About IUCN
IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and around 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples’ organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people’s well-being.

About the Project
Bahari Mali is a three-year (2022 – 2025) Blue Economy project implemented by IUCN with funding from the Embassy of Ireland in Tanzania. The Bahari Mali project comes as an extension of an initial 12-month pilot phase, with the mission to unlock sustainable development and improved livelihoods for local communities in the Tanga-Pemba seascape. The project builds on IUCN ESARO’s Blue Resilience Framework, and the Great Blue Wall (GBW) initiative which consists of three key pillars: Blue Planet, Blue People, and Blue Partnerships. Operating in four programmatic districts, Pangani and Mkinga in Tanga, and Mkoani and Micheweni in Pemba, the project promotes a regenerative seascape approach by supporting sustainable conservation and utilization of coastal ecosystems and marine resources. The overarching goal of the project is to unlock the development of a blue economy that contributes to long-term, effective, equitable, and inclusive conservation of coastal and marine biodiversity — that services and improves the lives of surrounding communities, in line with contributing towards Tanzania’s development and conservation agendas.
The Tanga-Pemba Seascape, rich in biodiversity and crucial for local communities, is increasingly impacted by ocean acidification (OA), which threatens its marine ecosystems and blue food systems. These aquatic resources are essential for food security, local livelihoods, and cultural heritage in the region. Addressing OA impacts and integrating blue foods into climate strategies is vital for building resilience, supporting sustainable marine management, and aligning with global climate adaptation goals.
The Bahari Mali project seeks to procure laboratory equipment for the Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI) to conduct experimental studies on how OA affects key aquatic species used by local communities in the Tanga-Pemba channel. The focus will be on species critical for local diets and livelihoods, assessing their adaptive capacity and resilience. The initiative will enable long-term monitoring, experimental research, and capacity building in OA science within Tanzania and across the WIO region. Data generated through this research initiative will contribute directly to adaptive management practices and policy support, benefiting communities reliant on these critical resources.
