    Preparatory Survey for the Mombasa Gate Bridge Construction Project Chapter 14 Environmental and Social Considerations 14.1 Project Component which Affect Environmental and Social Considerations This project is for the construction of a bridge which will supplement the existing car ferry service connecting Mombasa Island and Mainland South. The project will improve traffic conditions between Mombasa Island and the Mainland and will contribute to the development of the local economy. However, the construction works and the existence and operation of the bridge may cause negative impacts on the environment and require land acquisition and involuntary resettlement for the development of approach roads. Table 14.1-1 Outlines of the Project Specifications Design speed: 50km/h Composition of bridge section: 3.5m x 4 lanes+ 1.5m road shoulders (both sides) + 2.0m pedestrian walkway (one side) Composition of ramp sections: 3.5m + 1.5m (shoulder) Road Length Total: 10.5km Main bridge: 1.4km Approach road on Mombasa side: 2.8km Approach road in Likoni: 4.7km Widening of existing road (Likoni): 1.6km Main Bridge Structure: Cable-Stayed Bridge Span: 360m+720m+360m Footing of main tower: Steel Pipe Sheet Pile Foundation (Mombasa Island) Main Structure of Viaduct (PC) Approach Road Embankment Others (Spaces for Construction yard (Unfixed) Construction Storage yards for large size steel materials (Unfixed.

  • Ancient Afro-Asia Links: New Evidence from a Maritime Perspective
    Ancient Afro-Asia Links: New Evidence from a Maritime Perspective Caesar Bita Abstract Historical records have shown that the East African coast was connected to ancient global trade networks. These early overseas contacts are evidenced by references to trading voyages in the early 1 st millennium AD and in the 11 th to 14 th century AD. During these periods, exports to India, China and the Persian Gulf included skins, horns, ivory and gold, whilst pottery, glass, textiles and beads were imported. Maritime archaeological studies have produced pottery, beads and shipwrecks that have showed links between East Africa and the Middle East, Indian sub-continent and China. Furthermore, historic Kenyan coastal settlements such as Mombasa, Malindi and Lamu were important port towns of call for merchant shipping, as they were strategically sited along busy sea-lanes. This paper examines this historical connection between ancient Kenyan coastal towns and the Asian continent. It explores results of previous and ongoing underwater archaeological research in Malindi and Lamu archipelago that has produced evidence of Asian cultural heritage. Keywords East Africa; Kenya; Maritime; Swahili; Mombasa; Lamu; Pate, Malindi; Ngomeni Introduction Kenya is one of the East African countries that border the Indian Ocean. The East African coast littoral of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is referred to as the "Swahili coast" and its coastline extends for 3000 km from 1° North in Somali to 25° south to the mouth of Limpopo (Morgan 1973; Sanseverino 1983; Kusimba 1999). The dimensions of this coast cover the coastal littoral and the off-shore islands of Lamu, Pemba, Zanzibar and the Comoros (Chami 1998:199-218; Horton 1984; Sutton 1990).

  • Coastal Livelihoods in the Republic of Kenya General
    COASTAL LIVELIHOODS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA GENERAL INTRODUCTION The Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystems (ASCLME) project is focused on the two large marine ecosystems of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region, covering nine countries that are directly influenced by these current systems. It is estimated that at least fifty-six million people are reliant either directly or indirectly on the goods and services provided by these two current systems. The ASCLME project aims to support these countries in their efforts to collectively manage the marine resources on which their people and economies depend. Fisheries and other key coastal activities, including various forms of tourism, aquaculture, shipping and coastal transport, the energy sector, agriculture and forestry, are very important contributors to the economies of the countries of the WIO. In recognition of the complexity and importance of these activities, a Coastal Livelihoods Assessment (CLA) component was developed for the ASCLME project. The CLA component had three main objectives: • to collect as much existing information as possible about the main coastal activities in the nine participating countries as a contribution to the national Marine Ecosystem Diagnostic Analyses (MEDAs); • to make input into ensuring that this information is stored and organised in a manner that will allow easy access and maximum utility to multiple stakeholders, both during and after the lifetime of the ASCLME Project; • to review and sythesise the information collected in order to provide useful inputs to the TDA and SAP processes. In order to achieve these objectives, the CLA component was separated into three distinct phases, with the first phase kicking off in May 2009.
