At the Kigungu Landing Site on Lake Victoria, Ugandan fishermen like Robert Kinene are experiencing a surge in their catches, attributing it to the government's crackdown on illegal fishing practices. With stricter enforcement measures in place, such as the banning of illegal fishing gear and increased patrols, the lake's fish stocks are rebounding. The record catches provide hope for sustainable fishing practices and the conservation of Lake Victoria's rich aquatic biodiversity.
