  • Fishing methods
  • Nursery and breeding grounds for fish
  • Environmental protection
  • Availability of fish
  • Improved image of the industry
  • Employment opportunities amongst many other concerns

As a proud member of Ornamental Fish Industry (OFI) and now a major partner with KMFRI Kenya Marine Center is in the core of the campaign to conserve the ocean reserves by insisting on its message and policy of hand and net fish only.
