invest in community awareness to eliminate the practice of illegal activities. To conclude, the PS thanked the participants for accepting the invitation from WWF to jointly invest their efforts in the initiatives that have been developed with the main objective of finding solutions for the actions that present a threat to the welfare of the natural resources and sustainable development of the Quirimbas National Park communities.
