Coastal fish stocks declining in Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
Rebuilding fish stocks critical to increasing food production and conserving coral reefs.
Endangered leatherback sea turtles are known for their open-ocean migratory nature and nomadic foraging habits - traveling thousands of miles. But a CORNELL naturalist and his colleagues have discovered an area along the Mozambique coast that the turtles have made their permanent home, according to a study published in Nature's Scientific Reports, Nov. 25.
A piece of aircraft wreckage found off Mozambique, believed to be from flight MH370, has added strength to the belief the plane was not under the control of a pilot when it crashed.
A few weeks after IDAI which wreaked havoc on central Mozambique (and eastern Zimbabwe), the country is dealing with another unprecedented event. Tropical Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in northern Mozambique on 25 April, near the border with Tanzania, in an area where no tropical cyclone has been observed since the satellite era. There is no record of two storms of such intensity striking Mozambique in the same season. It has now weakened into a depression.
