Kenya’s northern coast supports extensive coral reefs and seagrass meadows, critical marine species habitat, important carbon sinks, and community wellbeing, yet is increasingly threatened by unsustainable practices including over exploitation, destructive fishing, and by-catch. The project will secure ecosystem health and function in existing and new Locally-Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs) to safeguard community wellbeing, carbon sinks, and endangered marine species. Activities include building capacity in sustainable, local marine resource management and decision-making, and influencing policy approaches at a regional scale.
