Caring for the corals of Mnemba with Nancy Iraba

Driven and passionate, Nancy Iraba is an eloquent advocate for any number of things – marine conservation, biodiversity preservation, access to the oceans, diving, woman power and so much more. As the Oceans Without Borders Project Manager at Mnemba Island off Zanzibar, she is also responsible for an initiative aimed at restoring the area’s precious coral reefs to their full glory. 

Listen as Nancy talks about her journey in marine conservation, talking about how her passion for the world’s oceans was slow to start and quick to grow. She describes the challenges of learning to dive, and speaks about the Community & Conservation team at Mnemba and describes how and why they chose to tackle a coral reef restoration project.
