| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the study was to clarify the dynamics and contemporary issues among the Islamic maritime society in the Western Indian Ocean World through comparative studies between Swahili and Red Sea coasts. The common issue in African maritime societies is rapid social changes influenced by the penetration of market economy and the implementation of environmental preservation policies. In the case of a Swahili society: Kilwa island, the increased demand of food fish has encouraged the economic activity especially that of women. However, at the same time, new problems have occurred; the fish consumption decrease in the island and the radical reduction of the Islamic gift custom: sadaka. In the Dungonab Bay MPA placed at the Northern Sudanese Red Sea Coast, the framework on a ‘harmonious coexistence MPA’ between fisheries and protected animals such as Dugong has been obtained through the study on coastal resource uses according to the water depth by fishermen.
