I'm a master of science student and I work about Marine Sciences. Specificaly my field work is aplied oceanology.
The fishery for the mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is a purely traditional fishing practice on which many fishing communities are completely dependent. Three main production areas for crabs have been identified as Boina region, Menabe region and Sofia region (inthe mangrove swamp of Sahamalaza (around Maromandia). Fishing productivity is estimated at about 2.5 mT/km2/year (Ralison, 1987).
Two main factors impact on the sustainability of the crab fishery:
Oil Spill Preparedness - At Sea and Shoreline Response
International Maritime Organization (IMO) Focal Point

The Bombetoka Estuary is highly vulnerable to pollution from Mahajanga city’s tourism, agricultural, industrial, and other sectors. Tests of the water by the National Centre For Environmental Research (CNRE) indicate the presence of toxic heavy metals and hydrocarbons that pose serious risks to both human and marine life. The project will demonstrate how water quality and sediments can be improved by developing a regulatory framework and monitoring system—a framework which will provide the basis for the development of national wastewater standards.
