The fish community composition & health of corals are impacted directly by activities led on the reef. It could lead to a decrease in the lagoon’s biodiversity. Some species will disappear faster than over.
Therefore, it is crucial to have an overview of those transformations.
Through this project, we are conducting monthly monitoring of different stations in the lagoon of Matemwe. We hope to comprehend how the reef is evolving and how it will stand in the future.
Every day, we monitor as well the reef users in front of our reef monitoring stations. Our goal is to understand if certain activities have a significant impact on the health of the reef.
We share our data with the local communities, to help them take proper actions to restore and protect the reefs of the northeast of Zanzibar.
