Following the discovery of Kaziwiziwi-Mchenga Chiweta Coalmines in 1984 in Rumphi district, these areas have heavily experienced the loss of natural resources due to poor settlements within landscape/seascape of the protected areas of Phwezi, ( ... )
, Boliboli and Chiweta. Such settlements have contributed to the loss of vegetation for farming and housing hence the influence of land degradation and poor forests management and among others. The situation is pathetic because a number of forests reserves in the area have been depleted resulting into low ecosystem and ecological interactions and this problem has also affected the aquatic lives

The fisheries sector in Malawi supports many population with food as a nutrient source as well as economically. However, fisheries are in a state of decline due to climate variability and change. Again, post-harvest loss is reported to be ( ... )
read on the major fisheries sites and aquaculture (Russell et al, 2008). In Malawi, losses are estimated to be as high as 30% during rainy seasons especially due to inadequate processing facilities which consequently lead to low incomes. In addition, fish processors resort to using technologies that result to products of shorter shelf life with heavy contamination or those that use a lot of fuel
