BAHARI YETU
KISWAHILI
Tunaanzisha Kituo cha kwanza cha Utafiti wa Nyasi Bahari kinachomilikiwa na jamii barani Afrika Mashariki, kijijini Nyamanzi, Zanzibar.
Wanawake wanaolima mwani na wavuvi wanaolinda miamba hii watamiliki kituo, sayansi na mapato yote.
Wao kwa pamoja watamiliki hati za uhai wa baharini zinazotokana na maji yao — 50–70 % zitalipwa moja kwa moja kwao.
Bahari Yetu. Kituo Chetu. Pesa Zetu.
ENGLISH
We are building East Africa’s first community-owned Seagrass Research Centre in Nyamanzi village, Zanzibar.
The women who farm seaweed and the fishermen who patrol these reefs will own the lab, the science, and the revenue.
Together they will own the marine biodiversity credits generated on their waters — 50–70 % paid direct to them.
Our ocean. Our lab. Our money.

Hati za Uhai wa Baharini
Bahari Yetu inazindua mradi wa kwanza barani Afrika Mashariki wa hati za uhai wa baharini zinazomilikiwa kabisa na wavuvi katika Menai Bay, Zanzibar.
Wavuvi wa hapa na mama wanaolima mwani wanashiriki kubuni mbinu, wanachagua wanyama wa kielelezo, na wanapokea 50–70 % ya kila hati inayouzwa moja kwa moja kwao.
Hakuna wakala wa kati.
Marine Biodiversity Credits
Bahari Yetu is launching East Africa’s first fully fisher-owned marine biodiversity credit project in Menai Bay, Zanzibar. Local fishermen and seaweed farmers co-design the methodology, choose the indicator species, and receive 50–70 % of every credit sold straight to them. No middlemen.
