Subject: [EA Coast] Fellowship for Shigalla Mahongo

Dear all,

This is to announce that Shigalla Mahongo of the Tanzania Fisheries Research
Institute (TAFIRI) succeeded in obtaining a competitive POGO-SCOR Visiting
Fellowship. His fellowship will allow him to visit Rutger's University in
the United States for one month starting this coming July or August to
receive training on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) from Dr.
Javier Zavala-Garay. Congratulations Mr. Mahongo!

Mr. Mahongo's ROMS training at Rutger's University will be an integral part
of the wider effort of modeling the dynamics of the Zanzibar Channel in
order to address such issues as pollution dispersion, beach erosion, and
coral reef health.
