Introduction
Joseph L. Awange; Obiero Ong’ang’a
This Chapter has presented elaborate satellite techniques that would propel research on the Lake. Such techniques are not only desirable but a MUST if meaningful and realistic understanding of the Lake is to be achieved. The realization of these methods however will require initial capital investment by the stakeholders. They will be valuable treasures to invest in.
Pp. 1-3
Background of Lake Victoria
Joseph L. Awange; Obiero Ong’ang’a
This chapter has discussed some elements of demographic features of Lake Victoria region. It is a region where the population growth rate is very high and average population density also high. These two phenomena have a direct bearing on the environment, leading to serious environmental degradation, soil erosion, pollution of the Lake and the decline in soil fertility. It is therefore imperative that measures be taken to address the issues concerning population pressure and environmental degradation.
Pp. 5-16
Resources
Joseph L. Awange; Obiero Ong’ang’a
The and other international agreements, in particular those concerning the protection of the marine environment against oil pollution, provide for an individual liability of polluters. There has been an increasing trend to hold individuals or corporations liable for oil pollution damage. No such trend exists in respect of State liability, neither subsidiary in cases where the individual polluter does not provide compensation, nor in cases where environmental damage results from the violation of a State’s own non-compliance of international environmental obligations. In respect of the latter general international law on state responsibility is of relevance.
Pp. 17-83
Eco-Tourism
Joseph L. Awange; Obiero Ong’ang’a
This Chapter has presented elaborate satellite techniques that would propel research on the Lake. Such techniques are not only desirable but a MUST if meaningful and realistic understanding of the Lake is to be achieved. The realization of these methods however will require initial capital investment by the stakeholders. They will be valuable treasures to invest in.
Pp. 85-111
Environmental Concerns and Management
Joseph L. Awange; Obiero Ong’ang’a
The chapter has outlined important functions played by wetlands and measures that are useful for the protection and sustainable management of the Lake’s wetlands. Basic information about wetlands and management techniques that protect the functions and values of these lands are essential for the survival of the few remaining wetlands of Lake Victoria. For interested readers, we refer you to the Wetland research in the Lake Victoria basin: Analysis and synthesis I.
Pp. 113-178
