This document summarizes important information about the identified issues and recommends objectives for first steps towards Integrated Coastal Management. Chapter One describes the need for Integrated Coastal Management in Kenya and outlines the specific issues and' planning process employed to address those issues in Nyali-BamburiShanzu study site: Chapter Two describes six coastal issues that are critical to the study site as identified by the local stakeholders. For each issue, findings of fact are presented which provide background information about the current situation and why the issue is important. Then; for each issue, the document recommends objectives, and management strategies to guide decision makers on how individual agencies and private sector associations can contribute to the resolution of problems for the issue. The final Chapter of the document suggests an overall management framework to achieve the objectives and implement the recommendations for the area described in Chapter Two. It also proposes mechanisms for initiating integrated coastal management at the national level. These findings and strategies have been formulated by a multi-disciplinary team using a participatory process involving various in the area: stakeholders, administrators, pertinent government ministries, private sector groups, regional observers, local and foreign universities and international support agencies. Constant administrative and technical checks within and among groups led to the refining of the issues and the proposed management strategies that are highlighted in this document. It is envisaged that the start of Integrated Coastal Management activities at the small study site in Mombasa will yield action at the site and help make progress on Integrated Coastal Management in Kenya.Pages
