	A Global Representative System of Marine Protected Areas
		Pemba (Misali, Mtangani, Matumbe and NW Pemba) (5-8'S, 39-46'E): The marine habitats of Pemba, which is surrounded by deep water and strong ocean currents are likely to be particularly significant; the waters are exceptionally clear and the reefs are well developed and very diverse with exceptional fish life.
		Throughout the region, reefs play an important role in coastal protection, fisheries and tourism, but are nevertheless under serious threat from diverse factors including over-utilization and coastal development, compounded by lack of awareness and lack of trained and experienced personnel available for reef management.
		The north and west coasts support some of the most extensive stands of mangroves in the region, for example at Baie de Bombetoka (46,000 hectares) on the Betsiboka River, the low human population density here being largely responsible for their survival, and at Baie de la Mahajamba further north.
