The basin is endowed with a wealth of natural resources land, forest resources, minerals, fish (particularly Nile Perch), wildlife, rivers and streams, wetlands and other biological resources, which provide unique opportunities for socio-economic development. Like in other places, the natural resources found in this basin offer avenue mostly to poor people to undertake economic activities for poverty reduction and sustainability of livelihoods (Chambers, 1992; Rennie and Sigh, 1996; Carney, 1998).

In Mnazi Bay, managers are combining enforcement of new regulations on fishing locations and technology with investments in community-based projects and resource management councils and widespread education efforts. In the terrestrial setting, integrated development-conservation projects (ICDPs) typically failed due to a lack of linkage between the development projects and conservation incentives and goals, leaving the development projects as compensation for losses associated with enforcement of access restrictions. MPA implementation seeks to avoid such failures and induce cooperation by focusing on projects that rely on healthy oceans and mangrove forests in addition to providing new technologies like larger mesh nets.

With the experience of the pilot study conducted successfully last September by Andrea Mannberg –a Ph.D candidate who is also working in the project. Adolf Mkenda and John Mduma coordinate the project and other logistics for the final field work to be carried out in March-April 2008. They are in charge of organizing the term of interviewers from the Lake Victoria regions and also organizing the interviewee.
