Nairobi Convention Discussion Forum

An international ocean conservation report says Kenya’s coastal waters are chocking with debris.

The report, A Rising Tide of Ocean Debris and What We Can Do About It, identifies used shotgun shells, condoms, fridges, gas cookers and bottles as some of the waste, making Kenya the second worst ocean polluter of in Africa after Nigeria.

Kenya is among five countries covered by the report, with more than 91,000 items collected at its coastline against Nigeria’s one million pieces of debris.
