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

show feedback systems between livelihoods and ecosystems. This will form the basis of a PhD project supervised by UCC with input from WorldFish.
Shama District Contributions to ICM Policy Development Issue analysis
District-wide landscape; shoreline, fish landing site, two highly vulnerable floodplains
Stakeholder engagement
Participatory land use mapping, vulnerability assessments, District sub- committee for spatial planning, village planning
Planning and Policy
Maps at District, area of particular concern scales; flood hazard and climate change vulnerability, shore condition and use analysis, wetlands protection
and recreational beach management; best practice guidelines to apply in case-by-case decisions and incorporate into zoning building codes,
recommendations to District spatial plan; local livelihood resilience plan for fish landing site
Adoption
Spatial development policies; shore development bye-law; risk management plans for specific sites including resettlement sites; Anlo Beach plan for
ecological and economically successful village
Implementation Coordinating committee functions well; Relocation of individuals and
settlements and other improvements in local resilience; Anankwari wetlands protection; recreational uses for Anankwari Beach, apply best practices in
the review of coastal development decisions, restrictions on construction in high hazard areas, active management and some restoration of mangrove
ecosystem in Anlo Pra, CREMA – like system operating for silviculture and estuary fisheries ; best practices adopted by new agriculture investor, port
and water dependent uses are protected;
Monitoring and evaluation
Shoreline erosion and dynamics are monitored, environmental data is incorporated into Shama District GIS; periodic reflections on progress are
made at the site and district levels and communicated to the Advisory Committee and to peers in other Districts.
