Protection and sound management of coastal and marine areas are
acknowledged as important mechanisms for alleviating poverty in the
developing tropics. Tanzania has had considerable practical experience
with a diversity of models that rely on private sector partnerships,
community co-management regimes, and government-led initiatives for
marine protection. Blueprint 2050 outlines a vision of what a
protected area system could look like in 50 years. It draws on
state-of-the-art ecosystem, socioeconomic, financial, and institutional
background studies to paint a picture that emphasizes community-based
adaptive co-management within a flexible system of eight
protected area networks, one of which is the Exclusive Economic
Zone.
'Blueprint 2050 is an impressive piece of professional work
which addresses the plight of the many communities whose livelihoods
depend on Tanzania's marine resources. Environmental conservation,
sustainability, efficiency, good governance, and a pro-poor
policy stance come out as key issues in pursuit of Tanzania's
millennium development goals by these communities.'

Vice President's Office, United Republic of Tanzania
'It is my sincere hope that Blueprint 2050 will serve the
intended purpose of promoting the development of marine protected areas
based on our current policies and legislation.'
