The essay by Edward Mukiibi highlights the detrimental impact of fish farming on Lake Victoria, emphasizing the ecological threat it poses to the region. With over forty million people depending on the lake for sustenance, pollution, weeds, overexploitation, climate change, and an increase in fish farming cages are endangering its delicate ecosystem. The author reminisces about a time when traditional fishing methods were sustainable and respected the natural cycles of fish reproduction. However, with the rise of commercial fish farming, these practices have been disrupted, leading to environmental degradation and loss of livelihoods for local communities. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the once-thriving fishing culture along Lake Victoria's shores and laments the shift towards industrialized fish farming that is jeopardizing this fragile ecosystem.
