Kuruwitu Conservation & Welfare CBO

Kuruwitu Conservation & Welfare CBO Established in 2003 to protect the fragile reef & diverse marine life at Kuruwitu, Kenya Coast.

As the first community-run marine initiative on the Indian Ocean, it has become a role model in grassroots conservation & sustainability. 'Conserving to Restore the Promise of the Sea'

The Kuruwitu-Vipingo marine area, situated on the northern coast of Kenya, is characterised by sandy beaches, coral reefs, lagoons, ancient coastal forests, cliffs, caves and mangrove swamps. The marine waters are

an important biodiversity hotspot with a distinct coral reef ecosystem and diverse surrounding area - home to many species of endangered ornamental fish and sea turtles as well as large variety of birds, fish, mammals, plants and other organisms. Our aim at KCWA is to manage sustainable marine resources for the local fishing community and environment as a whole, as well as to set 'best practise' for the expansion of marine conservation projects along the Kenya coast.
