Conscious of the negative ecological impact of the hurricane on the coastal region and the inland rainforest,

PASADENA In 2011, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan s coastal region.

Within the broader framework of integrated coastal area management, the project addresses, in addition to fisheries management issues, the interrelationship between fisheries and other sectors of the coastal area.

On that issue, the Executive Secretary also stressed that the United Nations Sudano Sahelian Office also ensured the participation of representatives from 22 countries of the Sudano Sahelian region.

In the coastal region, seafood is very popular, with fish, shrimp, and ceviche being key parts of the diet.

In some areas, sea caves may have dry upper levels, lifted above the active littoral zone by regional uplift.

Today, challenges in the coastal zone are especially severe, but impacts from human activities are expanding throughout the oceans.

In some cases, the organization or arrangement includes only the coastal States in the region and not the distant water fishing States.

In that regard, it had been decided during 1993 to develop a programme on strengthening drought preparedness and mitigation for the Sudano Sahelian countries.

Assisted by Omani Arabs, the indigenous coastal dwellers succeeded in driving the Portuguese from the area north of the Ruvuma River by the early 18th century.
