Cash income from women in Gazi Bay only came from this ecotourism initiative in 2011 (UNEP 2011). At Wasini, the boardwalk project generated US$6 500 from entrance fees in 2002, of which US$2 000 was used to set up a craft shop and US$2 800 given to members as dividends (Zeppel 2006). Although total compliance with unregulated mangrove cutting may not have been achieved consistently amongst the stakeholders, community members acknowledged that capacity-building and the associated financial incentive had promoted compliance with the resource use regulations and management within the mangroves (UNEP 2006).
