Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership
for Sustainable Coastal Communities
Sustaining our Coasts for Current and Future Generations
Who We Are
The Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership (TCMP) is a small and agile group of professionals committed to creating healthy coastal environments for the country and region. We view our organization as a catalyst for effective and sustainable changes that both safeguard valuable natural resource assets and at the same time improve the quality of life for those who live, work, and recreate along the coast. TCMP acknowledges that the real power to achieve these changes lies in strong partnerships and networks and by engaging all stakeholders. Through this approach, we leverage the strength of ideas, resources, and on-the-ground action of the many versus our own few. The Partnership has grown and prospered in the decade since it was created through collaboration of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Tanzania’s National Environment Management Council (NEMC), and the Coastal Resources Center (CRC) at the University of Rhode Island.
