and prohibited uses of shore and water area zones. The format and presentation of this information will also help inform the approach to be used in Ahanta West coastal tourism sites
and Ellembelle Jomoro shore villages. Assistance will be provided if the District expresses a strong interest in adopting the shore management guidance as a bye-law, which is possible as
part of the ongoing spatial planning work.
Specifically, early in Year 3 Hen Mpoano will carefully review the draft shoreline assessment and identify added detail and assessment work as required. To assist Shama in making case-by-
case decision making, additional work will be carried out to identify and assess the effectiveness of individual shore protection structures and policy options for addressing shore use and
condition concerns in specific segments of the shoreline. This information will be compiled and conveyed in reader-friendly formats, for example as an interpretative shore atlas. The project
team will also assemble and make readily accessible existing shoreline monitoring data and propose and test approaches for conducting local monitoring and data analysis of shoreline
conditions and dynamics. The project team will assist in preparing a shore management bye-law if strong interest is expressed by District.
2.1.4 Livelihood Resilience for the Anlo Beach Fish Landing Site
The ultimate on-the-ground extension of much of the work covered by the Initiative is to bring together diverse coastal governance components at the community level to improve community
and ecosystem health, resilience and wellbeing. The participatory mapping effort at Anlo Beach highlighted this site and its associated wetlands as a potential pilot and demonstration site for
integrated livelihood and ecological management, in essence serving as a model agro-eco- village. The approach in Year 3 is to build upon the vulnerability assessment and the agro-
aquaculture approaches utilized by WorldFish, and detailed as Component 2.4 below, to generate a local plan that promotes complementary land and seascape activities within this coastal
ecosystem, and integrates this with community level governance institutions.
Preliminary assessments in the area have identified vulnerability, sea level rise, flooding, mangrove destruction, gleaning, and settlement relocation as key community issues. These will
be assessed more comprehensively in part through the methodology described in Section 2.4. Detailed technical information will also be undertaken on wetlands characteristics and use
patterns, landscape suitability for agriculture and resettlement, sediment transport and erosion dynamics will be gathered. With the leadership and full engagement of Anlo Village, the ICFG
Initiative will work towards wetlands conservation and restoration and community based management of fisheries and habitats. Participatory scenario exercises will be used to plan
interventions to address major vulnerabilities. Community institutions will lead the intervention process and develop adaptive management protocols.
Linking ecosystems and livelihoods Detailed livelihood analysis conducted as part of community baseline surveys will feed directly
in to the linked analysis of community livelihoods and draw-down of ecosystem services utilized by the community. If possible, the two will be linked by semi-quantitative diagraph modeling to
