community-driven approach to reef restoration, and promote livelihood diversification. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The marine program centres around four member conservancies in Lamu and Tana River Counties. They are Kiunga, Pate, Awer and Lower Tana Delta. <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5af1629f12b13f5ce97ca0b5/t/5ccbfb876e9a7f2c740be7f5/1556872157492/NRT_Marine_Strategy_Final.pdf">The NRT Marine Strategy is available to download here,</a> and sets out the priorities and a road map for the implementation of NRT’s Marine Program over the next few years. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Key marine programs include:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Community Based Sea Turtle Conservation </strong></p></li></ul><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Since 2016, conservancy scouts have been monitoring sea turtles— • particularly the hawksbill and green—and recording the locations of all turtle sightings and information on turtle carcasses and nests. Conservancy scout data is collected as part of Marine-CoM- MS, a conservancy scout-based monitoring system similar to Wildlife-CoMMS. Poaching, loss of nesting habitat, and netting as by-catch are all threats sea turtle populations face in Kenya. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In 2022, 35 sea turtle nestings were recorded, and 18 sea turtles caught as bycatch were rescued in Kiunga and Pate Conservancies. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Five species of sea-turtles (all classified as endangered or critically endangered) occur in Kenya’s waters with three species known to nest on beaches in NRT member conservancies: green, hawksbill and olive ridley.

An LMMA differs from a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in that LMMAs are characterised by local ownership, use and/or control, and in some areas follows the traditional tenure and management practices of the region. Communities typically set aside at least part of an LMMA as a no-take zone or impose certain gear, species, or seasonal restrictions to allow habitat and resources to recover from fishing pressure, or to sustain or increase fish catch. An LMMA can vary widely in purpose and design; however, two aspects remain constant: a well-defined or designated area, and substantial involvement of communities and/or local governments in decision making and implementation.</p></li></ul> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block video-block sqs-block-video" data-block-json="{"blockAnimation":"none","layout":"caption-below","overlay":false,"description":{"html":"<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">MEET AMINA AHMED | A group of fisherwomen took a big leap of faith when they closed off an octopus fishery \u2014 a critical source of food and income \u2014 for four months.

BMUs are governed using the Fisheries Act and the BMU Regulations of 2007, through their internal administrative rules (by-laws) approved by the BMU assembly and the Director of Fisheries.
