Protecting marine life in Kenya

Kenya’s rich marine ecosystems face various threats ranging from rapid population growth and concomitantly increased fisheries exploitation, illegal fishing, and loss of mangrove cover, coupled with global environmental threats such as climate change and increased development pressures, which brings habitat degradation.
IFAW is working in coastal Kenya to reduce pressures on marine species and ecosystems and increase effective protection measures through locally managed marine areas (LMMAs) and community-led species protection and conservation initiatives.
Our work focuses on:
1. Improving capacity for conservation of marine species by supporting specialized training to government agency personnel and local community members.
2. Supporting population studies of key marine species, including marine mammals, sea turtles, and sharks and rays.
3. Diversifying local community livelihoods to reduce reliance on over-extraction of marine resources.
4. Improving waste management as a strategy to reduce and manage marine debris along the coast, helping to decrease entanglements and ingestion by marine animals while improving coastal habitats and the lives of communities in these areas.

Very sad that they are using mosquito nets which strip everything out of the ocean including fish eggs it sounds like. They should not be allowed to do that.
