Our History

WIOMSA is registered in Zanzibar, Tanzania and South Africa. While our role has evolved over time, our focus on working with members and partners to promote interdisciplinary marine and coastal science remains steadfast.

We have come of age, constantly innovating at every step to ensure that our founding mission of promoting marine science and management for the development of the WIO-remains as relevant today as it did many years ago.
