Zanzibar fishing families have been making a living from growing seaweed since time immemorial. The changing climate, which has led to the warming of the India Ocean, has had a negative effect on seaweed farming.
Natural sponges are more resilient and critical for marine ecosystems, maintaining a healthy balance of oceanic biodiversity and coral reefs. They can be used for bathing, cleaning, painting among other uses.
Suleman Omari Mwiru, is an award-winning multimedia journalist currently working for Deutsche Welle. He was honored at the Excellence in Journalism Awards in Tanzania EJAT 2022 for his reporting on science and technology, Climate change and education category.
He describes how the sponge farming industry in Zanzibar provides a sustainable livelihood for local communities and brings a range of environmental benefits.
