Private protection of the marine environment, Tanzania: a case study
Article Abstract:
Local groups in Tanzania are increasingly interested in protecting their ocean environments. Private ownership can take the form of large landowners who conserve biodiversity for their own benefit, commercial enterprises that must include some degree of conservation to ensure profitability, and ecologically sensitive companies. While private protection cannot be the only means to conserve marine ecosystems, it may sometimes be a useful option.

Economic liberalization and its effect on the exploitation of crustaceans in Tanzania
Article Abstract:
The growth of lobster fishing in Tanzania from 1988 and 1996 shows the industry has reached its upper limit and is overexploited. Declining lobster size, percentages of lobsters caught compared to other species, declining supply and increasing prices all support this conclusion. The best approach is to monitor hotels and restaurants to ensure offering lobster only during seasons that are not crucial to its regeneration.
