This project focused on how conservation and management policies affected not only the communities in and around the coastal areas of the country, but the lives of the very constituents who composed these communities. It followed the gender-based approach to have in-depth assessment and analysis. Methods employed included survey, participatory rural appraisal for gender analysis (PRAGEN) and interviews with key officials. Findings revealed that both men and women groups studied were aware of the conservation and management policies on coastal resources. These policies affected both groups in terms of their access and control over the resources as well as benefits they derived from coastal areas, and in turn, also their income. The policies influenced their daily activities, needs and even the degree of their participation in development projects. Though these policies affected both gender in all the areas studied, the degree of the effects varied from one study site to another. This is attributed to the heterogeneity of the socioeconomic, political and cultural factors present in each study site
