Households from the Kwale county which is the southernmost coastal county in Kenya. The survey employed a mixed-method crosssectional study design, collecting qualitative and quantitative data at different levels. The study adopted a multi-stage sampling procedure where three sub-counties in Kwale county that border the ocean front, Lunga Lunga, Msambweni, and Matuga were purposively selected in the first stage. In the second stage, nine locations bordering the ocean in these sub-counties were randomly selected, and thereafter villages selected randomly from the nine locations. The sampling of households in the villages was random and involved drawing transects across the villages and picking individual households randomly.

This study was conducted in Kwale county in coastal Kenya. The county is one of the six counties in the coastal region of Kenya and a member of the Jumuia ya Kaunti za Pwani (JKP) economic block. It borders Taita Taveta County to the Northwest, Kilifi County to the North and Northeast, Mombasa County and the Indian Ocean to the East and Southeast and the United Republic of Tanzania to the Southwest. The County is located in the Southern tip of Kenya (Figure 1), lying between Latitudes 30.05º to 40.75º South and Longitudes 38.52º to 39.51º East. Kwale County covers an area of about 8,270.2 km2, 62 of this being water surface. This area excludes the 200 nautical miles’ coastal strip known as the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). The county was selected because it represents all possible economic activities carried out by coastal communities in Kenya. It also forms a continuum with the northern coast of Tanzania.
