Aquacultures benefit coastal regions through a more stable provision of nutrition, additional income, and consequently, better quality of life. The approach of ecological aqua farming further promotes healthy economic growth; reduces environmental pressures and threats to marine life and furthers natural wildlife, public health and the advancement of women. Sponge- and Coral farming techniques were not known in East Africa till now.

Our actual aquaculture projects are:

> > > Cultivation of natural sea sponges

> > > Cultivation of corals

Across the globe, oceans are suffering from ruthless over-exploitation. Marine life is rapidly being decimated and much of it is now threatened by extinction.

We believe that ecological aqua farming is a meaningful contribution to the conservation of the ecosystem and also offers alternative sources of income for coastal communities.
