The prolonged ban on night fishing in Lamu East has led to underperformance and subsequent collapse of various fishing cooperative societies in the region.
The ban was imposed in 2011 following a spate of terror attacks by the militant group Al-Shabaab, including the abduction of tourists in areas near the Lamu-Somalia border.
