Lake Victoria is an international waterbody that offers the riparian communities a large number of extremely important environmental services. Over the past three decades or so, the lake has come under increasing and considerable pressure from a variety of interlinked human activities such as overfishing, species introductions, industrial pollution, eutrophication, and sedimentation. In this paper we examine the root causes for overfishing and pollution in Lake Victoria and give possible policy options that can help remediate or mitigate the environmental degradation.
维多利亚湖是一个国际水体，为沿岸社区提供了大量极其重要的环境服务。在过去三十年左右的时间里，该湖受到了来自过度捕捞、物种引进、工业污染、富营养化和沉积等各种相互关联的人类活动日益增加且相当大的压力。在本文中，我们研究了维多利亚湖过度捕捞和污染的根本原因，并给出了有助于补救或减轻环境退化的可能政策选择。
