Coastal Manager Glenn Ricci of CRC and Dr. Kathy Castro of CELS/Fisheries Center will lead a two-week fisheries management course at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana starting Monday. The objective of the course is to develop a core leadership team to small pelagics fisheries management training forward in Ghana. The health of the small pelagic fishery (Sardinella)  is key to food security in the nation and region. Competences in fisheries management and leadership will be strengthened to ensure the team has the foundational capacity to engage a wider stakeholder group in the planning of early actions for management of the Sardinella fishery.
