Coastal marine ecosystems are threatened by multiple natural and human-induced stressors. Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors such as pollution, habitat loss and over-exploitation of resources are key examples. Unfortunately the cumulative effects of these stressors are less understood for tropical coastal marine ecosystems.
The Centre for Coastal Management has organised the first session of the 2019 series of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) short courses. The five-day course was organised as part of activities of the USAID/UCC Fisheries and Coastal Management Capacity Building Support Project being implemented by the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at the University of Cape Coast, from 25th to 29th March 2019.
In September, 2018, the University of Cape Coast was competitively selected by the World Bank from among solicited proposals received from across universities in West and Central Africa to establish the Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience (ACECoR) on its campus.
