Inhambane
The coral reefs around Praia do Tofo, southern Mozambique, are known for their aggregations of marine megafauna but as yet few studies have comprehensively examined their broader biodiversity. This study is the first to assess the ichthyofaunal diversity of this economically important area. Methodology involved SCUBA and snorkel underwater visual censuses conducted between February and May, 2016, and the use of photographic records from 2015 to capture rare species.

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]).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 1997-1998 El Nino southern oscillation (ENSO) caused elevated sea temperatures that resulted in global coral bleaching. Coral reefs constitute an important biological resource in terms of their complex biodiversity and are the basis for tropical reef fisheries and marine ecotourism. They represent one of Mozambique's main coastal assets and its coastal communities and growing tourism industry rely mainly on reef-based resources. Mozambican artisanal fisheries are largely centred on reefs and are responsible for about 70% of the total catch, highlighting their importance.

Aspects of the biology of three fish species, Apogon nigripinnis, Leptoscarus vaigiensis and Siganus sutor, associated with seagrass beds (Thalassodendron ciliatum I Cymodocea serrulata and Thalassia hemprichii I Halodule wrightii) were studied at Inhaca Island (Mozambique). Stomach con- tents analysis showed that both L. vaigiensis and S. sutor are herbivorous and A nigripinnis is carnivo- rous. A. nigripinnis spawns between October and March, and S. sutor between September and Febru- ary. In the case of L. vaigiensis, mature individuals were found during almost all times of the year. Monthly occurrences from day and night sampling are described for these species in the r. ciliatum IC. serrulata seagrass association

O Arquipélago do Bazaruto suporta uma actividade extremamente importante de exploração da ostra localmente conhecida por mapalo ou ostra de areia. Esta ostra pertence ao grupo das ostras perlíferas Akoya que devido à grande confusão na taxonomia das espécies que compõem o grupo, é designada por complexo fucata/martensii/radiata/imbricata. O elevado nível de exploração desta ostra vem já sendo mencionado ao longo dos últimos 20 anos, como estando a conduzir à diminuição do manancial (stock) de mapalo no Parque Nacional do Arquipélago do Bazaruto (PNAB). No entanto, não foi efectuado nenhum estudo aprofundado sobre esta actividade no PNAB.

Scientific information on how penaeid shrimps are distributed within mangrove ecosystems is scarce, which presents an obstacle for fisheries as well as mangrove management. This study investigated the prime nursery microhabitats for the two major commercial species in Mozambique—Penaeus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros. Stake net enclosures were used to sample shrimps living among unvegetated shallows and mangroves at Inhaca Island, Mozambique, during three consecutive spring tide periods. Four microhabitats were sampled: (1) sand flat; (2) fringe Avicennia marina on sandy substrate; (3) fringe A. marina on muddy substrate; and (4) interior A. marina adjacent to the supratidal terrestrial margin.

The formation and evolution of the barrier islands of Inhaca and Bazaruto, Mozambique
Armitage, A. Et al.

Geomorphology
Inhambane; Maputo
The barrier islands of Inhaca and Bazaruto are related to the extensive coastal dune system of the Mozambican coastal plain, south-east Africa. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of key stratigraphic units indicates that accretion of sediment within these systems is episodic. Both islands appear to have been initiated as spits extending from structural offsets in the coastline. Superposition of significant quantities of sediment upon these spits during subsequent sea-level highstands formed the core of the islands, which were anchored and protected by beachrock and aeolianite formation.

Only the use of informed and integrative approaches will successfully maintain and restore these valuable ecosystems. 2. Biochemical indicators of organism physiological condition have been widely used to evaluate habitat quality and for early detection of the impact of stressors. Mangrove crabs may be useful bioindicators of the quality of mangrove habitats, as they are characteristic and ecologically important organisms in mangrove environments.

Mangroves are recognized for their valued ecosystem services provision while having the highest carbon density among forested ecosystems. Yet they are increasingly threatened by deforestation, conversion to agriculture and development, reducing the benefits they provide for local livelihoods, coastal protection and climate change mitigation. Accordingly, accurate estimates of mangrove area and change are fundamental for developing strategies for sustainable use, conservation and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+).

Despite their well-researched and widely recognized socioeconomic and ecological value, mangroves are among the world’s most threatened vegetation types. More than a fifth of the world’s mangroves have been lost over the past 30 years alone, and many of the remaining forests are degraded. The depletion of mangroves in many developing countries in particular is a cause for serious environmental and economic concern. This stems from the fact that mangroves play a vital role in moderating monsoonal tidal floods as well as other forms of coastal protection. Mangroves support numerous forms of fauna and flora, as well as estuarine and near-shore fisheries.

The Sofala Bank, a wide shelf located along the central coast of Mozambique, hosts tides with high amplitudes. The Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) was used to analyse the tidal currents on the bank and to investigate their effects on the stratification and generation of tidal fronts. During spring tides, barotropic tidal currents with maximum values ranging from 40 cm s–1 to 70 cm s–1 are found on the central bank. The major axis of the tidal ellipses for M2 and S2 follow a cross-shelf direction with mainly anticlockwise rotation. Similar to observations, three distinct regimes occur: (i) a warm well-mixed region on the inner shelf where the depths are <30 m; (ii) a wellmixed colder region above the shelf edge

The ecology and abundance of humpback dolphins inhabiting Maputo Bay were studied between December 1995 and December 1997 through boat-based surveys and photo-identification mark-recapture analysis. The sighting rate was low, corresponding to 21% of 146 surveys conducted. Estimated group size (mean=14.9 ± SD 7.32 individuals) was the largest reported for the eastern Africa region and did not change significantly with month, season, daylight, or tidal state. The proportion of individually marked adults was high among adults (0.52) and in a dolphin group (0.26). There is evidence for summer influxes of humpback dolphins into eastern Maputo Bay, and there are considerable numbers of apparently transient individuals.

Monthly plankton sampling was carried out at three stations on the west coast of Inhaca Island, southern Mozambique, from August 1994 to August 1995. Sampling included water mass physical parameters, nutrients, chlorophyll and zooplankton with nets of 125 and 330 um pore aperture. Nutrient concentration has shown maxima during the summer months, where rain provides the maximum outflow of rivers discharging into Maputo Bay. Following the nutrient peak, chlorophyll a has shown maxima around the month of April, with another minor peak in September, when temperature begins to increase. Zooplankton densities followed closely the phytoplankton peaks, especially small herbivorous taxa and larval stages, such as gastropod and bivalve larvae.

1. The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is a popular focal species within the global marine tourism industry. Although this has contributed to increased protection being granted to the species in several countries, tourism itself can be detrimental to the sharks in the absence of appropriate management. Potential impacts can be mitigated, at least in the short term, by adherence to well-designed interaction guidelines. 2. A burgeoning marine tourism industry based on swimming with whale sharks has developed at Tofo Beach in Mozambique. However, no formal management is currently in place at this site.

As tartarugas marinhas são um grupo relativamente único entre os répteis, uma vez que são dos poucos répteis verdadeiramente marinhos. Elas permanecem no entanto ligadas à terra, uma vez que dependem dela para a incubação dos seus ovos. A identificação das possíveis pistas que conduzem a selecção do local de nidificação tem recebido uma atenção considerável. É provável que as tartarugas marinhas usem múltiplos factores ambientais na escolha do local de nidificação, quer pela integração da informação ambiental, quer pelo uso de limiares críticos que devem ser alcançados para cada um dos factores ambientais.

A co-gestão, ou gestão participativa das pescas, consiste em devolver, ou abrir, à comunidade a gestão das pescas. Este trabalho, realizado no norte de Moçambique, analisou os impactos ecológicos e sociais da implementação da co-gestão das pescas. Primeiro foram encontradas e fotografadas 198 espécies ictíicas e produzido um guia de identificação de peixes de cabo delgado, essencial para quem trabalha no meio marinho. De seguida, o efeito de transbordamento foi detectado num santuário comunitário, para peixes herbívoros mas não para carnívoros, ao fim de seis anos.

The sesarmid Perisarma guttatum is the most abundant crab species inhabiting the lower mangrove areas at Inhaca Island, and presumably an ecologically important species in this habitat. Among the scarce available information on its population ecology, this species is known to follow a semilunar rhythm of larval release, with breeding probably extended year-round. In this study, a population of P. guttatum was examined, from which estimates of sexual maturity were carried out for both sexes, and breeding activity was monitored to describe short-term variation of reproductive intensity.

Production of coral reef habitat maps from high spatial resolution multispectral imagery is common practice and benefits from standardized accuracy assessment methods and many informative studies on the merits of different processing algorithms. However, few studies consider the full production workflow, including factors such as operator influence, visual interpretation and a-priori knowledge. An end-user might justifiably ask: Given the same imagery and field data, how consistent would two independent production efforts be?

Maputo
Latreutes pymoeus is a poorly studied tropical and sub-tropical shrimp species that mainly lives on sea grass beds. Samples were collected from sea grass beds of Inhaca Island, Mozambique, during August 2005 at neap/ spring and low/high tides. Specimens were identified, sexed, counted and morphometric measurements were made. Ovigerous females were classified as small (carapace length (CL): 2.7–3.2 mm), medium (CL: 3.3–3.8 mm) and large (CL: 3.9–4.4 mm). Embryo masses were carefully removed from the pleopods with forceps, eggs staged and counted.

Moçambique possui uma considerável rede de áreas de conservação, dentre as quais três são marinhas. As Áreas Marinhas Protegidas (AMPs) existentes no país (e outras áreas propostas) têm, nos últimos anos, recebido uma maior atenção nas áreas de investigação científica, gestão e financiamento. No entanto, aspectos relacionados com a efectividade e representatividade dessas áreas no que concerne a conservação da biodiversidade, têm sido pouco estudados e ainda carecem de atenção.
