All about Watamu
Watamu is a tiny village but famously known
for the nesting of a growing number of sea turtles that sum up to an average of
forty nests within a given year. These nests of sea turtles are taken care of
in the Watamu/Malindi Marine Parks and National Reserves.
Watamu Turtle watch
is a place that benefits from the turtle protection program which incorporates
the services f the local residents and intervention of the Kenya Wildlife
Services in order to safeguard and protect the nests laid on Malindi and Watamu
beaches.
In order to ensure that the local participation is sustained, a
financial program is employed in the scheme. Further patrols are organized to
monitor the nesting turtles and trail the newly made nests in order to have a
biometric data of their number and growth and development progress. This is one
of the major things that make Watamu and Malindi to be well known not only in
Kenya but across the world.

towns in the coastal regions?
