Marine environmental monitoring is an integral part of eco2 and forms the basis for all of our science and research activities. Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Mnazi Bay Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park, we are expanding our operations to include ongoing monitoring to research the impacts of climate change and other stressors, to record reef health and to monitor and map rare and endangered species. This will build on existing Marine Park activities providing comprehensive coverage, and enabling us to extend our research capability and offer more opportunities to those wishing to join our team or conduct their own research. In addition to monitoring we expect to have a number of research opportunities in 2009. These will include projects that explore the impacts of climate change on the marine environment. If you would like to be a part of our monitoring programme and receive training in fish and marine life identification and survey techniques, are interested in contributing to our research or want to pursue your own project alongside our work, please contact us by email at isobel@eco2tz.com
