| While terrestrial parks and reserves have existed in Tanzania since colonial times, marine protected areas are a much newer endeavor in natural resource conservation. As the importance of marine conservation came to the international forefront in the 1990s, Tanzania experienced a rapid establishment and expansion of marine parks and protected areas. These efforts were indeed crucial to protecting the country’s marine resource base, but they also had significant implications for the lives and fishing patterns of local artisanal fishermen. Terrestrial protected areas in Tanzania have historically been riddled with conflict and local contestation, bringing about numerous debates on the best ways to involve rural residents in conservation planning efforts to... |

| The group of islands incorporating Mafia Island lie off the east coast of Africa and are a part of mainland Tanzania (Figure 1). The islands are within 20 km of the mainland coast and under the influence of Tanzania’s largest river, the Rufiji. Mafia Island Marine Park (MIMP) was gazetted in April 1995, and its boundary incorporates varied coral reef, mangrove, seagrass and soft bottom habitats, islands of raised Pleistocene reef, cays, and coastal forest with a total area of 821 km2 (Fig. 2). This paper critiques the process and motives for the establishment of the MIMP. The paper explores conservation advantages and disadvantages of the establishment of the Park and the use of the World Conservation Union/Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (IUCN/GBRMP)... |

| Eastern Africa contains an extensive network of marine protected areas (MPAs), stretching from the Red Sea states of Sudan, Eritrea and Djibouti, along the Indian Ocean coastline of Somaliland, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique, and out to the Indian Ocean islands of Seychelles, Comoros, Réunion, Mauritius and Madagascar. Most of these MPAs have been gazetted because they contain species or habitats of particular interest, importance or conservation concern that are under threat in some way. The main threats to Eastern Africa’s MPAs arise from human economic activities. These include over-fishing and destructive fishing techniques (such as poison fishing, dynamite fishing and the use of small-mesh nets), the over-harvesting of other marine products... |

| The EUCARE teams original proposal was to map the uncharted reefs of Belo sur Mer in western Madagascar, but due to the current political situation at the time, it would have been impossible for EUCARE to fulfil all objectives laid out before the expedition commenced. The team followed up their contingency plan to the Comoros archipelago1. The archipelago comprises of four isolated volcanic islands in the Western Indian Ocean, located to the east of Northern Mozambique and North West of Madagascar. The Marine Park of Moheli (PMM) is situated in the southern extremity of Moheli, the smallest and youngest of the Islands in the Comoros archipelago2,3 (see figure 1). It covers an area of 404 km2 along the south and west coasts of the island and extends from... |

| The Kenyan coastline is approximately 500 km long, with a well developed fringing reef system except where major rivers (Tana and Athi Sabaki) discharge into the Indian Ocean (Hamilton and Brakel, 1984). Additionally patch reefs occur in Malindi and Kiunga in the north and Shimoni in the south on the Kenya Tanzania border (Fig. 1). Coral reefs are the predominant marine ecosystem in terms of ecology and economy but seagrass beds and mangrove forests also contribute to the economy of the coastal communities ( Muthiga ITMEMS). The coastal topography, climate and habitats of the Kenyan coast have been described in McClanahan 1988, McClanahan and Young 1986, Obura et al 2000). In order to conserve and manage these important ecosystems, the government of Kenya... |

| Typically, coral reefs are dominated by sedentary colonial organisms. Species compositions are temporally and spatially dynamic and populations may be seen to interact through similar mechanisms as those observed in terrestrial plant communities. In these areas, intense competition for limited niche space, selects for varied defensive and offensive strategies and reproductive life history traits. |

| Between September 2001 and September 2002, Ultima Esperanza fjord and Señoret Channel were surveyed, sailing from Puerto Natales. Information on abundance, structure and distribution of aquatic and land birds observed during the sail is presented. We found 30 species of aquatic birds and 3 land birds.: 1 In Danger, 3 Vulnerables and 1 Insufficiently known. Our analysis shows that these fjords contained one of the biggest winter abundance of birds of the region and is a nesting area for many species. Furthermore, we proposed that the fjord constitute a core area for aquatic birds in summer when fresh water lagoons and ponds get dry. Finally, we make special reference to the need to implement a management plan in the area. |

| Chumbe Island Coral Park (CHICOP) illustrates issues that arise with the establishment of a private marine protected area. Though the legal and institutional environment for private investment in conservation in Zanzibar/Tanzania required much higher investment than originally anticipated, establishment and management of the park cost only a fraction of what is commonly budgeted for donorfunded projects through government agencies. Out of necessity, cost control and income-generating activities of private operations are more developed, thus creating better prospects for sustainability. Training local fishermen as park rangers by volunteers proved to be particularly cost effective and crucial to the success of the MPA and facilitates direct partnership with... |

| Marine protected areas (MPAs) are defined as “Any area of the littoral or subtidal terrain, together with its overlying water and associated flora, fauna, historical and cultural features, which has been reserved by law or other effective means to protect part or all of the enclosed environment” (Kelleher and Kenchington, 1992). This definition includes intertidal reserves, as well as areas for the protection of shipwrecks and archaeological remains. Marine protected areas are designated to conserve the diversity of life according to the three aspects of Biodiversity: ecosystems diversity (habitats and species), species richness and genetic diversity. Also MPAs play a key role in promoting sustainable development. They are designed to enhance the... |

| For countless centuries, fishing-dependent indigenous communities have protected their marine environments from over-exploitation. Understanding that proper conservation guaranteed food for future generations, many of these communities fished only during certain times of the year, or divided up fishing grounds based on familial ties. However, as these communities lost water rights following the formation of certain nation-states, and international fishing fleets moved into the world’s oceans, a need arose to devise new techniques for protecting marine environments. Not only is this protection necessary to maintain biodiversity, but also to guarantee food security and the cultural traditions of fishing villages around the world. In 1957, British biologists... |

| El presente estudio consiste en un análisis descriptivo de los parámetros físicos (temperatura-salinidad) y corrientes superficiales y sub-superficiales, obtenidos en los sitios de visita turística de la Reserva Marina de Galápagos (RMG), los cuales describen las condiciones oceanográficas de dichos lugares. Estos datos han sido procesados con el propósito de establecer una caracterización de la temperatura superficial del mar en estos sitios, y sus variaciones a lo largo del 2011. Esta caracterización será soportada con el uso de los datos del Análisis Operacional de Temperatura Superficial del Mar y de Hielo Marino (UKMO-L4HRfnd-GLOB-OSTIA) a fin de conseguir una continuidad en la serie de tiempo anual. |

| The Kenyan coastline is approximately 500 km long, and stretches from 1° 42’ S to 4° 40’ S bordering Somalia in the North and Tanzania in the south (Fig. 1). It has a well-developed fringing reef system. The major oceanographic currents largely drive patterns of coastal currents. South of Malindi, the East African coastal current flows northeast throughout the year coming up from Tanzania and originally driven by the south equatorial current.... |

| Protected areas are widely held to be among the most effective means of conserving biological diversity in situ (McNeely and Miller, 1984; MacKinnon et al., 1986; Leader-Williams et al., 1990). A considerable amount of resources has been invested in their establishment over the last century or more, with the result that most countries have established or, at least, planned national systems of protected areas. The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent of the world's protected areas globally and regionally and to consider other options for its further strengthening and development during the twenty-first century. |

| This report presents a literature review of marine protected areas (MPAs) throughout the world, with an emphasis on 16 case studies that involve community participation and indigenous peoples. Details of three MPAs, namely the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Australia, San Salvador Marine Reserve in the Philippines, and the Fagatele Bay Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa, are included to illustrate the importance of community involvement in establishing MPAs. A table summarises each MPA reviewed in terms of its establishment, purpose, level of protection, planning and management process, enforcement, community involvement, problems and results. The successful establishment of marine reserves or marine protected areas depends largely on public support and... |

| Two coral species, Porites palmata and Porites lutea, were transplanted into three distinct management areas adjacent to the Mombasa Marine National Park, Kenya: A no-fishing MPA; a gear-restricted reserve with no beach seining; and a reserve with beach seining. Corallivory by fish or breakage by fishing gear was measured over a 57-day period. Porites palmata, the branching species, was more susceptible to disturbance than Porites lutea, the massive species, which showed no difference in mortality rate between the three management areas. Porites palmata was affected more by corallivory than fishing gear and, therefore, suffered more damage from coral predators in the no-fishing MPA. Corals transplanted into the gearrestricted fishing site had the highest... |
