Jongoobahari

**Majongoobahari** (pia hujulikana kama jongoo la pwani,  kojojo, kojokojo, babaje, kiazi, matiti) ni wanyama wa baharini kwenye ngeli Holothuroidea katika faila Echinodermata (wanyama ngozi-miiba). Jongoobahari wana ngozi ngumu na mwili mrefu wenye via vya uzazi moja iliyo na matawi. Wanyama hawa wanapatikana kwenye sakafu za bahari duniani kote, wakiwa wamegawanyika kwenye spishi zipatazo 1,717. Nyingi ya hizi spishi zinapatikana eneo la Asia-Pasifiki. 

Majongoobahari yana mchango muhimu kwenye mfumo wa ekolojia wa bahari kwa kusaidia kuzungusha virutubishi na kuvunjavunja mabaki na uchafu wa kioganiki wa baharini hivyo kuruhusu bakteria kuendelea na mchakato wa kuvunjavunja. Majongoobahari hukusanywa kwa ajili ya chakula japo baadhi ya spishi zinalimwa kwa kilimo cha majini. Majongoobahari yanayookotwa yanajulikana kwa majina mengi yakiwemo trepang, namako, bêche-de-mer au balate. 

Kwa lugha ya Kiingereza jongoobahari huitwa 'sea cucumbers', ikimaanisha matango bahari kutokana na kufanana kwao na matunda ya mtango.

### Dawa
Jongoobahari husemekana wanatumika kama dawa ya kutibu magonjwa mbalimbali yakiwemo maumivu ya viungo na kasna japo hakuna ushahidi wa kisayansi kuthibitisha hayo. Utafiti unaendelea ili kujua labda baadhi ya kompaundi zilizopo kwenye jongoobahari zinaweza kua na tabia za kuzuia magonjwa kama kansa.
