Stop Overfishing and Preserve Kenya Marine Life
Marine life used to be abundant!
Turtles and other coral fish have been depleted due to climate change and overfishing.
Aquarium dealers delight
Aquarium dealers are nortorious for illegally catching these exotic fish. They then sell them to the Western markets for large profits.
Tangled in Nets
Most exotic fish get tangled in nets and since the fisherman are unwilling to slash their nets, the marine life simply dies.
Fisherman used to use hooks
In the old days, fisherman used to use hooks to catch their fish. Now with modern plastic nets, marine life, especially turtles and whales, are dying at alarming rates.
No Where to Hide
With the coral reef depleting rapidly, the exotic fish have no where to live.
Stop Overfishing and boost Economy
45% of the coastal Kenya income comes from tourism. Much of this is from marine conservation, thus to stop overfishing is to help promote community development.
Need to Develop Fisherman
Due to the influx of fisherman coming from all across East Africa, there is a desperate need to train the local fisherman and teach them the importance of conserving the marine biodiversity.
Coral reef fish are exotic
