Secondly, we have to understand that the fish species in Lake Naivasha are not traditional. The last time traditional fish was seen there was in 1968. Most of the fish in Lake Naivasha is introduced. Just like any other species that you introduce in an environment that is not traditionally theirs, as environmental phenomena change, those organisms may not cope like the species that have evolved naturally in that place. All the three or four fish species we have in that lake, for example, Tilapia and others were introduced. So, the phenomenal changes in the lake in terms of when the water recedes, for example, Lake Naivasha contracted in the last 11 months by almost three kilometers and pastoralist moved in--- Plants that would traditionally grow on land also grew and were submerged when the water came in. When that happens, the plants decay because they are not aquatic vegetation. As they decay they use up oxygen. So, there are many phenomena than just to point a direct finger and say: “This is the cause.” I think this is something that needs to be handled professionally."
