GMES and AFRICA Western Africa : Fishermen Called on the Involvement of Women to Ensure Safety at Sea
In a post published on its blog, the Regional Marine Center tells us that as part of G&A's "marine" project called MarCNoWA and co conducted in West and North Africa with the University of Ghana, a call was made by the Greater Accra regional branch of the Canoe and Gear Owners Association of Ghana during during a Safety at Sea campaign
Artisanal fishers are interested in the marine rain forecast, their positioning at sea, the broadcasting of the forecast in local languages and through the community radios, and the involvement of the women in supporting their partners in monitoring the ocean state and taking appropriate decisions.
About MarCNoWA
The Regional Marine Centre, at University of Ghana is implementing the GMES & Africa project on Marine and Coastal Areas Management for western Africa. This action is in partnership with seven state institutions, namely NIOMR, CRODT, GMet, IRHOB, CURAT, WIA, INDP. The main beneficiaries of the project are environmental and fisheries managers and coastal communities in the 12 coastal countries West Africa. The EO services provided include: monitoring and forecasting of physical and biological oceanographic variables, information on ocean processes that impact fishing and safety of fishers; intelligence to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing; monitoring of vulnerable coastal ecosystem/habitats, and shoreline changes. Another important component of the project is strengthening existing capacity to effectively utilize EO data, both by technocrats and policy and decision makers. The project is cofunded by the European Union and African Union Commissions
