Lake Victoria, located in East Africa, is the largest lake on the continent and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. It spans three countries: Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. With an area of approximately 68,800 square kilometers (26,600 square miles), Lake Victoria is vital for the economies of the surrounding communities, providing water, fish, and transportation routes.
The lake is also known for its biodiversity, hosting over 500 species of fish, many of which are unique to this ecosystem. One of the most notable species is the Nile perch, which has significantly impacted the local fishing industry and has been a major driver of economic activity in the region.
Environmental issues such as pollution, invasive species, and overfishing threaten the delicate balance of the lake's ecosystem. Efforts are being made by various organizations and governments to promote sustainable fishing practices and conservation initiatives to preserve this essential natural resource.
