| Abstract | Coastal zone management, the sustainable use of coastal resources, is now high on the international agenda. In Kenya, the Coast Environmental Reseach Station (CERS) was started in Malindi in 1996 to liaise with other coastal organizations concerned with environmental issues. This volume contains 8 papers which are based on thesis research completed so far on the coastal zone. J. Abuodha and W.M. Musila analyse the sediments and dunes of the Sabaki River. T.M. Munyao studied sediments in the Shirazi-Funzi lagoon. S.O. Anyango, M.P. Tole, E.K. Ucakuwun and J.M. Mzuga examined groundwater in Kwale district. E.M. Ouko, S. Manohar, and F.K. Kamau were concerned with mangroves. P.M. Matiku, L. Bennun and J.F.E. Odanga, finally, studied one of the threatened bird species in the Arabuko-Sokoke forest |
