The fishing industry in Lamu is unable to expand thanks to the lack of title deeds for all the 40 fish landing sites. He said the biggest challenge is that most of these landing sites are at risk of being grabbed by private developers as they lack proper documentation. “Apart from the lack of title deeds, the existing law on fisheries has not been able to specify the exact geographical positions or locations of the landing sites but has generally enlisted them as Lamu Fish Landing Site. “The other challenge is that we can’t develop any land that hasn’t been legally declared as a landing site. Last month, Governor Fahim Twaha announced plans to improve the conditions of the landing sites to grow the sector.
