The Science and Technology Act (No,3 of 1977) was recently passed by Parliament, thereby establishing machinery in the form of the National Council for Science and Technology (NCST) to advise the Kenya government on a national science policy and coordinate related matters. One of the basic tasks which the NCST will carry out towards the goal of formulating a national science policy will be the identification and costing of projects. This will give the NSCT an insight into the state of any branch of science and technology in the country. In the case of marine sciences the NCST, operating on an ad hoc basis, appointed a Working Party of experts in November 1975 to examine the need for a Marine Resources Institute in Kenya. Involvement in this exercise has given the NCST a general view of the state of marine activities in the country. This short paper is not a presentation of the report of the Working Party, but it contains the highlights of what was found during the investigations.Page Range
