SWIOFP-Project Summary
- The Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) is considered a distinct biogeographical province of the Indo-West Pacific, with high levels of regional endemism. Although waters of the region are considered oligotrophic, with relatively low fish biomass, there is significant diversity among fish species. The region has a high diversity of “charismatic” species, including at least 20 species of cetaceans, five species of marine turtles, numerous seabirds, and an important remnant population of the threatened dugong.

SWIOFP-Project brief
- The SWIOFP is one of three closely linked projects. SWIOFP is the beneficiary of environmental data produced by the Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystem Project (ASCLMEs) implemented by the UNDP, and the WIO-LaB Project which is implemented through UNEP in Nairobi. SWIOFP uses the outputs of these other related projects to produce a “Program level” outcome- an ecologically based series of regional or sub-regional fisheries management plans.
