NO This compiled report presents national legal analyses from eight East African countries—Comoros, France (Réunion), Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Somalia, and Tanzania—detailing each nation’s framework for marine and coastal environmental protection. Produced under the UNEP Regional Seas Programme, it examines statutory instruments governing marine pollution control, coastal resource use, environmental conservation, and maritime zones. The document identifies specific legal gaps and enforcement challenges, such as the lack of regulation for coral and sand extraction in Comoros, insufficient sewage management in Mombasa (Kenya), and limited coverage of marine pollution under Madagascar’s mining code. It includes detailed references to national decrees, ordinances, and international conventions ratified or unratified by each state.
