Before the disaster, Lake Victoria faced significant environmental degradation primarily due to pollution, overfishing, and invasive species. Agricultural runoff introduced harmful nutrients, leading to eutrophication, which degraded water quality and harmed aquatic life. The introduction of the Nile perch disrupted the native fish populations, impacting the local fishing industry and biodiversity. These factors combined created a precarious ecological balance that contributed to the lake's decline.
The Lake Victoria disaster refers to a tragic incident that occurred on November 24, 1996, when a ferry named MV Bukoba capsized in Lake Victoria, resulting in the loss of over 800 lives. The disaster was attributed to factors such as overcrowding, poor weather conditions, and inadequate safety regulations. It highlighted significant shortcomings in maritime safety practices in the region and prompted calls for improved regulations and enforcement to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
