Could Lake Victoria's water hyacinth invasion have a silver lining?

- For decades, water hyacinth has been wreaking havoc on Lake Victoria in Kenya, covering vast swathes of its surface. The plant blocks out light, dramatically reducing the amount of oxygen in the lake and killing off fish. It also makes access to the open lake increasingly difficult for fishermen. But locals are looking at new ways to use the plant and make a profit from it. Our France 2 colleagues Marc de Chalvron and Baptiste Rimbert report, with FRANCE 24's Wassim Cornet.

Hi, you can eat it, feed it to livestock like pigs, chickens, goats and also use it for fertilizer, it works great
It hasn't cut down on the number of fish, that's the people harvesting irresponsible and polluting the water ways.
Turn it into bio fuel
Everybody giving them suggestions on how to use it, lol, what's lacking in Africa is motivation to fix their issues.
In Asia they tackled this problem. They feed it to livestock, make handbags with it, make it fertilizer.
The man in the video said they needed help. No they don't, all they have to do is get in the water, take it out, and start using it for many purposes.
You can make money out of it. Chickens, ducks geese love it.
Innovation
i know im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Billy Hamza Instablaster ;)
@Jensen Bodhi i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jensen Bodhi it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Billy Hamza No problem :D
the lake is dying because they do nothing.,they just want to eat the fish.,
Exactly.
Can people eat it?
No but it can become compost. Excellent compost. Some animals will eat it.
Bio gas making
The hyacinth plant is filtering the water. Purifying it. And it is also replenishing ecosystems- creating more areas for fish and wildlife to flourish. All is all. It is a good thing. Just find a way to keep a path open. In time. You all can live together in peace.
I beg you to take a single ecology class because this is not how it works
do you know what an invasive species is??
@@leons5k I'm glad someone said it XD
@@Marina-kd7qk hahahah
@jan viljoen True but the problem can be managed. Make use of it as compost, fertilizer or animal feeds
