You are warmly welcome to Dar es Salaam Center to share ideas with the entire research team and supporting staffs. The Center supports Marine research that first clarifies, and then finds ways to mitigate the impacts of fisheries on aquatic ecosystems. With such insight on how the aquatic ecosystems functions, can formulate management policies aiming to reconcile the exploitation of living resources for food, conservation of biodiversity, maintenance of ecosystem services, amenity and other multiple uses of aquatic ecosystems. Again, welcome to TAFIRI Dar es Salaam Center, where like the waters of the sea, fish themselves are the common property of all the people of the earth.
