From the U.S. Geological Survey. 1973-1995 Landsat and SPOT images showing environmental change caused by civil war and drought in Mozambique. Remote sensing is used by USAID's Famine Early Warning System (FEWS), which monitors drought-prone countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, to quickly detect droughts and crop failures which could lead to mass hunger and starvation.

Projects and activities of the UNEP Regional Seas Programme: protection, sustainable management and development of marine and coastal environments.

The Eastern African DataBase and Atlas Project (EAF/14) was initiated in 1993 by UNEP to improve the knowledge and management of coastal resources of Eastern Africa. The main components are the producing maps and atlases and developing a GIS based database of the coastal zone of Eastern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Comoros and Seychelles.
The database covers the land-sea interaction area, approximately 50km of the land and 50km of the ocean. You can download summaries of the atlases and lists of the ArcView based GIS layers available, and contact the project teams for more detailed data.
