Kenya’s Blue Carbon Bond (News #335) funded the nation’s first Community-Managed Seagrass Reserve in Tudor Creek, Mombasa, gazetted on December 16, 2025. 120 fisher families now steward 420 hectares, monitoring growth, restricting anchors, and hosting eco-swims. The bond didn’t just raise money—it returned power, said chair Aisha Mwangi. Carbon revenue (KSh 4.2M/year) funds schools and clinics. UNEP will replicate the model in Zanzibar and Madagascar.
