A study to estimate the relative importance of mangrove primary carbon and nitrogen sources to five commercial penaeid shrimps species was done at Saco da lnhaca, a non-estuarine mangrove-fringed bay on Inhaca Island, southern Mozambique. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios were determined in a variety of primary producers (mangroves, epiphytes, phytoplankton and seagrasses), sediments and in five penaeid shrimp species (Penaeus (Fenneropenaeus) indicus, P. japonicus, P. semisulcatus, Metapenaeus monoceros and M. stebbingi), collected within the bay in different habitats and during two different periods.

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.

1. Pollution of mangrove ecosystems puts their future and that of local communities at risk. 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.

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.

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?

Two surveys were conducted in the Mozambique Channel in November 2009 and April/May 2010 to study the influence of mesoscale eddies on the zooplanktonic component of the ecosystem. Three complementary methods were used to sample zooplankton: (1) hydro-acoustics with a TAPS™ multi-frequency zooplankton profiler; (2) in situ biological sampling using a Multinet with samples processed via the classical settled biovolume technique; (3) ZooScan image analysis which determines biovolume, size and taxonomic composition. This approach presented an ideal opportunity to compare the results of these different methods which highlighted a large overlap in their detectable size range.

Coastal aggregations of whale sharks Rhincodon typus around the world are generally seasonal and driven by prey availability. At a major aggregation site in southern Mozambique, whale sharks are, somewhat unusually, present and seen feeding throughout the year. We investigated potential oceanographic mechanisms that may regulate prey availability on the narrow regional shelf and hence account for this year-round whale shark hotspot.

The variability of hydrographic characteristics and phytoplankton distribution associated with mesoscale eddies in the Mozambique Channel was investigated during four cruises in September 2007, December 2008, November 2009, and April/May 2010. Satellite altimetry was used to map the location of mesoscale features, and together with ETOPO1 bathymetry, it was entered into a Discriminant Function Analysis to classify sampling stations into five categories, namely cyclonic, anti-cyclonic, frontal, divergence, and shelf. Fluorescence profiles were integrated through four depth ranges in the upper 200m and used to determine the depth of the maximum chlorophyll a concentration and to model the euphotic zone depth.

Variation of phytoplankton assemblages along the Mozambique coast as revealed by HPLC and microscopy
This study is an integrated overview of pigment and microscopic analysis of phytoplankton communities throughout the Mozambican coast. Collected samples revealed notable patterns of phytoplankton occurrence and distribution, with community structure changing between regions and sample depth. Pigment data showed Delagoa Bight, Sofala Bank and Angoche as the most productive regions throughout the sampled area. In general, micro-sized phytoplankton, particularly diatoms, were important contributors to biomass both at surface and sub-surface maximum (SSM) samples, although were almost absent in the northern stations. In contrast, nanoand pico-sized phytoplankton revealed opposing patterns.

Suppressing and enhancing effects of mesoscale dynamics on biological production in the Mozambique Channel
We used a coupled physical-biogeochemical model to investigate how the strong eddy activity typical of the Mozambique Channel affects biological production. A numerical experiment was carried out, in which mesoscale dynamics were suppressed by cancelling the nonlinear terms for horizontal momentum in the Naviers-Stokes equation.

Mozambique has no national fleet for tuna and tuna like species so tuna (Thunnus albacares, Thunnus obesus and T.alalunga) are caught by foreign fleet. However since 2011 a national flagged longliner started fishing in Mozambican coast. Catch composition showed that sixty percent of the catch was made up shark and the main species caught were Prionace glauca, Isurus oxyrinchus, Carcharinus sorrah , Squalus asper and Carcharinus leucas. The best catches and catch rates were obtained in July and September.

Systematics and zoogeography of Asteroidea (Echinodermata) from Inhaca Island, Mozambique
Walenkamp, J.

Maputo
Sixteen out of the seventeen species of shallow-water starfishes reported with certainty from Inhaca Island and Maputo Bay were collected by the author. The seventeenth, Archaster angulatus, was recorded from there by Jangoux (1973). An identification key to these species, both in English and in Portuguese is presented. Four species have not been mentioned previously from Inhaca waters, viz. Astropecten monacanthus (because of earlier incorrect identifications), Monachaster sanderi, not known to occur further south than Zanzibar, Fromia milleporella and Ophidiaster hemprichii, which were not previously known to occur south of Madagascar. Stellaster equestris was found washed ashore on a sandy beach a little north of Maputo.

The presence of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) along the coast of Mozambique has not been recorded since the close of commercial whaling in 1923. This paper describes ten sightings (5 ‘confirmed’ and 5 ‘probable’) made from landbased observations, boat-based ‘single-day’ surveys as well as land-based and inshore boat-based incidental sightings between 1997 and 2009. The number of sightings increased over the 1997 and 2009 time period and occurred only during August and September. On one occasion, a mother-calf pair was recorded. We also describe an interaction between a southern right whale and humpback whale, which was observed on at least two days.

Understanding the temporal variation of sea turtles nests and the processes driving those variations is of extreme importance to improve the efficiency of the monitoring and management measures at the nesting beaches. In that perspective the present study aimed to describe the temporal nesting activity of two sea turtle species at Inhaca island based on the long-term database on sea turtle nidification (~27 years).

Inhaca is an Island located inside Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve and inhibitants on the Island are depending on artisanal fisheries as one of the dominating livelihoods. The main purpose with this study was to find out to what extent this new reserve could affect the artisanal fisheries on Inhaca by collecting basic information about their fishery such as fishing grounds and transportation facilities. This was made with the method of semi-structured interviews with 32 fishermen on Inhaca born and raised on the island. The fishing grounds were compiled into a map to see if they are located inside or outside the new restricted area. The result showed that the majority of the fishing grounds were situated within the new restricted zone.
