</idCitation>
<idAbs>Enclosed by Madagascar on one side and part of the East coast of Africa on the other, the Northern Mozambique Channel sees 30% of global tanker traffic plying its waters while trillions of gas reserves wait to be tapped below the sea. It is also a trove of coral diversity and tuna. In this part of the world, WWF and partners are working closely with local institutions and governments to help carve a new development path–one that involves large-scale conservation while contributing to sustainable economic development and the prosperity of the region.</idAbs>
