Oceana Ghana is part of a global organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. In Ghana, we focus on ensuring that marine ecosystems remain healthy, productive, and capable of sustaining the millions of people who depend on them.

Fishing is central to life in Ghana’s coastal communities. However, increasing pressure from overfishing, illegal fishing activities, and environmental changes has led to declining fish stocks and growing concerns about food security.

Oceana Ghana works to address these challenges through advocacy, science-driven campaigns, and community engagement aimed at restoring abundance to Ghana’s oceans.

Our Mission

Our mission is to protect and restore Ghana’s oceans through policies and actions that:

• Rebuild fish populations
• Protect marine biodiversity
• Strengthen coastal livelihoods
• Promote sustainable fisheries management
• Ensure long-term food security

We believe that healthy oceans are essential for thriving communities and a sustainable future.

What We Do

Policy Advocacy

We work with government institutions and stakeholders to develop and promote strong fisheries policies that support sustainability and transparency.

Community Engagement

We collaborate with coastal and fishing communities to ensure their voices are included in decisions that affect their livelihoods.

Ocean Protection Campaigns

We lead targeted campaigns that address overfishing, illegal fishing practices, and destructive fishing methods.

Research & Awareness

We use science and data to raise awareness about the state of marine ecosystems and promote informed decision-making.

Our Focus Areas

• Sustainable fisheries management
• Marine conservation
• Small-scale fisher support
• Ocean policy reform
• Climate resilience in coastal areas
• Food security and nutrition

Why It Matters

Millions of people in Ghana rely on the ocean for food, employment, and income. Fish is a primary source of protein for many households, especially in coastal regions.

However, declining fish stocks threaten livelihoods, increase food insecurity, and put pressure on already vulnerable communities.

Protecting the ocean is not only an environmental issue—it is an economic and social necessity.

• Science-based research to guide action
