Growth of tourism leads to a higher demand for coastal natural resources and environment; this is due to tourism facilities and other infrastructure development. This had an impact on the resource base, threatening the productive and protective capacity of the resources. Among causes of environmental destruction includes cutting down of mangroves and natural bushes, for building construction. The study findings concluded that, the impact of coastal zone tourism development on environment in Mwera ward will be minimized through active participation of the central government and various stakeholders like NGOs, local communities, and the private sector.
