Resources management

A straight forward presentation of the keynote papers and case studies prepared for the workshop on coastal marine biosphere serves held in 1989. The keynote papers together provide an excellent digest of the different factors to be considered in biosphere reserve planning, examining constraints across the full range of physical to socio-economic spheres.

This series provides extensive details on the various issues that need to be considered in the planning of a system of marine and coastal protected areas, from legislation and administrative frameworks to key habitats and species, resource use and environmental problems. Each report concludes with a recommendations section which includes a summary of coastal and marine areas considered to be priorities for protection.

The purpose of this report is to present a brief country survey of the demand and supply of professional expertise in the field of conservation and development in Kenya. The study was carried out in Kenya over a ten-week period between November 1983 and January 1984 and is intended for use as a practical tool by the sponsor, by the Government of Kenya and other agencies.
