DESCRIPTION: In this project we will partner with scientists, academics and coastal resource managers from Kenya to lay the groundwork for the establishment of an ocean monitoring and decision support system tailored to meet Kenya's needs for sustainable management of its coastal and inland water resources. Experts from Kenya and the United States will collaborate to identify challenges, explore opportunities, and develop a roadmap to support Kenya's Vision 2030 Blue Economy objectives. Through shared expertise, dialogue and research activities we aim to facilitate the advancement of sustainable practices for protecting Kenya’s coastal resources and its marine biodiversity through informed decision-making.
