This paper discusses two legislative Acts in Kenya, the Territorial Waters Act of 1972 and the Continental Shelf Act of 197 5. It is the first in a series of studies which will examine the development of legislation and policies related to the control of coastal and off-shore resources in Eastern Africa. This study focusses on key concepts in the statutes and analyses the texts in order to identify potential strengths and weaknesses. Where appropriate, recommendations are made to fill any lacunae and provide the comprehensive legislative framework necessary for the effective management of coastal and off-shore resources.Page Range
