Abstract:
This paper examines the fisheries management systems in Kenya with a view to suggesting better management options that may scale up the overall production of the fisheries sector. Management practices are reviewed and the current production estimates analyzed against a trajectory of previous yearly production models. The study reveals good fish farming ideas that are poorly implemented, serious challenges facing capture fisheries and a stagnated production. Suggestions are offered on strategic management, the role of supportive research and on environmental impacts so as to increase Kenya’s fisheries production and improve the quality of fish reared or harvested for national food security.
