Booklets and Brochures Development of Ocean Governance Strategy for Africa: Summary of Scoping Study and Gap Analysis University of Dar es salaam, Institute of Marine Sciences
The role of Africa’s oceans and seas in supporting socio-economic growth and development across different sectors is so significant that cannot be overemphasized.

Besides, increasing insecurity in the Africa’s marine waters, enhanced illegal trafficking, and degradation of the marine environment and climate change phenomenon further exacerbate the existing environmental stresses that have significant implications on the governance of the oceans, not only at the level of individual nations, but more challenging at the regional and continental levels.
