Multi-stakeholder consultation for anti-dynamite fishing campaign Tanzania Mwambao coastal community network April 2014
Fishing using explosives is common in Tanzanian waters in all sections of the coast from Mtwara in the south to Moa in the north. It is currently considered to be more widely practiced in Tanzania than at any other point in history to the extent that is becoming ‘fishing as usual’.

Mwambao Coastal Community Network team carried out a multi-stakeholder consultation along the Tanzanian coast over two weeks in April 2014, visiting stakeholders from Mtwara on the southern border with Mozambique to Moa on the northern border with Kenya. Consultations were held with villagers, fisheries officers, government officers, private hoteliers, dive operators, fish processors, NGOs and other key individuals. Comments and recommendations were noted and wherever possible, testimonies were recorded on video. Findings are summarised in this report and as a one-hour video film.
