By Ian Kiptoo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mombasa’s stunning coastline, a gem in Kenya’s blue economy, has been the focus of diligent care and preservation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second day of the Blue Economy Innovation and Investment Summit brought together many dedicated individuals with a shared purpose: cleaning and conserving this vital coastal environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The beach cleanup served as a testament to the commitment of various stakeholders, including Baus Taka, Sote Hub, and the County Government of Mombasa, in safeguarding the ocean and its ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the event, where 404 kgs of plastic waste were collected, Emily Achieng, the CECM – Water, Natural Resources and Climate Change Resilience, highlighted the importance of beach cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
