Residents of Shimoni in Kwale County where construction of a new fishing port is expected to start next month want the government to address concerns on dredging activities and loss of marine environment to sustain their livelihoods.

The government will pump Sh2.6 billion in the first phase of the project and the Kwale county government has already transferred a title deed to Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) for the land.
