Last update: 4 hours agoMarine Conservation: São Tomé and Príncipe has officially designated its first two marine protected areas off the coast—Ilhéu das Rolas–Malanza–Jalé and Santana—part of a planned network of eight MPAs meant to safeguard mangroves, nesting beaches, reefs, and key species like marine turtles and seabirds. Protected Zones for Fishers: Santana includes a 1 km² no-take zone where industrial fishing and other resource collection are banned, while the wider area allows regulated artisanal fishing and low-impact activities. Tourism Connectivity Watch: Separate from local waters, a World Bank Tourism Watch report says São Tomé and Príncipe saw a 7% drop in estimated aviation passenger arrivals in Q1 2026, while regional growth leaders included Chad (+25%) and Cabo Verde (+24%), highlighting how air connectivity is shifting across West and Central Africa.
