Abstract

This paper presents findings on the links between coastal/marine resources endowment and climate change resilience to coastal communities in Mchungu and Kivinja’ A’ village on the coastal zone of Rufiji District in Tanzania. The study focused on exploring the existing coastal resources and their support to communities’ livelihood, climatic threats that are experienced, and the role of coastal resources in enhancing communities’ resilience. It further sought to establish other enabling factors for climate change adaptation (e.g., gender, education, governance, by-laws, and membership in social networks). The study used focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and household surveys in data collection. Findings show that Mchungu village is endowed with fish, mangrove, natural canal, and floodplains as their major coastal resources, while Kivinja’ A’ is rich in salt and coconut production. Communities in both villages exploit these coastal resources for their livelihood activities such as fishing, agriculture, and business. The study further found that coastal communities are already experiencing the effects of climate change through temperature rise, flooding, drought, sea-level rise, and storm surges. These affect household food security in terms of fish catch and crop production. The study revealed that coastal and marine resources were important for increasing community resilience (P ≤ 0.05) to climate change impacts in the studied villages. However, household resilience to climate change impacts was also influenced by gender, by-laws, education, and membership in social networks.

Fußnoten
1
For instance, it is observed that the total inorganic carbon content of the oceans has increased due to a decrease in the depth at which calcium carbonate dissolves; the fraction of emitted carbon dioxide that was taken up by the oceans has decreased; and oxygen concentrations have decreased due to reduced rates of water renewal in the thermocline in most ocean basins from the early 1970s to the late 1990s (Bindoff et al. 2007).

There are about 8000 species of invertebrates, 1000 species of fish, 5 species of marine turtles and many seabirds (Francis and Brycesson, 2001).

Such as fishing through the use of poison, dynamite, beach seine, sticks, spears and dragged fishing nets (Francis and Brycesson, 2001).
 
4
Fisheries is conceptualized as fishing and fishing business, all considered together
