dc.description.abstractA growing number of studies on the value of indigenous knowledge has underscored the importance of integrating local knowledge and practices into management and conservation programme. A study was conducted to assess indigenous knowledge system responsible for conservation of marine resources in Zanzibar. A survey was carried out in four fishing villages within Menai Bay conservation area. The presented study revealed the existence of indigenous knowledge system within the area as indicated by most of the respondents (>60%). Our findings showed that indigenous knowledge is responsible for identification of fishery regimes, fishing stocks and seasonality on fishing. The findings further revealed formal and informal tradition institutions were useful in biodiversity conservation as they managed access and control of resources along the Menai bay area. We concludes that indigenous knowledge and Institution are important in the conservation of Menai Bay and that the existing knowledge and Institutional systems needs to be protected and inherited for sustainable conservation and management of fisheries resources along the Menai Bay area.en_US
