An Assessment of the Distribution and Conservation Status of Endemic and Near Endemic Plant Species in Maputaland
Matimele, H.
2016
Maputo
The Maputaland Centre of Endemism (MCE), an area stretching from northern-east KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa to the Limpopo River in southern Mozambique, holds more than 2,500 native plant species. Of those, over 203 are endemic or near endemic to this area. However, the current high human population density in MCE, coupled with high population growth, has increased the pressure on the natural resources of the region and threatens the natural vegetation and plant diversity.

2010
N/A
On 28 April, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center initiated a series of aerial surveys to assess the marine mammal and sea turtle species occurring within areas likely to be affected by oil from the Mississippi Canyon 252 (MS252) incident. There were two primary survey components. First, helicopter flights based in Houma, LA were executed to document the presence ofmarine mammals and sea turtles close to the site and within the oil slick itself. These surveys were designed on an adaptive basis to track the oil slick and support planning for mitigation efforts. Second, broad-scale synoptic surveys were conducted aboard the NOAA Twin Otter.

An annotated checklist of birds of the Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary
Read, C. Et al.
2014
The Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary (VCWS) lies on the San Sebastian Peninsula, Inhambane Province, southern Mozambique. The dominant terrestrial habitat is low miombo Brachystegia savanna. Less extensive terrestrial habitats include sand forest, dune forest, dune thicket, and open scrub. Freshwater wetlands form the area's most outstanding feature and include a large number of pans, permanent lakes, ephemeral and permanent marshes. Salt water habitats include large expanses of tidally-influenced sand salt marshes and mangroves in the Inhambane Estuary and along the northern and north-western shores of the peninsula.

Africa’s forests cover an estimated 674 million hectares (ha) or 23% of Africa’s land area and account for 16.7% of global forest cover. The region’s forests can be classified into nine categories including tropical rain forests, tropical moist forests, tropical dry forests, tropical shrubs, tropical mountain forest, subtropical humid forests, sub‐tropical dry forests, sub‐tropical mountain forests and plantations. The distribution of these forests varies from one sub‐region to another, with the southern extremes of the Sahara desert having the least forest cover while Central Africa has the densest cover.

The populations of Thelotornis in eastern Africa are reviewed. Thelotornis kirtlandii extend east of the Albertine rift to Uganda and the Imatong Mountains in southern Sudan, but in Tanzania it is only represented by a few relict populations in montane forests, surrounded by T. mossambicanus (Bocage) in the savanna. The latter taxon is recognised as a good evolutionary species, as it is sympatric with T. capensis oatesii (Günther) in Mutare District on the eastern escarpment of Zimbabwe. Thelotornis usambaricus sp. nov., intermediate between T. kirtlandii and T. mossambicanus, is described from coastal forests in northeastern Tanzania.

A new species of chameleon (Sauria: Chamaeleonidae: Nadzikambia) from Mount Mabu, central Mozambique
Branch, W. & Tolley, K.
2010
Nadzikambia is a monotypic genus described to accommodate the Mulanje chameleon, N. mlanjensis. During herpetological surveys of isolated mountains in Mozambique a population of chameleons was discovered on Mount Mabu. It is referable to the genus Nadzikambia, but features of scalation, colouration and genetic divergence distinguish this population from N. mlanjensis. It is described as a new species, Nadzikambia baylissi, and represents the second species in the genus and the first record of the genus in Mozambique. Notes on reproduction in N. mlanjensis are appended. The discovery of the new species in a mid-altitude evergreen forest remnant on Mount Mabu emphasises the high conservation importance of the region.

Cabo Delgado
A waterbird survey was carried out in December 2009 on nine marine islands in Quirimbas National Park, Mozambique. We counted 14,982 individuals of 34 species. Eighty-two per cent of the birds were Palearctic migrants. For six species (Crab-plover Dromas ardeola, White-fronted Plover Charadrius marginatus, Lesser Sand Plover C. mongolus, Greater Sand Plover C. leschenaultii, Grey Plover Pluvialis squatarola, Lesser Crested Tern Sterna bengalensis) numbers exceeded the 1% Ramsar criterion; the park thus qualifies as a wetland of international importance. Two-thirds of the birds were observed in four large high-tide roosts far from human disturbance, highlighting the importance of controlling such activities close to these sites.

National parks as natural areas preserved from the more disruptive forms of economic provide a multitude of benefits to humankind, and these may be classified as either on-site use benefits or off-site benefits. This paper reports an applied case which is concerned with the measurement of the value of the recreational use benefits for one such national park. Whilst the national park is under no immediate threat, having an indication of the economic value of recreational opportunities within the park can aid future planning and decision-making.

N/A
Multivariate statistical analyses of data on environmental variables and benthic fauna from 14 oil and gas fields obtained from 24 surveys collected between 1985 and 1993 are presented. At all fields oil-based drilling mud was used. The purpose of this study was to investigate contamination gradients, assess effects on benthic fauna both spatially and temporally and to evaluate measures such as diversity indices, indicator species and multivariate analysls techniques in assessment of pollution. Results from analyses of baseline surveys of environmental variables and fauna were charactensed by a lack of distinct gradients in station placement, having a typical shot-gun pattern in PCA-, DCA- and MDS-ordination analyses.

Up to five species of marine turtle are reported to have bred on the shores of Mozambique (Louro et al, 2006: Fernandez et al, 2014). In the past, however, information was scanty, often only colloquial and sometimes misleading. In recent years more attention has been paid to the situation and slowly better information and more accurate data have been obtained (Louro et al, 2012; Pereira et al, 2009; Videira et al, 2010). Efforts have been made to collate and organize the available historical data and combine this with current information (Louro et al, 2012; Pereira et al, 2009; & Videira et al 2010; Louro et al, 2012; Fernandez et al, 2014) and this is leading to a much better understanding of the status of marine turtles in Mozambique.

Report of the Thirteenth Session of the Scientific Committee
Beatrice Wind Farm Demonstrator Project
Talisman Energy (UK) Limited
2007
N/A
During June 2007, we have been preparing the second turbine for load-out from Nigg and installation on site in the Beatrice Field in July. With both turbines scheduled to be operational in autumn 2007, the Beatrice Wind Farm Demonstrator will begin to provide in-depth data. However, we have already learned a lot since the project commenced in 2003; we have pioneered the use of large turbines and jackets offshore; we have shown that large turbines can be pre-assembled onshore, transported to the site as a complete unit, and installed in a single operation; and we have set new standards in the environmental management of large scale developments in sensitive marine environments.

The 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement
UNFSA
1995
N/A
The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (the “Convention”) sets out the overarching legal regime for the conservation and management of marine living resources within areas under national jurisdiction and on the high seas. It also contains specific provisions relating to straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. In light of ongoing problems regarding the conservation and management of these stocks, Agenda 21 of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) called for the convening of an intergovernmental conference under United Nations auspices to promote effective implementation of these provisions.
