Project 3: Applied aquatic ecology
Goal: To sustain healthy aquatic ecosystems in Northern Tanzania to promote long term sustainable ecosystem services that improve the livelihoods of local communities.
Project objectives:
- To strengthen the aquatic research capacity in Northern Tanzania.
- To increase knowledge on the effects of pollutants on aquatic food webs and ecosystem services
- To provide local people access to information about good practices that can promote good water quality and freshwater ecosystem services.
While training and community outreach are part of the activities within the project, specific activities will be done in ways that reflect the training of PhD and project goals and targets.
