Scientists in Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago have described shallow reefs made of peat from coastal forests that drowned 300 to 5,000 years ago. With no living coral, they host seagrass, lobsters and 26 to 36 small fish species each.
An evaluation in Mozambique's cyclone-hit Sofala province found that bringing nutrition, sanitation and behavior-change programs to the same communities was linked to a 6.7% relative drop in severe stunting.
