As efforts to re-energize East Africa’s blue economy get underway, ocean protection and conservation remain a key factor. The region takes pride in its rich marine biodiversity, a factor that positively impacts various economic activities, including fishing and tourism.
Although the East African coast faces challenges towards achieving protection and conservation goals, various strategies have already been put in place as mitigation measures.
Key among these measures is the recently-launched Jahazi Project, an initiative led by Ascending Africa.
