addresses collaborative fisheries management as part of Population,
Health and Environment (PHE) issues for communities living in 23 coastal
villages along Lake Tanganyika in Uvinza - Kigoma and Tanganyika
- Katavi Regions. One of the project goals is to achieve sustainable
fisheries through, among other things, formation and capacity building
of Beach Management Units (BMUs) as provided by Tanzania Fisheries Act
(2003) and regulations (2009).
TNC through its Tuungane
project, is working closely with the Fisheries Development Division
in Tanzania Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries to establish and build
capacity of the BMUs/CFMIs of which the Ministry previously supported
their establishment and later their registration. A key outcome desired

livelihoods activities to improve community lives.
