Zanzibar/Coast. Near the shores of Bagamoyo, where the Indian Ocean’s waves meet the coastline, a group of determined women wade through the water, tending to their floating seaweed farms.
This is the Bagamoyo Seaweed Farming Initiative, a project located near the Bagamoyo fish market in Bagamoyo Municipal, Coast Region, about 10 kilometres from Bagamoyo town.
At the heart of this initiative is Ms Zuhura Shaweji, a dedicated advocate for sustainable livelihoods.
This project revitalises marine ecosystems and empowers coastal women and girls economically.
