The Geography Behind Our Coastal Programmes
Kilifi County is the geography where Twende Green Planet’s mangrove and seagrass restoration work is based, carried out under Kenya’s national and county-level permitting framework. We describe our work here in the terms it actually has today; a formal relationship with the county government would be named here plainly if one is established.
- Restoration programming carried out under Kenya’s national and county-level regulatory framework
- The primary coastal county (with Mombasa) where our mangrove and seagrass work is based
- Existing nature-based enterprise activity around Mida Creek shows the community-led model already working locally
- See our own Blue Carbon work for the restoration programmes based here
