Mombasa Launches Seagrass Swim for Carbon Awareness

Mombasa hosted the Seagrass Swim on October 26, 2025—a 2km ocean swim where GPS trackers mapped seagrass meadows, vital carbon sinks. Over 400 athletes joined; data aided KMFRI’s blue carbon mapping. Your stroke measures the sea’s lungs, said marine biologist Dr. Salim Ali. Safaricom funded data analysis. UNEP cited it as a citizen science breakthrough. Annual editions are planned.
