April 2025 Visit Malawi Shinichiro Kakuma
From April 29th to May 13th, 2025, Shinichiro Kakuma visited Malawi.
The electromagnetic current meter installed to observe the flow near Chirundu was retrieved and reinstalled after data was retrieved. In addition, observations of water temperature, fluorescence intensity, and turbidity were conducted, as well as a survey of the lake bottom topography.
Based on these results, we dialogued with members of the resource management organization, Madothi BVC of Chembe Village. In consultation with Sustainable Cape Maclear, the resource management organization of Chembe Village, we designed a tool to evaluate the integrated management of fishery, forest, agricultural, and tourism resources.
