The baseline will enable Mozambique to monitor later changes in the resources and in the environment. This is especially important today as we are in a crucial period of global warming with likely heavy impact on the coastal areas over time. With the full backup from the FAO and other UN agencies such as UNEP and the IOC the new EAF-Nansen project is to assist coastal states in the SW Indian Ocean to accomplish this important task.

Historical Perspectives and Recent Trends in the Coastal Mozambican Fishery
Historical data describing changing social-ecological interactions in marine systems can help guide small-scale fisheries management efforts. Fisheries landings data are often the primary source for historical reconstructions of fisheries; however, we argue that reliance on data of a single type and/or from a single scale can lead to potentially misleading conclusions. For example, a narrow focus on aggregate landings statistics can mask processes and trends occurring at local scales, as well as the complex social changes that result from and precipitate marine ecosystem change. Moreover, in the case of many smallscale fisheries, landings statistics are often incomplete and/or inaccurate.

Giant trevally spawning aggregation highlights importance of community fisheries management no-take zone
Marques da Silva, I. Hempson, T. & Hussey, N.

Mar Biodiv
Location and timing of spawning aggregations for large teleost predators either remain elusive or constitute core-fishing sites in developing countries, limiting or confounding management actions for sustainable harvesting. In the Quirimbas Archipelago in northern Mozambique, limited artisanal fisheries catch data are available, and only emerging management plans are in place in scattered isolated locations. Artisanal fisheries, however, are the dominant fisheries sector in the region, employing a large proportion of the local population and contributing the main food source for consumption.

Diving Tourism in Mozambique: An Opportunity at Risk?
Tibiriçá, Y. Et al.

Tourism in Marine Environments
Diving tourism has grown exponentially all around the world. In Mozambique, much terrestrial wildlife was devastated during the war, which left national parks with little to attract tourists. On the other hand, the Mozambican Indian Ocean is relatively unexplored and has a rich biodiversity, including a high abundance of ‘big animals’ such as whale sharks and manta rays that offer great opportunities for the diving industry. This paper examines divers’ perspectives and demographics in Tofo Beach, Inhambane. The paper discusses the urgent need for strategic planning and good management to maintain the attractiveness of the area and avoid loss of biodiversity.

Continental Shelf Research
The objective of this study is to document and shed light on the circulation around the Delagoa Bight region in the southern Mozambique Channel using a realistic modelling approach. A simulation including mesoscale forcings at the boundaries of our regional configuration succeeds in reproducing the general circulation in the region as well as the existence of a semi-permanent cyclonic eddy, whose existence is attested by in situ measurements in the Bight. Characterised by a persistent local minimum in SSH located around 26°S–34°E, this cyclonic eddy termed herein the Delagoa Bight lee eddy occurs about 25% of the time with no clear seasonal preference.

Coral Reef Monitoring and Management in Mozambique
MICOA, in conjunction with a number of other institutions and donors, have recently initiated a project for the development of a National Coastal Zone Management Programme (NCZMP). This program encompasses the entire coastal zone and is multi-disciplinary in its approach. Further, it is envisaged that one of the components of this NCZMP will focus on the critical ecosystems that comprise the coastal environment such as coral reefs. Consequently, a management plan for coral reefs is being formulated concurrently with the National Coastal Zone Management Plan (NCZMP).

The school that I attended in my formative years had the motto: “Non Sibi Sed Omnibus”; which translates as “not for oneself but for all”. It is something that did not seem to resonate too loudly in my youth, but having come across the motto again recently it perhaps became more ingrained than I had realised. It is a statement that is very much aligned with our company’s business philosophy. I use the terms ‘company’ and ‘business’ intentionally as that is the best description of what we are, unlike most other contributors and readers of this newsletter who will sit more firmly within conservation, academia or government. 5OES is primarily an environmental consultancy firm with offices in the UK and Middle East.

Mozambican ocean–atmosphere research programme
Understanding the dynamics of the coastal oceans is important for managing coastal ecosystems, and hence for protecting lives and planning sustainable development. Among other countries in the southwest Indian Ocean, Mozambique has a greater number of environmental problems to solve. These problems include the landing of tropical cyclones along the coast and associated heavy rain and flooding events which cause loss of life, infrastructural damage, coastal erosion, incident droughts, water pollution, overexploitation of marine and coastal resources, and weather and climate change and extremes. Many of these problems can be monitored, so that remedial action can be taken, by conducting sustainable institutional collective research.

Tides, tidal currents and their effects on the intertidal ecosystem of the southern bay, Inhaca Island, Mozambique
de Boer, W.; Rydbelg, L. & Saide, V.
2000
Maputo
Hydrobiologia
Sediment characteristics and tidal currents were studied in the 1500 ha intertidal area south of Inhaca Island, Mozambique. The tide is semi-diurnal with a range at spring of about 3 m. The area connects directly to the ocean through the Ponta Torres Strait and (indirectly) through several narrow tidal channels ending up in Maputo Bay. Velocities of up to 0.75 m s?1 were measured in the Ponta Torres strait. After LowWater, Indian ocean water starts entering the tidal flats, while entrance from the Maputo Bay side is delayed by one to several hours.

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science
Measurements of hydrographic conditions in the Ponta Rasa tidal mangrove swamp, Inhaca Island, Mozambique were made in August–October 1994 during the winter dry season. The Ponta Rasa swamp/creek is tidally choked on account of the narrow channel that connects it to Maputo Bay and at neap tides, a sill prevents bay water entering the creek system altogether. Temperature variation in the swamp (15–25 )C) was predominantly diurnal with an additional signal due to the tidal advection of bay waters. There is no river discharge into Ponta Rasa and during the observation period, there was no significant rainfall.

The trade in manta ray gill plates has considerably increased over the last two decades. The resulting increases in ray mortality, in addition to mortality caused by by-catch, has caused many ray populations to decrease in size. The aim of this study was to ascertain how yearling and juvenile growth and survival, and adult survival and reproduction affect reef manta ray (Manta alfredi) population change, to increase our understanding of manta ray demography and thereby improve conservation research and measures for these fish.

Quaternary International
The configuration of coastal groundwater systems in southeast Africa was strongly controlled by the Holocene sea-level changes, with an Early Holocene transgression w15 m (10,000e5000 cal BP), and two assumed high-stand events in the Middle and Late Holocene with levels higher than the present. The fluctuation of the saltefresh groundwater interface under Inhaca Island in Mozambique during the Holocene has been studied using an adapted version of the numerical code SUTRA (Saturated-Unsaturated Transport). In this study, small-scale variations such as tidal effects have not been considered.

Comparing recent and abandoned shell middens to detect the impact of human exploitation on the intertidal ecosystem
Boer, W.; pereira, T & Guissamulo, A.
2000
Maputo
Aquatic Ecology
Abandoned and recent shell middens were compared from Inhaca island, Mozambique, to investigate the impact of human exploitation. The growing human population was expected to increase the exploitation pressure, decrease the mean shell size, and increase the species diversity.Moreover, exploitation-vulnerable species were expected to disappear from recent middens. 29252 shells were collected from 6 recent and 8 abandoned middens, comprising 78 species, the majority bivalves. Pinctada nigra was the most abundant. The mean shell size was significantly smaller in recent middens, and the conspicuous, surface-dwelling gastropod Terebralia palustris showed the largest size reduction. Size reduction was related with the life history of the species.

Journal of Conchology
A new species of cryptobranch dorid nudibranch is described from the Western Indian Ocean. Doris ananas sp. nov. has previously been recorded from South Africa to Tanzania. The studied specimens were from the sub-tropical waters of southern Mozambique, from 10 to 40m deep and are frequently associated with yellow sponges. The new species is characterized by having several conical simple small tubercles surrounding each large tubercle. The integument is yellow and the top of the tubercles are pigmented in brown or black. This species distinguishes from other described taxa on both external and internal characteristics explored herein, mainly in the reproductive system, with the presence of two bags with internal spines annexed to the vagina.

Population structure and distribution of Terebralia palustris were compared with the environmental parameters within microhabitats in a monospecific stand of Avicennia marina in southern Mozambique. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of T. palustris and potential food sources (leaves, pneumatophore epiphytes, and surface sediments) were examined to establish the feeding preferences of T. palustris. Stable isotope signatures of individuals of different size classes and from different microhabitats were compared with local food sources.

Freshwater discharges from river runoff into the ocean have an important influence on the dynamics of many coastal regions. The plumes resulting from the encounter between fresh and saline waters have a variety of impacts, including changes in the availability of biological resources. Although there have been several general studies on the plume dynamics (and their relation to the rainfall), no quantitative analysis of the relationship between river plumes and its main controlling factor (i.e. the river discharge) has yet been reported.

The eighth annual report on monitoring, tagging and conservation of marine turtles in Mozambique presents the monitoring results of the 2014/15 nesting season, ongoing and published studies, as well as priorities for future research and a list of relevant events. This new format reflects the growth and body of work being carried out on marine turtles in Mozambique. During the 2014/15 season, the monitoring effort covered 112 km of coastline (~4% of the country’s coastline), due to a substantial decrease in marine turtle monitoring sites when compared to previous seasons (Fernandes et al., 2014). This is a direct result of funding constraints.

Análise da diversidade e estrutura genética de Fenneropenaeus indicus e Metapenaeus monoceros com base no mtDNA e uso do DNA barcoding na identificação das espécies de Peneídeos (Crustacea, Decapoda, Penaeidae) da costa de Moçambique
Os camarões peneídeos (Crustacea, Decapoda, Penaeidae) constituem um recurso pesqueiro de grande importância econômica mundial tanto para a indústria pesqueira quanto para a aquicultura. Em Moçambique, a indústria pesqueira constitui uma das bases da sua economia, onde a pesca do camarão chega a render cerca de 80 milhões de dólares anuais. Nos últimos anos, tem-se verificado uma redução na pesca do camarão, provavelmente devido à sobrexplotação e à presença de espécies exóticas.

The Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve (POPMR), located in southern Mozambique, is part of the Lebombo Transfrontier Conservation Area (Fig.1) and is an important nesting area, from October to March, for loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles (Louro et al. 2006; Costa et al. 2007; Videira et al. 2008). A monitoring and tagging program using titanium flipper tags was initiated in 1994. Initially restricted to a 30-km stretch of beach (from Ponta Malongane to Ponta Dobela), the programme was spearheaded by Mr. Pierre Lombard and his family (Fig. 2) with support from Dr. George Hughes, who then supervised the South African turtle monitoring programme.

The first broad narrative of coral reefs in Maputo Bay is provided by Boshoff (1958) in an account of the natural history of Inhaca Island (Macnae and Kalk, 1958). Limited coral reefs were found on the west side of the island, these being located primarily north of the Biological Research Station and within a channel draining the Saco near Ponta Torres (Figure 1). The former, known as Barreira Vermelha, was the largest and appeared to be associated with coral rubble and rock outcrops. It was estimated to be about 2 km long and a maximum of 65 m wide but was shrinking due to sedimentation at the time of publication (1958).
