Success stories from Lake Tanganyika on sedimentation control and poverty alleviation
- The Zambian component of the UNDP/GEF –supported Lake Tanganyika Integrated Management Programme (LTIMP) focuses on sedimentation control, which is within the framework of priorities of the sub-regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP). In the SAP, the control of sediment inflows from the steep mountainous terrain bordering Lake Tanganyika in both Mpulungu and Kaputa Districts is seen as one of the most important areas for support. Over-fishing has also been identified as a key issue, and this is being addressed through co-finance and technical cooperation from the African Development Bank, FAO and other partners of the Lake Tanganyika Integrated Management Programme.

Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem—Governance and Management for an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries in the Region
- This article examines the current status of management in the Benguela Current Large Marine ecosystem and the three coastal states in which it occurs: Angola, Namibia, and South Africa. The three countries have all focused on conventional approaches to fisheries management, concentrating on target species, and management has been largely centrally controlled. They have nevertheless made some progress toward addressing wider ecosystem issues. Scientific capacity has been generally good and scientific advice plays an important role in management decisions although the management capability varies between the countries. All have sufficient capability for ensuring sustainable fisheries but there are skills shortages in some areas. Based largely on a recent project to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries in the region, the article evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the current management approaches and identifies areas of concern. Limitations and threats to capacity, particularly in production of scientific advice and in management functions, are considered a major problem.
