Institutionalizing the adaptive management process around which the two approved co-management plans were designed has been a key priority. Continuing to reinforce the capacity of the government and civil society co-management institutions responsible for implementation of the two plans has been central to all Year 4 activities. This included accompanying them to lead and implement, with the project in a decidedly less proactive role. This annual report describes Year 4 accomplishments (October 1, 2012 – September 30, 2013).

Yet, many small-scale fisheries in developing countries fail to maximize value of seafood products due to post-harvest loss, production, distribution, and marketing challenges.The purpose of this study is to examine how post-harvest innovations might address some of these challenges, whom they benefit along the fisheries value chain, and factors that influence adoption of innovations through two case studies in West Africa.
read moreThis document provides examples of three types of coastal management bye-laws based upon the experience in Shama district. The first bye-law address flood hazard prevention and mitigation in the Anankwar wetland system in the western-most coastal area. The second bye-law provides protection to the Pra River Estuary and associated wetlands on the easternmost shore. The final bye-law establishes allowable shore uses and protection for critical coastal features along the entire coast of the District. The model bye-laws presented in this document can be adapted to any coastal district in Ghana as they are written with the existing legal framework in mind. In 2013, Shama District was adapting these models with the assistance of legal experts so that they could be formally adopted by the Shama District Assembly.
