A Survey of the Coral Reef habitats of the Mombasa Marine Park and Reserve with a Review of the Existing Park Boundary.

The Mombasa marine park and reserve includes an area restricted from fishing and an adjacent area where traditional fishing is allowed. The management of the Mombasa marine park and reserve however is experiencing the problems that arise from planning and creation of a marine park and reserve without taking into consideration the needs of all the stakeholders. One of the main communities that has been adversely affected by the creation of the MMP is the fishing community. The size of the area available for fishing has drastically reduced resulting increased conflict between park management and the fishing community.
