INTRODUCTION: The marine fisheries sector in Tanzania is largely small scale, male dominated with majority using traditional fishing crafts. The fisheries play an important role in rural and coastal communities and it provides a vital source of food, contributes to livelihoods sustainability and nutrition security and foreign exchange earnings.  However, the fisheries have been facing continuous challenge with continued illegal fishing practices and increasing costs for ensuring compliance. This prompted the need to involve the local community and resource users in management strategies through creation of Beach Management Units (BMUs).

WWF Tanzania (Seascape Programme) under the support of MACP4 Project (Margaret A. Cargill Philathropies) is aware of the challenge and aims to support Beach Management Units with tool-kits for carrying out extension work, capacitate and train new entrant fishers, migrant fishers as well fish traders. The tools will focus on recommended gear types, fishing vessels, fish processing type and methods in order to transform local practices and attain sustainable fisheries.  It is important to note that, very little is known about legal and illegal fishing gears and why some gears are categorized as illegal particularly by youth, new entrants and migrant fishers. In addition, the illustrated manuals will play an important role to researchers, students, trainers and development partners while working in the coastal community.  The tools will serve purpose for both people who can read and those who cannot read.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT: The main objective for this assignment is to prepare illustrative fisheries manuals for Tanzanian coastal communities in marine sector on the following: (i) common and priority marine fish species (ii) fishing vessels (iii) fishing gears (iv) fish processing types and methods

EXPECTED DELIVERABLES: The following outputs are expected to be delivered: (i) Well-illustrated manual for fishing vessels in marine waters (ii) Manual for fishing gear (iii) Manual for common fish species (vi) Manual for fish processing types and methods (v) Report on consultative meeting with representative of fishers, fish processors, fisheries managers/fishing gear technology experts and researchers (vi) At least 30 good pictures with high resolutions from each manual taken during the field visits.
