Rural Development | Climate Change Resilience | Biodiversity Conservation

Mtoni Limited is an aquaculture consultancy service provider supporting climate-smart aquaculture development in Kenya and the rest of East Africa. Our aim is to demonstrate that responsible aquaculture projects can deliver significant economic and social benefits, while restoring and conserving the biodiversity of adjacent ecosystems and reducing pressure on wild fish stocks. By combining our extensive experience with cutting-edge technology, Mtoni is well positioned to promote the transformation of aquaculture enterprises in East Africa.

WHY WORK WITH US

Sustainable Partnerships

Mtoni has established strong partnerships with government bodies, non-government organisations (NGOs), and local community-based organisation (CBOs) involved in marine conservation, fisheries, and aquaculture in Kenya and elsewhere. We work with global and regional organizations, including: World Bank, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia (DFAT), World Fish, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) and Kwetu Training Centre for Sustainable Development. By partnering with these and other agencies, Mtoni provides specialist knowledge and technologies to enhance economically viable, socially beneficial and environmentally sustainable aquaculture enterprises.

Grassroots Support

Mtoni is deeply committed to grassroots engagement, working closely with local communities, small-scale farmers and other stakeholders. Our hands-on approach empowers local talent through training and capacity building, ensuring that aquaculture projects are sustainable, culturally sensitive, gender inclusive, and beneficial to those directly involved. Mtoni’s community-focused development strategies foster trust, inclusivity, and shared success in every project.

Impactful Projects

Mtoni has spearheaded numerous impactful aquaculture projects, including pioneering Kenya’s first prawn hatchery, implementing successful community-based mangrove rehabilitation projects, conducting workshops on sustainable mariculture production, and transforming mariculture practices through the development of resource centres and hatcheries. By addressing economic, environmental, and regulatory aspects, Mtoni’s projects not only boost aquaculture productivity but also promote sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, and reduced pressure on wild fish stocks.
