Esther Mhamila

Kilwa-Mafia Seascape Coordinator

Esther Mhamila is an Aquatic and Fisheries Scientist passionate about protecting marine wildlife and empowering coastal communities. With over three years of experience, her work focuses on collaborative fisheries management, raising awareness about marine conservation, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for those dependent on aquatic resources.

Esther firmly believes that small, everyday actions can either harm or heal our marine ecosystems. This belief fuels her dedication to conservation efforts that protect the health of our oceans while respecting the needs of local communities. She combines research, data, and storytelling to highlight the importance of endangered species and inspire meaningful action.

For Esther, conservation is about more than protecting marine life, it’s about working hand-in-hand with coastal communities to build a future where people and nature thrive together. She enjoys engaging with people, sharing knowledge, and seeing the positive impact of small, collective efforts on the environment.
