Mwanza. The government plans to temporarily suspend fishing in Lake Tanganyika from May, prompting mixed feelings among people who are likely to be impacted by the stoppage.
The three-month suspension is expected to come into effect on May 15 and is aimed at increasing fish reproduction, controlling illegal fishing, curbing environmental degradation and ultimately increasing productivity among fishing communities, according to Livestock and Fisheries minister Abdallah Ulega.
