Community perceptions of climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation in the mangrove ecosystem of the Rufiji Delta, Tanzania
Mangroves are increasingly recognized for their role in supporting adaptation to climate change and variability. However, knowledge about how climate change and variability affect mangrove ecosystem services (MES) and their role in supporting coastal communities to adaption is limited in Tanzania. We used participatory rural appraisal methods and field observations to explore local communities' perceptions of climate change and variability, and e…
Incentives and disincentives of mangrove conservation on local livelihoods in the Rufiji Delta, Tanzania
Considering local communities’ perceptions on the role of conservation measures on their socio-economic wellbeing is important for assessing effectiveness and success of conservation measures. In this study, four themes - social impacts of conservation, legitimacy of conservation governance, acceptability of conservation management and ecological outcomes of conservation were studied in the Rufiji Delta, Tanzania. The themes constituted detailed …
Socioeconomic determinants of mangrove exploitation and management in the Pangani River Estuary, Tanzania
Nyangoko, B. P., M. S. Shalli, M. M. Mangora, M. Gullström, and H. Berg. 2022. Socioeconomic determinants of mangrove exploitation and management in the Pangani River Estuary, Tanzania. Ecology and Society 27(2):32. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-13227-270232
The Silos of Natural Resource Governance
Taking a coordinated, holistic approach to the governance of coastal ecosystems is widely advocated in recognition of the need to manage ecosystems as a whole. Despite commitment to approaches such as integrated coastal zone management and ecosystem-based management of fisheries, governance remains fragmented, with sectors such as environment, fisheries and forestry maintaining separate systems of governance from the national to village level. Th…
Mangrove cover and cover change analysis in the transboundary area of Kenya and Tanzania during 1986–2016
Mangrove forests are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Some of these forests traverse national boundaries complicating their management due to differences in governance structures between countries. To improve the management of transboundary species regular monitoring is essential. Remotely sensed data were used to estimate forest cover and analyze conditions of mangroves in the proposed transboundary conservation area (TBCA) between…
Measuring mangrove carbon loss and gain in deltas
Demand for mangrove forest resources has led to a steady decline in mangrove area over the past century. Land conversions in the form of agriculture, aquaculture and urbanization account for much of the deforestation of mangrove wetlands. However, natural processes at the transition zone between land and ocean can also rapidly change mangrove spread. In this study, we applied a robust field-based carbon inventory and new structural and temporal r…
