As East Africa’s oceans change, coastal women build new livelihoods

In East Africa, climate change and industrial fishing are severely impacting coastal communities, particularly those relying on the ocean for their livelihoods. In Kenya, women are stepping up by embracing community tourism and restoring mangroves, adapting to the dwindling fish stocks. This shift not only offers new income sources but also supports environmental sustainability, highlighting a broader regional trend of leveraging nature-based solutions to combat climate change and economic challenges.
