South east African, high-latitude coral communities, a canary for western Indian Ocean coral reefs?
Mcdonald, A.; Schleyer, M. & Lamb, J.
2008
Proceedings of the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium
N/A
Whether south west Indian Ocean reef coral communities are resilient to anthropogenic and natural stressors will depend on their inherent ability to adapt to change. In this study, reef coral population diversity and relatedness were investigated at varied scales using molecular methods. Genetic diversity may be used as a proxy to gauge both the population dynamics and resilience of a community and was thus measured in two corals with different reproductive modes, larval dispersal capabilities and life history strategies. We used an intron region in the nuclear DNA of Acropora austera and the ITS region of the ribosomal DNA of Platygyra daedalea to compare genetic variability between populations.

Conservation of Coastal and Marine Biodiversity in the Eastern Africa Region: Progress in Implementation of the Jakarta Mandate
IUCN
2001
N/A
The conservation and sustainable use of marine and coastal biological diversity are among today’s most important environmental issues. This is particularly so in the Eastern African region, with its high marine biodiversity, rich marine and coastal resources, and growing human population dependent on those resources. Overexploitation of marine resources, pollution, habitat destruction and degradation all have a serious impact on marine and coastal ecosystems in the region. Of particular concern is coral bleaching, which had a catastrophic effect on reefs in the area in 1998/99 and which is believed to be linked to climate change.

N/A
The accurate quantification of the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of mangrove forests is of great importance, particularly in Africa where deforestation rates are high and the lack of background data is a major problem. The objectives of this study are to estimate (1) the total area, (2) canopy height distributions, and (3) above-ground biomass (AGB) of mangrove forests in Africa.

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
Cabo Delgado; Maputo; Nampula
The genetic structure and morphometric differentiation of mangrove crab Perisesarma guttatum populations were examined among shelf connected locations along a latitudinal gradient on the East African coast. Over 2200 specimens were sampled from 23 mangrove sites for geometric morphometrics analysis. Population genetic analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA sequences were used to evaluate connectivity among populations. A total of 73 haplotypes were detected, and almost no haplotypes were found in common between two highly supported phylogeographic clades: southern Mozambique (Inhaca Island and Maputo Bay) and a northern clade that included north Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya.

The aeolid nudibranch Fiona pinnata (Eschscholtz, 1831) is an obligate rafter that occurs exclusively on macroalgal rafts and other floating substrata, and has a seemingly cosmopolitan marine distribution. Mitochondrial (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA sequence data were generated from specimens collected worldwide to test for global connectivity in this species. Phylogeographic analyses revealed three divergent mtDNA lineages, two of which were abundant and widespread. One of these lineages has an apparent circumequatorial distribution, whereas the other may have an antitropical distribution within the Pacific Ocean.

Mudwhelks and mangroves: The evolutionary history of an ecological association (Gastropoda: Potamididae)
Reid, D. Et al.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
N/A
Most of the 29 living species of Potamididae show a close association with mangroves. The trees provide the snails with shelter, protection from predators, a solid substrate and sometimes food. Using sequences from three genes (nuclear 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA, mitochondrial COI) we derive a molecular phylogeny and recognize six living genera (Terebralia, Telescopium, Tympanotonos, Cerithidea, Cerithideopsis, Cerithideopsilla). The oldest modern genera (Terebralia, Cerithideopsis) appeared in the Tethyan realm in the Middle Eocene, shortly after the origin of mangrove trees.

Repeated eye reduction events reveal multiple pathways to degeneration in a family of marine snails
Sumner-Rooney, L. Et al.
2016
N/A
Eye reduction occurs in many troglobitic, fossorial, and deep-sea animals but there is no clear consensus on its evolutionary mechanism. Given the highly conserved and pleiotropic nature of many genes instrumental to eye development, degeneration might be expected to follow consistent evolutionary trajectories in closely related animals. We tested this in a comparative study of ocular anatomy in solariellid snails from deep and shallow marine habitats using morphological, histological, and tomographic techniques, contextualized phylogenetically. Of 67 species studied, 15 lack retinal pigmentation and at least seven have eyes enveloped by surrounding epithelium.

Global diversification of mangrove fauna: a molecular phylogeny of Littoraria (Gastropoda: Littorinidae)
Reid, D.; Dyal, P. & Williams, S.
2010
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
N/A
The genus Littoraria is one of very few molluscan groups that are closely associated with mangroves. We document its global evolutionary radiation and compare biogeographic patterns with those of mangrove plants, based on phylogenetic and fossil evidence. Using sequences from three genes (nuclear 28S rRNA, mitochondrial 12S rRNA and COI) we reconstruct a phylogeny of 37 of the 39 living morphospecies. Six monophyletic subgenera are defined (Bulimilittorina, Lamellilitorina, Littoraria, Palustorina, Protolittoraria, Littorinopsis) and we synonymize L. coccinea and L. glabrata.

N/A
The movements of some long-distance migrants are driven by innate compass headings that they follow on their first migrations (e.g., some birds and insects), while the movements of other first-time migrants are learned by following more experienced conspecifics (e.g., baleen whales). However, the overall roles of innate, learned, and social behaviors in driving migration goals in many taxa are poorly understood.

Global mammal distributions, biodiversity hotspots, and conservation
Ceballos, G. & Ehrilch, P.
2006
PNAS
N/A
Hotspots, which have played a central role in the selection of sites for reserves, require careful rethinking. We carried out a global examination of distributions of all nonmarine mammals to determine patterns of species richness, endemism, and endangerment, and to evaluate the degree of congruence among hotspots of these three measures of diversity in mammals. We then compare congruence of hotspots in two animal groups (mammals and birds) to assess the generality of these patterns. We defined hotspots as the richest 2.5% of cells in a global equal-area grid comparable to 1° latitude * 1° longitude. Hotspots of species richness, ‘‘endemism,’’ and extinction threat were noncongruent.

Monitoring programs for nesting turtles around the world have been important to build up a matrix of information for better comprehension of their behaviour and dispersion. The Western Indian Ocean has several monitoring programs that are being used to reveal migration routes, phylogenetic interconnections and nesting behaviour patterns. We determined the nesting parameters for 69 records of hawksbill turtles collected during the Vamizi Island monitoring program. We also determined carapace measurements parameters of the turtles caught by fishermen in the area and give some considerations to improve the conservation of this species.

Mangroves are salt tolerant plants that grow within the intertidal zone along tropical and subtropical coasts. They are important barriers for mitigating coastal disturbances, provide habitat for over 1300 animal species and are one of the most productive ecosystems. Mozambique’s mangroves extend along 2700 km and cover one of the largest areas in Africa. The purpose of this study was to determine the countrywide mean tree height spatial distribution and biomass of Mozambique’s mangrove forests using Landsat ETM+ and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. The SRTM data were calibrated using the Landsat derived land-cover map and height calibration equations.

We present the results of a survey undertaken in May 2008 in the Mozambican part of the Ruvuma River delta, Cabo Delgado Region. One hundred and forty- six species were observed, including nine individuals of the globally Endangered Madagascar Pond Heron Ardeola idae and eight of the 25 species restricted to the East African Coast biome occurring in Mozambique. Despite being still relatively well preserved, the Ruvuma Delta is highly threatened by rapidly expanding agriculture, hunting, planned oil and gas drilling, and illegal timber extraction. We suggest that part of the potentially huge incomes that will be generated by oil exploitation should be used to develop conservation initiatives in the area.

On 4 and 5 December 2000, Dr Bill Lane of the World Bank, invited a group of scientists and fisheries’ administrators from countries in the Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) to a meeting in Maputo. The purpose of this gathering was to explore opportunities for collaborating at a regional level in the sustainable development of shared offshore fishery resources. It was acknowledged that the enlarged EEZs of West Indian Ocean countries had not yet been translated into direct benefits for the countries concerned, nor indeed had they resulted in significant socio-economic upliftment of communities.

Inhambane
Marine and coastal ecosystem services experience declines worldwide. In the Province of Inhambane in Mozambique, tourism and fisheries are among the biggest drivers causing degradation of cultural, regulating and provisioning services. To understand tourism and fishery activities causing these declines, their influencers on marine and coastal habitats and fish were investigated. LMMAs are seen as an approach to halt degradation and to make the use of these services sustainable. The goal was to set up guidelines, categorized into the three dimensions of the Triangle of Sustainability: Ecological demands, policy and socio-economy. In that way, specific guidelines for LMMAs were created.

The mud crab Scylla serrata is a portunid brachyuran crab with a complex life cycle. It inhabits Indo-Pacific shores and recruits to mangrove forests where it resides during the juvenile phase, making burrows in the muddier parts of the forest, among the roots of Rhizophora mucronata. When it matures the crabs move offshore where reproduction takes place (Robertson and Kruger, 1994).

Spillover Effects of a Community-Managed Marine Reserve
sa Silva, I. Et al.

PLoS ONE
Cabo Delgado; Nampula
The value of no-take marine reserves as fisheries-management tools is controversial, particularly in high-poverty areas where human populations depend heavily on fish as a source of protein. Spillover, the net export of adult fish, is one mechanism by which no-take marine reserves may have a positive influence on adjacent fisheries. Spillover can contribute to poverty alleviation, although its effect is modulated by the number of fishermen and fishing intensity. In this study, we quantify the effects of a community-managed marine reserve in a high poverty area of Northern Mozambique.

Sofala
This study investigates the relationship between lunar cycles and catch rates of penaeid prawns on the Sofala Bank, where the fishery occurs for 6.5 to 9 months a year (starting in February or March), and assesses the potential for effort reduction and economic benefits from short-term closures during periods of the lunar cycle with predictably low catch-perunit-effort (CPUE).

In recent years there has been much interest in the conservation and tourism value of the Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique. Historically, biological and conservation work has been focused on the more accessible southern part of the Quirimbas. This paper is a contribution to the knowledge on the resources in the north of the Quirimbas following survey work conducted around Vamizi Island in 2001, 2003 and principally in 2006.

Landsat 5 TM imagery was used to study the distribution of coastal habitats along the Eastern African coast, from Mnazi Bay (Tanzania) south to Pemba Bay (Mozambique), across the mouth of the Ruvuma estuary and the Quirimbas archipelago. Eight classes of coastal habitats, adapted from the Ramsar convention classification –intertidal, and subtidal –were mapped at a coarse descriptive resolution using an unsupervised classification procedure. Results for 1995 and 2005 are presented, for the entire coastline, and in detail, for the areas of the Ruvuma estuary, Palma, Mocímboa da Praia, and Ibo Island.

III . Assessment of marine biological diversity and habitats
N/A
Sea turtles have migrated for millions of years between nesting sites and feeding grounds, sometimes swimming thousands of kilometers, passing through several countries and ecosystems, and interacting with human activities along the way—sometimes to their advantage but sometimes resulting in a premature end of their lives’ journeys. So it is in the Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO). This region hosts some of the most important green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting sites in the world, most of which are isolated on remote islands (for example, at Europa [Îles Eparses, France], Aldabra and Cosmoledo [Seychelles], and Moheli [Union of the Comoros]).

Coral collections and qualitative observations were made on the Bazaruto coral reefs in the Parque Nacional do Bazaruto. A checklist of species found on the reefs is presented with descriptions of their nature. Both the Alcyonacea and Scleractinia are well-represented on the reefs and their biodiversity is discussed in a regional context. The reefs constitute a valuable resource for ecotourism and recommendations are made for their sustainable use.

The effects of habitat characteristics (mangrove creek, sandflat, mudflat and seagrass meadow) water salinity, temperature, and depth on the density, spatial distribution and size distribution of juveniles of five commercially important penaied shrimp species (Metapenaus monoceros, M. stebbingi, Fenneropenaeus indicus, Penaeus japonicus and P. semisulcatus) were investigated during a high shrimp recruitment peak lasting from January to June 2002, in four contiguous habitats within a non-estuarine mangrove bay at Saco da Inhaca, Inhaca Island, Southern Mozambique.
