Establishment of a Blue Economy Commission through Ghana’s 2025 national budget.
Strong stance against IUU fishing, marine pollution, and coastal erosion.
Emphasis on regional cooperation through an Atlantic Africa Maritime Pact.
Commitment to marine conservation, inclusive growth, youth empowerment, and climate resilience.
Call for investment in marine infrastructure, innovation, and sustainable livelihoods.
The sea connects us, not divides us. Let’s work together to secure a sustainable and prosperous future for the Gulf of Guinea and beyond!
