Dar es Salaam. Stakeholders have called for strong protection of the Indian Ocean to safeguard marine ecosystems and support Tanzania’s blue economy.
They have warned that unsafe fishing practices, coral reef destruction and pollution are increasingly threatening coastal livelihoods.
Speaking during the Immersive Ocean Exhibition and XR Film Premiere organised by Seede XR in Dar es Salaam, Action for Ocean Storytelling Communications officer, Evelyne Peter, said lack of awareness on safe diving practices has led to avoidable injuries and deaths among divers.
