Fishing & Marine Resources

UMA Fishing & Marine Resources Ltd is the fishing division of UMA Group, focused on sustainable fishing, seafood trade, and marine-based economic development in Zanzibar. Operating along the rich coastal waters of the Indian Ocean, we work closely with local fishing communities to deliver high-quality, fresh seafood to both domestic and regional markets — while ensuring the long-term health of marine ecosystems.

Our mission is to promote responsible fishing, create employment opportunities, and contribute to Zanzibar’s blue economy.
