Climate change is a global phenomenon. This is directly linked with an increase in carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen oxide levels in the atmosphere owing to an increase in human activity on the planet. All the three gases are ( ... )

Despite the fact that the emission of GHG in Mauritius and Rodrigues is insignificant, warming-up of the planet and its effects on our natural and ecological system are already palpable. Records

1. Executive Summary
The 90 km fringing reef surrounding the island of Rodrigues encloses a lagoon of over 240 km2. An estimated 40% of the lagoon coral and associated ecosystem is severely impacted by destructive fishing practices, siltation from ( ... )
m erosion, and pollution from agricultural and sewage run off. Many communities in Rodrigues are dependent on the lagoon, with some 2000 registered fishers attempting to glean a living from the lagoon. More than 900 fishers are estimated to be working in the southern region of the island, where a Marine Protected Area (MPA) has been designated to protect and conserve marine resources, under the

Rodrigues is an autonomous island within the Republic of Mauritius, situated within the Mascarene Archipelago, a recognised global biodiversity hotspot. Intensive fishing pressure in the lagoon over decades has resulted in drastic declines of both ( ... )
sh and invertebrate landings and the degradation of lagoon habitats. This has resulted in a decline in earnings for fishers, who are one of the poorest communities on the island. As a result, many fishers are dependent on government subsidies and their standard of living is below the national average. In recognition of the need to improve the status of the island’s marine resources, four Marine

Catches of octopus and reef fin-fish have declined by approximately 75% over the past 10 years resulting in reduced earnings and impacting the livelihood of fishers on Rodrigues.

The Island of Rodrigues is particularly vulnerable to climate change and this has direct impact on its economy. Way back in the 1960s, Rodrigues was a successful peripheral economy with its agriculture largely organised on a ( ... )
old basis, yet with a flourishing export trade with mainland Mauritius. The major Rodriguan exports to Mauritius were fish, onions, lime, sheep and poultry on a regular basis. However, all these started to decline as from the 1970s. The severe drought condition of this period was the root cause for the downward trend in agricultural production (including backyard gardening), the mainstay of the
