Fisherman dies in Homa Bay after dispute over Lake Victoria fishing grounds

One fisherman died in Homa Bay after rival groups clashed over fishing grounds in Lake Victoria. The fatal confrontation occurred at Mukuyu Beach, escalating from a dispute over fishing area encroachment. Beach management officials cited illegal fishing practices as a cause for depleted fish stocks and increased territorial conflicts. Leaders warn that unless illegal fishing is addressed, such conflicts could become more frequent. They also urge fishermen to explore alternative livelihoods to reduce overdependence on the lake.
