The gazettement of the marine fisheries regulations act by the government is still pending, and this delay has caused frustration among the organizations. The act could provide job opportunities for the youth, create investment opportunities, and allow direct access to the ocean for fishing without limitations.
The organizations argue that this delay benefits other countries that have access to the Indian Ocean and effective fishing gear.
“Ocean conservation is important for me because as you clean it, other people find it clean and keep it clean as well. It is my first time participating in a beach clean-up, it is fun and I would recommend it to my friends”, said Baraka Mjomba, a scout from PCEA Makupa Academy partaking in the beach-clean up.
