GMES and Africa Western Africa: Promotion of Earth Observation Services for Fishers' Communities. The case of the people of Abandze, Ghana

The leader of the G&A marine Project in Western and Northern Africa reports the promotion of a safety at sea campaign during the regatta (canoe race) that marked and ended the festival of fishing community groups




The ocean state forecast service provided to beneficiary countries is one of the flagship services of the MarCNoWA consortium under the GMES and Africa Project Phase II.

The service provides information and ocean state maps to protect lives and property at sea from bad weather. In Ghana, information on a 3-day forecast on the state of the sea is free via the short code *920*88# on any phone and the GMES-UG Mobile Application.

The gathering was educated on the colour codes or the numbers used to depict the ocean state. Green (1) shows a Calm state, Yellow (2) implies a Rough state, and finally Red (3) means the ocean is dangerous.
