| The Kenyan coastline is approximately 500 km long, with a well developed fringing reef system except where major rivers (Tana and Athi Sabaki) discharge into the Indian Ocean (Hamilton and Brakel, 1984). Additionally patch reefs occur in Malindi and Kiunga in the north and Shimoni in the south on the Kenya Tanzania border (Fig. 1). Coral reefs are the predominant marine ecosystem in terms of ecology and economy but seagrass beds and mangrove forests also contribute to the economy of the coastal communities ( Muthiga ITMEMS). The coastal topography, climate and habitats of the Kenyan coast have been described in McClanahan 1988, McClanahan and Young 1986, Obura et al 2000). In order to conserve and manage these important ecosystems, the government of Kenya... |

| The Kenyan coastline is approximately 500 km long, and stretches from 1° 42’ S to 4° 40’ S bordering Somalia in the North and Tanzania in the south (Fig. 1). It has a well-developed fringing reef system. The major oceanographic currents largely drive patterns of coastal currents. South of Malindi, the East African coastal current flows northeast throughout the year coming up from Tanzania and originally driven by the south equatorial current.... |
