1.1 Background
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Pathfinder International in Tanzania are jointly implementing an integrated project known as TUUNGANE that addresses collaborative fisheries management as part of Population, Health and Environment (PHE) issues for communities living in 23 coastal villages along Lake Tanganyika in Uvinza - Kigoma and Tanganyika - Katavi Regions. One of the project goals is to achieve sustainable fisheries through, among other things, formation and capacity building of Beach Management Units (BMUs) as provided by Tanzania Fisheries Act (2003) and regulations (2009).

TNC through its Tuungane project, is working closely with the Fisheries Development Division in Tanzania Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries to establish and build capacity of the BMUs/CFMIs of which the Ministry previously supported their establishment and later their registration. A key outcome desired from the BMU capacity-building initiative is the ability of BMU members to conduct sustainably, patrols and surveillance, collect reliable Catch Assessment Survey (CAS) data along with established alternative livelihoods activities to improve community lives.
