KARMOL donated, on Wednesday October 26th, many fishing and fish conservation articles to 50 members of two fishermen associations from Nacala-Porto and Nacala-a-Velha, in Nampula province. This social responsibility action took place within the scope of support for the promotion of sustainable fishing and the preservation of fishing ecosystems, through the substitution of harmful practices.

The initiative was directed to the Marinhas de Maiaia Association in Nacala-Porto, which has a total of 22 members, and to the Nreni Nimananihe Association in Nacala-a-Velha, with 28 members. Among the donated items are safety vests and fishing nets, colmans, and refrigerated chests.

The ceremony for the delivery of the materials took place in Nacala-Porto and was conducted by representatives of KARMOL, who highlighted, on the occasion, the importance of good practices in order to ensure sustainability in the development of fishing activity.

The president of the Association Marinhas de Maiaia, Tuanha Abacar, thanked the support of KARMOL, noting that the items offered "will help fishermen to leave practices harmful to the environment, such as the use of mosquito nets. “It also gives us the opportunity to catch quality fish, in recommended quantities, and to preserve it in good conditions for marketing," he said.

Ussene Buana, president of the Nreni Nimananihe Association, said that "this type of support encourages fishermen to respect the rules of fishing activity, such as closed seasons, and thus avoid constraints on the growth of the blue economy. We are aware of the great challenges, but with the involvement of companies like KARMOL, we will be able to overcome them," said Buana.

With this initiative, KARMOL reinforces its long term commitment to the communities where it operates, with the aim of improving the living conditions of the local populations in the Nacala area. This action comes in the wake of other social responsibility initiatives that KARMOL has been carrying out periodically since it started its operations, providing support to various social institutions and hospitals in the region, and also assisting numerous times in cases of natural disasters.

KARMOL supplies power to the city of Nacala and the northern region of the country, strengthening the electricity grid of the entire region.
