A scientific mission is underway off the coast of Mozambique, near Ponta do Ouro, with the research vessel Dr Fridtjof Nansen. The vessel is carrying out a detailed study of Mozambique's marine ecosystems.
As part of this project, the Norwegian ship is carrying out surveys of resources and ecosystems in Mozambique's marine waters in 2025, according to information provided by the National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC)..
The aim of this research, according to ANAC, is to gather essential information on demersal and pelagic fish stocks, analysing their biomass, diversity, distribution and demographic characteristics.
The data obtained will be fundamental to better understanding the dynamics of the early life stages of marine species, contributing to the preservation and sustainable management of the country's fishing resources.
In addition, the study aims to assess biodiversity, environmental conditions and pollution levels in the region, providing a scientific basis for future conservation strategies and sustainable exploitation of Mozambique's oceans.
Before arriving in Mozambique, the same scientific vessel was working off the coast of Angola.
