Objective This study takes an interdisciplinary systems approach to understand the linkages between river catchments and their associated coastal environments. It uses linked dynamic numerical models as tools to translate the impacts of human development in the rivers basins into resources cost based consequences to rural and urban economies in the coastal domain. At the core of this research proposal is the hypothesis that human activity in the Incomati catchment is impacting on the shrimp industry in Maputo Bay. The tools and capabilities produced from this R&D project will support the internalisation of delayed costs of upstream developments on the delivery of goods and services from coastal ecosystems.
