It is one of the 10 villages that make up the Pate Marine Community Conservancy. Amina explains that these are boundary markers of a critical and protected zone called Ijamba Idodi in Ndo Pate within the Pate Marine Community Conservancy. The high tide is receding and we head to the meeting area, where everyone is patiently waiting for the octopus fishing grounds to be opened. Amina has earned the name because she has been leading a number of women in octopus fishing to sustain their livelihoods. At the end of the year, the savings are split between Pate, Shanga Rubu and Shanga Ishakani Beach Management Units.
