The book comprises four main parts plus sections within that include special contributions as case studies, for a total of nineteen chapters and thirty case studies. The book further analyses research gaps providing recommendations that intend to contribute for scientific progress and management. It is the result of the contribution of 68 regional and international experts, and is thoroughly illustrated with maps, graphical figures and colour photographic plates.

Mangroves of the Western Indian Ocean

Mangroves of the Western Indian Ocean

Total price: $20

The WIO mangroves cover about 1 million ha, which is just about 5% of the global mangrove coverage. Almost 90% of these mangroves are found in four countries, namely Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania and Kenya; with the most expansive mangrove forests in these countries occurring in deltas and estuaries. This book is an outlook of the mangrove forests in each of the WIO countries.

The book analyses distribution of the mangroves, their conditions, utilization patterns, threats and current management intervention to safeguard this critical ecosystem.

Although the book is written with a WIO regional focus, the rich information presented herein will also be useful to mangrove enthusiasts outside the region.

Sharks and Rays

Sharks and Rays

Total price: $30

Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are among the most fascinating but also the most unknown and misunderstood animals of our oceans. With nearly 200 species recorded, the East African region is a major hotspot for sharks and rays in the world. However, very little is known about their status, distribution, and taxonomy, whereas a large number of species face major threats including fisheries and habitat degradation.

The aim of this book is to help and encourage scientists, fishermen, divers, and other interested to identify, document and promote the presence of the 70 most common species of elasmobranchs in East Africa.
