Tana River County launched the Mangrove Canoe Polo for Women League on August 10, 2025—12 teams competing in water polo from *mtumbwi* canoes amid restored mangroves. Strength isn’t on land—it’s on water, in unity, said captain Aisha Mwangi. KWS and KMFRI supported eco-routing. The league boosted women’s income by KSh 12 million via eco-tourism. UNESCO is documenting it for gender innovation. Annual league confirmed.
