AAAS International Africa Marine Sciences and Oceanography in Mozambique Introduction: Coastal Resources Utilization and Development Mozambique’s fisheries resources are mostly located in two major shelves: the Sofala Bank in the center and the Delagoa Bight in the south, as well as in the bays. The major resources include: shallow water shrimp (in Sofala Bank), deep water crustacean (on the slope), scad and mackerel (Sofala Bank and Delagoa Bight), and demersal fish in the southern and northern regions. In the coast region there are large artisanal fisheries, which include the mollusks and form the basis of subsistence for several local populations. The fisheries sector employs 50,000 to 60,000 people, and its contribution to the economy is substantial; it represents about 40 percent of total export earnings. The estimated potential of fish in Mozambique is about 310,000 tons. Recorded amount of marine fish at the landings was about 32,000 tons in 1980, about 80,000 tons in 1980, and about 120,000 tons in 1992. The artisanal and semi-industrial fisheries account for more than 50 percent of the total fish production. The most valuable fishery resource is the shallow water shrimp and its bycatch, deepwater shrimp, scad, and mackerel ( Table 1 ). These resources represented about 54 percent of the total export in 1993. The shallow water shrimp alone contributed about US$20 million in 1979-80.

AAAS International Africa Foreword In late 1999 the AAAS Africa Program invited a small group of Mozambican scientists to the United States to participate in several key meetings that enabled them to share information of interest to U.S. scientists and to explore possibilities for collaboration. The meetings took place in New York, Miami, and Washington D.C. in February 2000, coinciding with both the AAAS Annual Meeting and the National Summit on Africa . The project was made possible by support from the National Science Foundation. By fortuitous coincidence the 2000 AAAS Annual Meeting (17-22 February) significantly overlapped with the National Summit on Africa (16-20 February). Thus we were able to cooperate with the Summit organizers, and indeed a highlight of the Mozambique project was Minister Brito's address to the National Summit on Africa during the opening plenary on Thursday, 17 February. Following President Bill Clinton's address at the opening ceremony, Dr. Brito's panel also included U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Ibrahim Gambari (Under Secretary-General of the United Nations and Special Adviser on Africa), J. Brady Anderson (Director of the U.S. Agency for International Development), K.Y. Amoako (Under Secretary General and Executive Secretary, UN Economic Commission for Africa), and Gayle Smith (Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs, National Security Council). By special arrangement with the National Summit organizers, participation in the full Summit was enabled for all the members of the Mozambican delegation.

Marine Policy Program The Center is closely affiliated with The Marine Policy Program, sharing common faculty, staff, and space. Center research assistants and editorial assistants are typically graduate students pursuing Master's or Ph.D. degrees in Marine Policy. The Marine Policy Program offers two degrees: the Master of Marine Policy and the Doctor of Philosophy in Marine (Policy) Studies. The Master of Marine Policy is an intensive, two-year, professional degree, featuring courses and seminars in international and environmental law, natural resource and environmental economics, integrated coastal management, U.S. national ocean policy, marine transportation, and comparative marine policy. All students in the Marine Policy Program also receive introductory training in oceanography or applied ocean science. For the Master of Marine Policy, a strong background in liberal arts is recommended, but law, engineering, and natural science students with above-average grades will be considered. Additional academic study or some work experience after the baccalaureate degree is desirable. A total of 33 credits of graduate courses and 6 credits of thesis preparation is required in the Master of Marine Policy curriculum before the final thesis examination. The Ph.D. in Marine (Policy) Studies is designed for exceptional students. The basic program consists of 30 to 35 graduate credits (including 9 credits for dissertation) depending on the student's background at the master's level. Twelve of the 21 required course credits must be in a disciplinary concentration such as economics, political science, anthropology, or other related fields. Students in the Ph.D. program must pass qualifying exams covering four fields' three from marine policy and one from the allied discipline of the student's choice.

The toxicity of Cu to micro-organisms is proportional to the free Cu concentration, [Cu ], rather than to the total copper concentration. Kristen Buck has developed and applied a method based upon the added ligand salicylaldoxime (SA) to set up a competing equilibrium with natural Cu-binding ligands (L1) and the use of adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry to detect the Cu(SA) . With this approach she is able to determine the copper speciation and concentrations of [Cu ]. Matt Hurst has also carried out studies on copper speciation using an approach based upon anodic stripping voltammetry and a thin mercury film, rotating glassy-carbon disc electrode with a novel nafion film to protect it from interferences.
