Abstract
The objectives of the Coastal Wetlands
Management Project for Ghana (1993-99) were to maintain the
ecological integrity of five key coastal wetland areas by
involving the people who derive their livelihood from these
ecosystems in the planning and implementation of management
programs; to identify and monitor the common resources that
benefit the human and bird populations in the wetlands, and
manage them without unduly restricting the options of people
to derive benefit from the resources. It would also develop
capabilities at government and community level for
implementing the program. This project was implemented with
the assistance of a Global Environmental Trust Fund grant.
