Closed

The Coastal and Marine Bio-diversity Management Project in Mozambique, will test, and refine an approach to sustainable economic development of coastal zone resources, through a strategic development planning process, to balance ecological, social, and physical values in the coastal zone. This pilot project is part of a long-term national coastal zone program, designed to subsequently adopt, and broadly replicate through the entire coastal zone. The project components will fully integrate conservation with regional development, and, establish, and strengthen protection of key terrestrial, and marine conservation areas, initiating conservation-oriented community activities in those areas, through a spatial development plan. Best practices will be established for a bio-diversity friendly economic development, while, capacity building, and public awareness will raise key government, and non-government stakeholders responsibility for bio-diversity protection. Institutional arrangements will be developed, and implemented to devolve coastal, and marine resource planning to the provincial, and local levels.
