Strengthening mariculture remains a key priority for the County Government of Kilifi as it works to improve food security, create jobs, and expand economic opportunities for residents.

[Kilifi Public Communications Unit @BlueEconomy003]

The @KilifiCountyGov is currently conducting a fish sampling exercise to monitor the performance of mariculture ponds across Kilifi County.

In Lutsangani, Jaribuni Ward, a technical team visited Takaye, Soyosoyo, and Mambo ni Sasa Self-Help Groups to assess their progress.

[Kilifi Public Communications Unit @BlueEconomy003]

The groups have constructed two modern fish ponds each and adopted improved mariculture practices to boost prawn and milkfish production.

The exercise helps track growth rates, productivity, and overall pond performance, ensuring farmers are on course for higher yields.

H.E. @GideonMungaroM officially launched 31 modern fishing boats equipped with outboard engines, aimed at improving access to offshore waters. This initiative is expected to boost fish production and provide additional income for our fishing communities.

[Gideon M. Mung'aro, OGW @GideonMungaroM]

Kwenye awamu yetu ya pili ya mradi wa KEMFSED, leo hii tumepeana maboti 31 ya kisasa yenye thamani ya zaidi ya shillingi millioni 84 kwa vikundi mbali mbali vya wavuvi mjini Malindi.

Hii ni katika juhudi zetu za kuendelea kuboresha sekta ya uvuvi kaunti ya Kilifi, ambapo mpaka sasa kwa jumla, tumefikia vikundi 135 kupitia KEMFSED, ikijumuisha vikundi vya ukulima, ufugaji, mazingira, ununuzi wa majokofu ya kuhifadhia samaki pamoja na ufadhili wa masomo kwa wanafunzi kwa gharama ya shillingi millioni 380.

Inanipa furaha kwamba, vikundi tulivyovikabili vifaa kama hivi katika awamu ya kwanza, tayari vimeandikisha faida ya zaidi ya shillingi millioni tatu kutokana na mauzo ya samaki, na naamini kupitia kwa ufadhili huu, mapato ya wavuvi wetu yataendelea kuongezeka na kuimarisha uchumi wetu.
