Mombasa committed to advancing environmental sustainability; Nassir says at Ocean summit

Speaking at the 11th Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, the Governor highlighted Mombasa’s ongoing efforts to modernize waste management systems, enhance waste collection and recycling, and promote responsible waste disposal.

He noted that the county is making significant strides toward investing in an integrated waste management project aimed at reducing environmental pollution.

According to Nassir, the initiative is expected to strengthen environmental protection efforts and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable Mombasa.

Governor Nassir argued that effective waste management requires ownership, innovation, and collaboration between government, communities, and the private sector.

He further underscored the importance of improving sewer management systems to prevent pollution of marine ecosystems and safeguard public health.

"As a coastal city whose economy and identity are closely tied to the ocean, Mombasa continues to champion marine conservation efforts, including reducing marine pollution, protecting coastal habitats, and promoting sustainable environmental practices," said the governor.

He further assured that the county remains committed to implementing long-term solutions that support a cleaner environment, healthier communities, and a sustainable blue economy for future generations.
