Inland fisheries are important for nutrition, employment, and income, but climate variability and change are adding to other stressors, such as overexploitation, pollution, habitat degradation, and invasive species, to ...

tHuman and environmental factors have greatly challenged Lake Victoria ecosystem, especially in the lastfour decades. However, the lake continues to support the World’s largest freshwater fishery, currentlyproducing ca. ...

Ecosystem simulation models are valuable quantitative decision tools for supporting ecosystem-based fisheries management. However, the application of ecosystem models in fisheries management is still undermined by the ...

Fisheries resources support livelihoods of fishing communities but are threatened by over-exploitation, habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. Unlike the other threats, climate change has ...

Ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM) is the best option where other fishery management objectives have failed. This makes EBFM important for the African inland lakes and fisheries resources that are among the most ...

Long-term trend analysis at local scale for rainfall and temperature is critical for detecting climate change patterns. This study analysed historical (1980–2009), near future (2010–2039), mid- (1940–2069) and end-century ...

The hydrological cycle over most tropical catchments is mainly influenced by changes in land use and climate. This study explored the trend of precipitation and streamflow to evaluate the sensitivity of the catchment to ...

Food insecurity is a region–wide problem in Sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbated by severe drought, with devastating impacts at the household level. However, farmers' coping strategies and their determinants remain under– documented. ...

In the tropics, unmonitored land use/cover types cause significant effects on the narrowing and widening of river channels which affects the integrity of water resources. River channel planform extent was characterised ...

ABSTRACT Understanding biodiversity in homegardens embedded in landscapes dominated by commercial monoculture agriculture is critical for sustainable management of agrobiodiversity and meeting rural households’ needs ...
