Hyacinth grows into thick, green carpet of doom on fishing trade
It is more than 25 years since water hyacinth invaded Lake Victoria. When it first appeared, most fishermen thought the weed would provide breeding sites for more catch. However, it spread and covered a larger area of the lake.
Fisherman Arot Owade, 85, ventured into the fishing business five decades ago. Owade and his colleagues used to make a killing from the fish trade before the weed emerged in the late ’80s.
“Hardly a day would pass without a fisherman making at least Sh8,000 per day. We wholly depended on the fish trade,” Owade says.
The hyacinth has now formed a thick, green carpet on the lake. Fishermen are no longer able to achieve potential earnings.
