Kenya's 640-kilometer coastline supports millions of livelihoods through fishing, aquaculture, tourism, and related industries. The blue economy agenda seeks to unlock this potential while safeguarding marine ecosystems for future generations.
Sustainable Practices in Focus
Community-based fisheries management, improved cold-chain infrastructure, and traceability systems are helping reduce post-harvest losses and combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. KMEA's Blue Economy categories recognize enterprises and institutions leading in sustainable marine resource management.
Collaboration between government agencies, research institutions, and private sector players remains essential to scale proven models from pilot projects to national impact.
