how do our government save our coral reefs?

Answer 1

For the 150,000 people living on the Tanga coast in northeast Tanzania, fish is the main source of income and protein. Many of the most important fish species in this area depend on the rich Tanga coral reef ecosystem for food and shelter. Unfortunately, much of the originally healthy coral reef along this 180-km stretch of coastline has been destroyed by reef-destructive fishing practices, particularly blast or dynamite fishing. The destruction of coral reef habitat in turn threatens the harvest from the sea and the future well being of Tanga coastal communities.

Although national regulations outlawing destructive fishing practices exist, they have not been enforced due to the currently limited surveillance and enforcement capacity of the government. This led the Tanzanian government to launch an innovative community-based coastal management programme which emphasizes collaboration between local communities and local and national authorities.

With the support of local officials, three pilot villages created committees to deal with destructive fishing, the increasing demand for fish, and the increasing numbers of fishers in the area. After two community-wide workshops, the committees have developed action plans that control types of fishing and close off parts of reefs to harvesting. Village elders inspect fishing gear and the fish for sale in local markets. There are also patrols against fishermen using dynamite. Efforts in the three pilot villages have proved so effective that fish landings have increased, and more villages have come forward wanting to enter the programme.

Answer 2

for me, all government officials save our coral reefs by of course, preventing fishermen to get those corals from the sea and also, prevening or avoiding dynamite fishing because it may destroy the corals in the sea or ocean. In my own opinion, they must also stop throwing anchors on seas because it can also destroy the reefs but i know also that its needed to make the ships stop. For that to be solved, they could just tie the ship intead of throwing anchors in the ocean or sea! As simple as that!

Hope it helped you!

A 5 gallon reef tank is particularly confusing to maintain because of the fact any small version interior the water circumstances can rapidly have considerable effects. the better the tank the greater effectual- something under 30 gallons is seen a complicated setup.
