This report explains the ecology and social profile of coastal systems in Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania in order to contribute to the development of effective strategies to enhance the resilience of marine and coastal systems in the Western Indian Ocean. Special consideration is given to the effects and consequences of climate change and economic development.
This Guide provides a short description of each of the activities within the overall Information Management System, and uses of the system for adaptive management within the TCZCDP. The Guide is divided into two parts. The first part of the Guide provides an overview of the different elements within the overall Information Management System. The second part of the Guide provides details on how to use the database including installing the system, entering data and analysing and generating reports.
The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region is renowned for the attractiveness of its coastal zones, high marine biodiversity and rich marine and coastal resources, but the 30 million or so people who live on the coast of the WIO region have had a significant impact on its biodiversity. Responses to the crises facing marine and coastal biodiversity in this region have taken place at all levels; the most relevant global instrument is the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and its associated Jakarta Mandate.
