It is 6 am, and James Ochieng’ wades the Lake Victoria water. He is returning home from work, but with nothing to show for braving the cold and waves all night.
Ochieng’ is not new to this trade. He has been a fisherman for 20 years. But clearly, with every passing year, the catch is dwindling. Now he wonders if he should try another occupation.
When he began fishing in 2002, Ochieng’ could net 400kg of Tilapia in a day, and from that earn Sh200,000. Today he says the maximum he can get from a day’s catch is Sh10,000. Sometimes he returns home empty handed.
