Abstract
The Regional State of Coast
Report for the western
Indian Ocean (WIO) is the
first comprehensive regional
synthesis to provide insights
into the enormous economic
potential around the WIO, the consequential demand
for marine ecosystem goods and services to match the
increasing human population, the pace and scale of
environmental changes taking place in the region and the
opportunities to avoid serious degradation in one of the
world’s unique and highly biodiverse oceans. The report
goes a step further and presents exploratory scenarios
and policy analysis to better inform anticipatory planning
and management of coastal and marine resources. Thirty
years after the Nairobi Convention was enacted, there is
no better way to mark this major milestone than launching
this report in 2015 - a report which amongst others, will
provide the Convention with the basis for reflection on
where it is coming from and where it would wish to be in
another thirty years from now. This report highlights the
enormous economic potential and development needs of
countries around the WIO and, at the same time, points
out the growing natural and anthropogenic pressure
imposed on the region coastal and marine environment,
and the opportunities to avoid them.
