The increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the consequent pressures related to climate
change are having significant impacts on the coastal and marine resources on which much of
Tanzania’s coastal population depends for its livelihood. A decline in mangrove cover, coral bleaching
and mortality and the destruction of seagrass beds are some of these impacts. Coastal erosion also
poses threats to the country’s coastal tourism infrastructure. This study examines various approaches
that integrate protection and conservation of coastal and marine resources. It briefly highlights the
global and regional issues while emphasis is put on Tanzanian perspective. Guidelines and reports for
management interventions and adaptive technologies are discussed. Environmental protection remains
the most preferred approach with variety of options. An overview is given on soft and hard adaptation
technologies. Furthermore, Tanzania’s relevant policies and legislation that address climate change
impacts to coastal and marine resources are reviewed. |
