Analysis of reef fisheries under co-management in Tanga

An essential element in the development, and monitoring, of resource management plans is the information provided by fisheries data collected across the three districts. The data collection protocol has been adapted since the Programme’s inception in 1994 and the most significant modification took place in January 2002. A more detailed analysis of the fisheries data was required in order to better determine the effect of the management plans and their associated activities. This consultancy therefore undertook a thorough review of all historical protocols, an analysis of the available fisheries data, and provides some recommendations on future monitoring protocols.
