Science In Mozambique: Opportunities For US Collaboration A Center for Marine Sciences and oceanography is planned at Eduardo Mondlane The program also defines activities for the short, medium, and long term. http://www.aaas.org/international/africa/moz/hoguane.html
Extractions: Marine Sciences and Oceanography in Mozambique Mozambiques 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.
Science In Mozambique: Opportunities For US Collaboration This second Roundtable reviewed the successes of activities in West Africa duringthe Marine Sciences and oceanography in Mozambique Antonio Hoguane http://www.aaas.org/international/africa/moz/
Extractions: 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.

Smart Partners: Overview Overview of Environment Canada s collaborative activities with Universities Traditional EC collaborative activities include the involvement of students http://www.cesn-rcse.ec.gc.ca/eng/docs/sp01_overview.html
Extractions: Science Policy Branch, Environment Canada, 2004 In particular, EC has a long and productive history of working closely with university colleagues in areas of mutual interest. A recent bibliometric study of peer-reviewed environmental research articles published between 1980 and 1998 showed that Environment Canada is the largest producer of published research in a number of environmental fields. Moreover, the study showed that EC is the main partner of each of the other nine top producers of environmental research articles in Canada, of which six are universities. We recognise that partnerships and networks with academic researchers are of mutual benefit. Environment Canada benefits from improved effectiveness in fulfilling its mandate. Working closely with university colleagues not only helps to keep our scientists up-to-date with current scientific thinking but also provides them with direct access to graduate students, tomorrow's environmental researchers. And it is not just in research that we benefit from these close ties. Environment Canada benefits as well from the work of numerous summer students, co-op students and graduates. Some will become the next generation of EC employees. Universities benefit from increased research opportunities, high-calibre teaching and research supervision for their students, and access to EC's unique facilities and specialized equipment.

Extractions: ST. ANDREWS BIOLOGICAL STATION The Invertebrate Fisheries Division is committed to providing good scientific information for solving management problems in invertebrate fisheries of the Maritime provinces. This is achieved by studying population dynamics of invertebrates and plants and their interactions in the ecosystem, by monitoring their fisheries, and by providing timely, accurate and clearly understood information to fishery managers, industry and other clients. The Gulf of Maine Crustacean Fisheries Section, one of five sections in the division, is unique in that its staff work out of two locations; the St. Andrews Biological Station (3 full-time staff), and the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (2 full-time staff). Given the geographical range of the mandate (Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine), and the nature of the fisheries for which it is responsible (inshore and offshore fleets operating out of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia), this arrangement facilitates close contact with clients. Although there are only 5 full-time staff in the Section, actual project teams are often expanded by research fellows, graduate students, interns, and contract staff. Active research collaborations are also maintained with scientists from other DFO laboratories and outside agencies.
