Makatumbe Island
This service project focuses on the coastal conservation of the Makatube Island in Dar es Salaam. Working in collaboration with the Tanzanian Marine Reserves it aims to create a recognised PPP (Public Private Partnership) Education Centre on Makatube Island in order to make it more accessible for research, and ultimately to increase the protection of the surrounding reefs to create a more secure and environmentally sustainable environment. This service activity invites GISS delegates to participate in activities that include learning about strategies for island protection from local experts, interacting with a member of the marine parks, and a chance to tour the island and go snorkelling to identify different species that inhabit the island and its surroundings.
