On July 29th and 30th, 2010, an expert meeting was organized in Mwanza, the largest city on the Tanzanian Southern shore of lake Victoria. This meeting aimed at elaborating the detailed management conditions as bases for certification. The results of this meeting were adopted by Naturland Standard Committee and translated into inspection checklists.
In 2010, evaluation visits by representatives of Naturland and TanCert, the appointed inspection body, took place.
The final, independent inspections were conducted on April 16th - 22nd, 2011, by TanCert, and the inspection reports are available for download:
Inspection report Mwanza fishery
Inspection report Mwanza processing (Tanzania Fish Processors Ltd.)
Naturland Standards for Sustainable Capture Fishery request publication of the relevant parts of the inspection report, at least four weeks before the decision of Naturland Certification Committee about certification of the fishery project and/or conditions the certification is subjected to.
The publication shall enable a wider range of interested organisations, experts and private persons to comment on the information in the inspection report or - if the own state of insight should stand for it - take a critical position.
Naturland is grateful for such input, which we will - if required - treat as confidential. Nevertheless, we are not able to take into account anonymous tips etc.. We would kindly ask you to contact us in writing per 
Email.
