Blue Economy: Kilindini Campaign Launch to Unlock Kenya, East Africa Potential in Fishing

The campaign seeks to address the region’s urgent need for sustainable management of its maritime resources and enhance the professions of coastal communities dependent on the Southwest Indian Ocean for survival. Originating from the Swahili word for "deep," or "in the depths," "Kilindini" reflects its naturally deep channel and unique geography. Formed millions of years ago when rising sea levels submerged a river from the mainland, Kilindini Harbor, located in the East African region, has shaped a way of life deeply rooted in tradition, maritime heritage, and economic activity.
