Lake Victoria is the largest freshwater tropical lake with total area of 69,000 Km2. The lake is a transboundary freshwater resource shared by Kenya (6%), Uganda (45%) and Tanzania (49%) by surface area. Rwanda and Burundi constitute its upper watershed with critical rivers draining into the lake. The basin is home to around 47 million inhabitants, with an estimated population density of 300 persons per km2, one of the highest in the continent. Lake Victoria freshwater fisheries is one of the largest globally and historically used to be constituted by diverse endemic fish species of over 500 species. However, diverse endemic native species have drastically gone down since the introduction of alien species of Nile perch and Tilapine, overfishing, pollution, catchment degradation and eutrophication. Inland fisheries of Lake Victoria in Kenya is governed through Fisheries Management and Development Act, 2016 (No. 35 of 2016) which details issues on fisheries management and conservation, aquaculture and fish processing and marketing and Fisheries (Beach Management Units) Regulations, 2007 (Cap. 378) which provides for establishment and administration of beach management units, responsible for co-management of fisheries through strengthening of management of fish-landing stations, fishery resources and the aquatic environment. Lake Victoria, Kenya has 281 BMUs with a membership of over 80,000 people working in fisheries. The foregoing decline in wild capture fisheries necessities needs to create and protect freshwater fish reserves for breeding and restoration of wild capture fisheries. However, this is curtailed by zero or weak legal regimes to facilitate protection of capture fisheries. This has created challenges in implementation, compliance, and enforcement of protection of capture fisheries in Lake Victoria. This paper presents a case study of working with fisheries co-management local communities' associations for monitoring of fish biodiversity and protection of fish biodiversity through creation of freshwater community conservation areas
