Diani conservation group bets on ecotourism
Many of our members do not have alternative sources of income and rely solely on tourism
Ocean tours raise awareness about marine conservation among tourists and provides an alternative source of income to fishing for coastal communities. Diani Turtle Conservation Group in Kwale County is running a promising eco-tourism business, thanks to a grant from the KEMFSED project that enabled them to buy a customized boat and safety gear.
