Mangroves are increasingly being degraded in West Africa. We explored local utilization, threats and assessed existing conservation practices Ghana through field visits, mapping, laboratory analyses interviews. The study reports three species of mangroves along Ghana’s coastline; white (Avicennia germinans), red (Rhizophora racemosa), black (Laguncularia racemosa) mangroves. White mangrove is the most dominant, with least. current cover was estimated at 72.4 km2 over 18 million trees...
Despite increased efforts from government agencies, scientists, and non-government organizations over the past few decades, anthropogenic sources of sea turtle mortality continue to threaten survivorship species around globe. More recent engage local people with community-based conservation programs have been based primarily on economic incentives less cultural social traditions. But there is growing evidence that informal institutions such as taboos can be extremely effective at promoting...
Lagoon-barrier systems are a dynamic coastal environment. When an ephemeral connection between lagoon and the ocean develops, it has significant impact on hydrology, sedimentology ecology. Increasingly, human actions sea level rise also influence lagoons with potential to increase their connectivity ocean. The Muni-Pomadze in central Ghana is small lagoon-barrier system that intermittently open Following opening 2014 was for more than two years. Causes unusually long period of unclear...
The growing demand for fish around the world is an immediate threat to marine megafauna that are unintentionally captured in commercial and artisanal fishery operations. Bycatch mitigation strategies, such as turtle excluder devices, circle hooks, net illumination, have successfully reduced this risk some fisheries. We explored effectiveness of gillnet illumination reduce sea captures 2 fisheries (Mankoadze Winneba, Ghana) under normal fishing conditions. first quantified bycatch Ghana's...
The challenges facing the ocean and its resources have become increasingly complex transboundary, requiring coordinated efforts for effective management sustainable use. However, this coordination is currently hindered by uneven distribution of capacity equipment, particularly in developing regions. This article discusses project-based learning (PBL) as a pathway to transferring sharing global sciences. It highlights successful PBL program, well encountered lessons learned. Addressing these...
The Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School In Nigeria and Ghana (COESSING; https://coessing.org) has been run for one week every year since 2015. school, an endorsed project of the United Nations Decade Science Sustainable Development (2021–2030), provided a platform approximately 1,000 scientists from Africa, States, Europe to exchange scientific knowledge, network, learn, collaborate. Our interdisciplinary, multicultural, multi-institutional approach offers model knowledge across globe...
The recovery of depleted sea turtle populations will require careful documentation reproduction sites and anthropogenic mortality risks throughout their known ranges. Although nesting is well documented in many locations, there remains a paucity data on the species ecology western Africa. Here we provide first longitudinal study activity Ghana. In decreasing order abundance, observed olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) (60 nests/yr), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) (17 green (Chelonia...
