This case study focuses on Ali Issa Chemni, a semi-industrial fisher from Shimoni, Kwale County, Kenya, detailing his business, vessel, crew, and challenges since 2000. It highlights his financing needs, current assets, and aspirations for upgrading to fiberglass boats, while also noting the lack of insurance for his operations. The study aims to understand the profile and financial needs of such fishers, likely as part of a blue finance training.
