Vanga Seascape depend on fishing, farming, mangrove harvesting, tourism and trade for their livelihoods. Sadly today, the seascape faces a myriad of challenges: C O A S T A L A N D M A R I N E R E S O U R C E D E V E L O P M E N T ( C O M R E D ) 01 Community: Loss of customary access rights, low income returns, increased competition for resources with commercial users, poor fishery and fish marketing Resilience of the Shimoni-Vanga infrastructure, lack of alternative livelihoods, youth Seascape can therefore be unemployment, loss of local and indigenous knowledge, lack supported through: of access to lucrative markets, limited access to credit for fishers, low literacy levels Ensuring that the integrity of Mangroves: Over-exploitation, illegal logging, pollution habitats and biodiversity and deterioration of mangroves, as well as devastation to within the seascape is the ecosystem caused by climate change enhanced; Coral Reefs: Coral bleaching, over-harvesting of reef Reducing pressure on resources, destructive fishing practices and unsustainable mangrove resources from tourism domestic and commercial Beaches: Beach erosion, trampling of turtle nests, usage; pollution, flooding, and infrastructure development Diversifying and strengthening Seagrass beds: Destructive fishing, pollution, dredging, alternative community boating activities, climate change, over-exploitation of key livelihoods; species critical to this ecosystem Sharing and documenting Marine animals and plants: Habitat destruction, injury lessons learned and from boat strikes (caused by unsustainable fishing and indigenous knowledge for tourism), accidental catches, poaching better use and management of seascape resources; and Strengthening institutional seascape governance capacity. The COMRED-led activities highlighted in this newsletter are geared towards collaborative, collective and strategic community action within the seascape with the goal of building its social, economic, and ecological resilience. These activities build on past projects of establishment of Community Conservation Areas (CCAs-EAWLS) and development of the Shimoni-Vanga Joint Co- management Area Plan (JCMAP- Map of the Shimoni Vanga Seascape KCDP) among others.

The overarching long-term objective of the Seascape Strategy is to build social, economic, and ecological resilience in seascapes through community-based activities. The seascape approach encourages cross-community interactions and synergies among community projects, enabling harmonisation of activities to optimise protection, manage trade- offs and ensure sustainability.

  • 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.

The OP 4.10 is triggered when it is likely that groups that meet criteria of OP 4.10 “are present in, or have collective attachment to, the project area”. It is to guide the preparation of subprojects that may affect Vulnerable and Marginalised Groups (VMGs) in the proposed project areas. OP 4.10 ‘contributes to the Bank's mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development by ensuring that the development process fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples. For all projects that are proposed for Bank financing and affect Vulnerable and Marginalised Groups (VMGs), the Bank requires the borrower to engage in a process of free, prior, and informed consultation leading to broad community support. The Bank provides project financing only where free, prior, and informed consultation results in broad community support to the project by the affected vulnerable and marginalised groups’. Such Bank-financed projects include measures to; 1. Avoid potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous Peoples’ communities; or 2. When avoidance is not feasible, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects; 3.

  • The Political Ecology of Coastal Fisheries in Kenya
    Rural Development Sociology (RDS) Chair Group MSc. Thesis Struggles in Shimoni: The political ecology of coastal fisheries in Kenya MID Richard Dimba Kiaka Supervisors: Prof. Leontine Visser Dr. Dik Roth April, 2012 Struggles in Shimoni: The political ecology of coastal fisheries in Kenya Richard Dimba Kiaka Thesis submitted for the partial fulfillment of the degree of the MSc. Program: International Development Studies (Sociology of Development) Supervisors: Prof. Leontine Visser Dr. Dik Roth Wageningen University and Research Centre 2012, The Netherlands 2 ABSTRACT There exist constant resource-use struggles in the small-scale coastal fisheries of Kenya including Shimoni. Positivistic ecological and economic studies ignore the complex and multi-scalar socio- political nature of these struggles. Such studies inadequately reduce the cause of the struggles to competition for scarce fisheries, policy failure and stubbornness of artisanal fishers. This study, by following a political ecology approach, argues that struggles in small-scale coastal fisheries of Shimoni are influenced by unequal power relations that transform the existing socio-political relations of fisher groups. Additionally, the study argues that fluid identity politics can be used by small-scale artisanal fishers to challenge the unequal power relations. Particular focus is on ring net and spear gun fishing, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Co-management – Beach Management Unit (BMU). Key words: Resource-use struggles, political ecology, power relations, identity politics, small-scale coastal fisheries, Ring net, Spear gun, MPAs, Co-management, BMU, Kenya, Shimoni, 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I undertook this study with invaluable academic guidance from my supervisors, Professor Leontine Visser and Dr. Dik Roth. Leontine’s advice right from proposal building to thesis writing helped me to shape my focus from a wider and vague idea of fisheries co-management to a more specific socio- political resource-use struggles in coastal fisheries.
