Read the passage below carefully and determine whether the statement that follows is True or False based on logical deduction from the text.
Passage:
For decades, the artisanal fishers of Uganda’s Ssese Islands relied on traditional wooden canoes and selective gillnets to harvest native tilapia species, ensuring sustainable aquatic yields. However, the introduction of the predatory Nile perch, coupled with the proliferation of unregulated trawlers employing illegal small-mesh nets, severely disrupted the lake's ecological equilibrium. In response to dwindling catch volumes and deteriorating water quality caused by algae blooms, local fishing communities formed Beach Management Units (BMUs) to self-regulate harvest quotas and enforce seasonal bans in spawning bays. Although state authorities initially viewed these community-led patrols with skepticism, preferring top-down enforcement by naval coastguards, recent field surveys indicate that BMU-monitored zones experienced a forty percent recovery in indigenous fish populations over three years. Despite this success, commercial export processing factories along the mainland coast continue to incentivize overfishing by purchasing undersized catch through informal middlemen, undermining the islanders' conservation efforts.
Statement:
The commercial export processing factories directly prioritize short-term profit over the long-term sustainability of the lake's fishery ecosystem.
