Tanzania Sustainable Seafood Guide

Developed by Chumbe Island Coral Park under the USAID/Tanzania Heshimu Bahari (“Respect the Ocean”) project, this set of materials was developed to promote sustainable seafood choices within Tanzania’s tourism sector, where rising demand is placing increased pressure on marine ecosystems. The 2024 Tanzania Sustainable Seafood Guide supports hotels, restaurants, and tour operators in making informed decisions that reduce reliance on over-exploited and vulnerable species. Extensive research and consultations were conducted amongst fishers, market traders, buyers and tourism operators to guide and inform the selection of species presented in the Guide and their ranging local and regional names for identification. The package includes: A comprehensive guide A quick-reference pocketbook Awareness posters
