Ghanaian Coastline

Life on the road, travelling the 550km’s of Ghana’s coastline to make local communities aware of the risks that oil being found offshore posed to their communities and livelihoods. The biggest single industry/group that would be impacted where the fishing communities. From the livelihood fishermen supporting themselves and their families to the larger boats that feed the towns and cities across Ghana and into central Africa.

 

The project aimed to ensure that communities knew what a potential environmental disaster would look like, what the risks were, how they would be informed and what support they would receive.

 

Reaching 2000+ people over a 5 week period these photos remind me of the people I met and the coastline and communities I was working with to protect.

Perfect parking. The jumble of boats and kit and people
