1/17
1. NAME OF ORGANISATION:
Protect Nature (PRONAT)-Sierra Leone
2. PROJECT DURATION:
Five years 2011-2015
3. VISION:
To ensure and enhance a better participatory management/governance practice and
conservation of the Sierra Leonean coastal and marine resources faced with the threat of
climate change and environmental degradation. Phenomena highlighted in the first, seventh
and eighth millennium development goals Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger;
ensuring environmental sustainability; developing a global partnership for development.
4. MISSION:
To promote efficient and improved communication and information sharing system on
sustainable coastal and marine resources with the total use of Participatory Governance
techniques with stakeholders, partners and line ministries. Also, as its mission, PRONAT-SL
will lobby and advocate in drafting and implementation of a strategic national action plan for
sustainable management of marine resources, conservation, drafting of a law on coastal and
marine activities.

Over the years, the mangrove ecosystem and its resources played a significant role on the
level of biodiversity and profited both animal species and human beings. It did not only
provide breeding ground, food and nursery sites for resources such as shrimps, oysters, crabs,snappers, tarpons but also helped in reducing the impact of high sea tide and flooding which
resulted from the indiscriminate exploitation of this ecosystem. The mangrove ecosystem had
also provided adequate shelter and breeding grounds for over wintering birds (migrated from
Europe and America due to bad winter weather and poor food supply) that stopped by to feed
and breed.
8. JUSTIFICATION:
The project when fully implemented would empower the local communities with knowledge
about the negative impact of their activities on the coastal and marine resources. It would
also enable the communities to adopt and promote better management practices that would
ensure the sustainable utilization of coastal and marine resources whilst maintaining their
potentiality. By providing alternative livelihoods for communities, the project would also
minimize the direct exploitation of coastal and marine resources thus enhancing the
restoration of balanced ecosystems. Finally, through the involvement of key stakeholders
(political leaders, traditional etc) the project would create a legal framework that seeks to
enhance the formulation of laws and bye-laws that promote the sustainable management and
conservation of marine and coastal resources.

stretches along the estuaries of the Scarcies, Rokel, Sherbro River and Yawri bay. This mangrove
ecology survive at the tropical latitude and at temperature of 16 degree centigrade with
beautification of ridge of the peninsula forest overlooking the coastal areas and beaches far
stretched especially in the western area . It is known to have a total surface area of 28,000 sq. miles
with soil types which range from clay, sand, loamy, gravel and silt that influence the range of
activities prone to the marine ecology
The country has a population of about 5million from the recent national projections by Statistics
Sierra Leone, the institution responsible for population studies, with a heterogeneous population
which includes; Mende, Themne, Limba, Fullah, Loko, Sherbro, Kissy, Vai, Kurankoh, etc. who practice a wide range of livelihood activities on a day to day basis and practice multiparty
