The Purpose
Kenya’s seagrass meadows are important coastal ecosystems whose climate, fisheries and biodiversity value extends well beyond what can be seen from the shoreline.
Support a ProgrammeThe Challenge
Seagrass decline is often driven by several interacting pressures, so restoration must address the causes of degradation rather than treating transplantation as a standalone solution.
what we focus on
Four priorities for healthy seagrass landscapes:
- Protect Existing Seagrass Meadows
Protect existing seagrass meadows and reduce avoidable physical disturbance.
- Assess Site Conditions First
Assess site conditions and pressures before choosing restoration interventions.
- Connect to Fisheries and Livelihoods
Connect seagrass protection with fisheries, community knowledge and coastal livelihoods.
- Monitor and Verify Recovery
Monitor ecological recovery and keep blue carbon claims tied to measurable evidence.
