Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has launched the first of its kind sewage and wastewater treatment project to conserve the marine ecosystem in Mikindani.
The Sh40 million plant, funded by the European Union under the Go Blue Project, was implemented by UNEP and UN-Habitat in collaboration with the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI).
The innovative project aims to mitigate the sanitation crisis and safeguard the coastal ecosystem from pollution.
The wastewater treatment plant mimics natural water filtration processes.
