Kenya's coastal zone has a very diverse physical, social and economic environment. A number of government bodies have management authority over resources and environment and several associations represent a wide range of interest groups operating in coastal areas. Kenya's coastal environment and its resources are increasingly under pressure from human settlements and related socio-economic activities. These activities range from tourism and trading to food production. Kenya has not developed a national integrated coastal zone management programme. The major issues and concerns in the management of coastal areas in Kenya include over-exploitation of resources, poor land use practices leading to erosion and sedimentation, pollution from land-based and maritime activities.
