Estuaries supply direct and indirect multi-sectoral opportunities including for transport, natural resource use and climate protection. These provisions support livelihoods and contribute to social and economic development. The Bons Sinais Estuary in Zambézia Province, central Mozambique, is adjacent to the provincial administrative capital Quelima...
Xai-Xai Beach is a shallow semi-enclosed lagoon, about 2,000m long, 200m wide and 3m average depth, protected from ocean swell by a reef about 0.75m above the Mean Sea Level, with small gaps along its extension. Despite being protected from ocean waves, the lagoon, which is popular with tourists, is a dangerous place to swim, with an average of 8-9...
This report summarizes the 2013 field experiment at Tofo Beach, Tofo, Inhambane, in which measurements of bottom topography, currents, sea level, and surface waves were collected. A visual assessment of the surrounding areas was also made, and some comments are made concerning the morphology at Tofo Beach.

Alongshore flows strongly driven by tides and waves is studied in the context of a one-dimensional numerical model. Observations from field surveys performed in a semi-enclosed lagoon (1.7 km×0.2 km) outside Xai-Xai, Mozambique, are used to validate the model results. The model is able to capture most of the observed temporal variability of the cur...
Giant waves and strong currents occur in Xai-Xai Beach causing hazard to swimmers and fishermen. On average 7 deaths by drowning are reported to occur in Xai-Xai Beach a year. Two field experiments were conducted in Xai-Xai Beach: one in October 2011 during neap tides and in October/November in 2012 aimed at observing the waves and currents. Wave h...
