The Centre for Coastal Management -ACECoR at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), has inaugurated a new Library at its new multi-purpose building complex. The new Library is named after Prof. Daniel Pauly, Lead Scientist on the Sea Around Us Project at the Institute of Oceans and Fisheries at the British Columbia, and Prof. Rashid Sumaila, a Professor of Ocean and Fisheries Economics at the same university based in Canada.
We use water for a variety of purposes, ranging from domestic, agricultural, and industrial. A constant availability of clean pure water signifies peace. The destruction of these essential resources can create ripples of unrest, disrupting the harmony within societies. Unclean water affects our health, and ecosystem health and causes a lot of imbalances in the environment.
