In 2006, Zanzibar banned the import and production of plastic bags to help protect the environment. The Government was particularly concerned with damage to marine life and the negative impact that could have on tourism. Shoppers are encouraged to use raffia reusable bags instead of plastic. Violating the ban results in a fine and/or jail time, but sceptics question if the ban will be enforced.
