We aim to reach capacity for blue carbon trading from our mangrove restoration efforts in the region.鈥 Remarked the Regional Commissioner.

About Tanga-Pemba Multi-Stakeholders Forum

In August 2022, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 in collaboration with the governments of Mainland Tanzania through Marine Parks and Reserves Unit (MPRU) and Zanzibar through Department of Marine Conservation (DMC), co-organized a meeting of stakeholders of the Tanga-Pemba Seascape in Tanga. One of the objectives of the meeting was to share findings and recommendations of a report supported by 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 to assess governance profile of marine and coastal resources management in the Tanga-Pemba seascape.

One of the findings of the assessment indicates the presence of various stakeholders involved in conservation efforts in the seascape area, at different scales and approaches. However, these stakeholders were not coordinated to ensure that their work contributes to governance and conservation enhancement. The report recommended seeking ways to coordinate stakeholders so that their collective efforts can improve governance and achieve collective conservation goals. As a response to coordination challenge, meeting participants proposed the establishment of the Tanga-Pemba Seascape Multistakeholder Forum(T-PMSF).
