Kumi Wetlands Fish Farming Project
Kumi wetlands fish farming project is seeking to promote the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands and wetland resources in Kumi District while at the same time improving nutritional intake and widening the income base of the rural communities. The project has two objectives which can be summarized as: conservation of wetland resources through participatory development and implementation of wetland management plans; and improvement of income levels of communities by supporting fish farming as an integral part of wetland management plans.
The major activities include developing and implementing wetland management plans; establishing a fish hatchery; providing training on fish pond construction and management, fish breeding techniques, harvesting, preservation and marketing strategies to the project beneficiaries.
