This study summarizes a market assessment conducted in Kenya by Asia-Africa BlueTech Superhighway (AABS), led by WorldFish and supported by the UK’s COAST program under the Blue Planet Fund (BPF). The assessment is part of the AABS work package, which aims to scale Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) between 2023–2027 to support climate adaptation, food security, and livelihoods in Kenya, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. IMTA is a system integrating species like fish, shellfish, and seaweed to boost aquaculture sustainability and environmental resilience. The study focused on producers (shrimp, finfish, shellfish, seaweed) and consumers across five key coastal counties of Kenya: Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Tana River, and Lamu.
