| The first studies undertaken in Mozambique regarding reef fishes were carried out at Inhaca Island in the final 30’s (Lopes 1937; 1938). In the 50’s and 60’s, mainly taxonomic studies were conducted and reef fish species lists were made available especially for Inhaca Island (e.g. Smith 1958; Sanches 1963; Smith 1968). Only recently, investigations of other aspects of the reef fish fauna has begun. Kalk (1995) elaborated on the trophic composition of the reef fish fauna at Inhaca Island and Loureiro (1998) studied the artisanal reef fisheries in Mécufi District, north of Mozambique. Under the Darwin/Frontier Mozambique project (Whittington et al. 1998) the diversity, species composition, abundance and fisheries of the coral reef fish fauna of the Quirimbas... |

| Although the aspects of both land use and coastal management represent part of the larger concept of sustainable development, the strength and interest with which these aspects are received varies considerably among countries. It is well known that land use planning can facilitate the allocation of land to those use(s) that provide the greatest sustainable benefits. However, in order to achieve a sustainable land use planning, an in-depth analysis of the existing resources is required (e.g. localization, features, sensitivity to development). Furthermore, the understanding of development characteristics (resource needs and collateral efforts), would make it possible to identify the use of natural resources. In that regard Sense and Toccolini (1998)... |

| The South African 3 000 km coastline has approximately 370 outlets to the sea ranging from small coastal streams to large permanently open tidal estuaries. The current state of scientific information on the vast majority of these systems, however, is virtually nil. As part of a national program to assess the state of South Africa’s estuarine environment, basic surveys were conducted on these systems during the period 1992 to 1999. This included ichthyofauna (fish), water quality, and geomorphological and aesthetic observations. Some 67% of South Africa’s ‘estuaries’ have been surveyed to date. This baseline data has been analysed and synthesised to render it understandable to the non-specialist but at a sufficiently high level to inform potential end users... |

| A pilot reef monitoring study was conducted in 1998 to assess the extent of coral bleaching in the Maldives. The aims of this monitoring exercise were: 1. To quantitatively document the post-bleaching status of the shallow-water coral communities on the reefs of the north, central and southern regions of Maldives. 2. To estimate bleaching-induced coral mortality by comparing data yielded by the pilot survey with data from previous surveys, especially those sites for which historical data are available. |

| The main objective of the State of Environment in Africa report is to identify and highlight the major environmental issues of concern on the continent and to make recommendations for action. The information presented confirms that the state of the environment in Africa has been (and continues to be) influenced principally by rapid population growth, increasing and chronic poverty and inappropriate development practices, especially agriculture production methods. These factors have led to what has become popularly known as the population-agriculture-environment nexus. Other factors include unfavourable terms of international trade, the debt burden, the impact of drought and other natural disasters, and ineffective development policies. The cumulative... |

| The Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD) Project is an Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) programme designed as an end to end system for data collected by ships as they traverse their ocean tracks. The goal of the GOSUD Project is to develop and implement the data system for ocean surface data, to acquire and manage these data and to provide a mechanism to integrate these data with other types of data collected in the world oceans. For the purposes of this Project, the data concerned are those collected as a platform is underway from the ocean surface down to about 15m depth. Development of the GOSUD Project began in 2000 with expressions of interest at the IODE meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. A preliminary meeting was held in Brest,... |

| About 30% of the 100 million inhabitants of the western Indian Ocean (WIO) region reside in the coastal strip and are heavily dependent on goods and services provided by oceans and coasts. Coastal areas provide food and resources which support the economies of coastal states of the western Indian Ocean such as fisheries, shipping, petroleum exploitation, seabed mining, energy and tourism. Coastal and marine areas house a bounty of biodiversity and the oceans are also responsible for balancing the extremes of climate conditions. However, our efforts to effectively manage the use of coastal resources in a sustainable manner are constrained by inadequate knowledge in the ecosystems and inadequate capacities to generate the knowledge. This is compounded by the... |

| This text is a comparative study of biodiversity conservation practices and policies in Mozambique and Brazil. After a brief discussion of the concept of biodiversity and a general panorama of biodiversity in Mozambique, the author presents a detailed study of the Special Reserve of Maputo in Mozambique. It stresses the specific difficulties faced by conservation in a post war period and the problems to implement objectives, like those of a sustainable development and a participation of local communities, other than the direct protection of elephants which was the main reason for the creation of that reserve. Then, there is a rapid presentation of biodiversity in Brazil, particularly in the State of Ceara where are located the Ecological Station of Aiuba... |

| 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 Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is designed to safeguard the world's threatened biodiversity hotspots in developing countries. It is a joint initiative of Conservation International (CI), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan, the MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. CEPF supports projects in hotspots, areas with more than 60 percent of the Earth’s terrestrial species in just 1.4 percent of its land surface. A fundamental purpose of CEPF is to ensure that civil society is engaged in efforts to conserve biodiversity in the hotspots. An additional purpose is to ensure that those efforts complement existing strategies and frameworks established by local, regional and national governments. CEPF aims to promote... |
