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.

Activity leaders : Kyei Yamoah, Froukje Kruijssen, Senior Consevation Officer to be recruited
Activity Team : Nana Efua, Patricia Mensah, Felix Nany, WFC Team, Peace Corps Volunteers
2, NGO Conservation Foundation, NGO Blue Ventures As with Shama district, this focal area remains central in landscape governance, but also hosts a
pilot site for integrated resource governance and sustainable livelihood implementation.
The largely undeveloped coast line possesses a series of pocket beaches where low-key guest houses and tourism facilities have been established. Large economic forces, including oil and
gas exploration and production, new proposals for large scale coastal tourism investments, continuing expansion of rubber and oil palm plantations and outgrowing, and recent proposals to
extract gold from numerous sites in these same areas around the perimeter of Cape Three Points Forest, have appeared as major challenges to any assumption that coastal development will be
gradual and gentle in its use of the focal area’s natural resources and existing businesses and settlements.
A major emphasis in the remaining two years of the project will be to examine conditions at selected landing beaches and define how the enabling conditions may be strengthened for
improving the manner in which the infrastructure and services required to receive, process and ship a highly perishable product may be put in place. This requires spatial planning in a context
of climate change and strengthening the capacity of local governance systems to resolve conflicts and meet increasing demand for shorefront space from competing industries.
In Year 2, CRC-Ghana and its partners expanded their engagement with leaders and stakeholders in Ahanta West to learn about and provide input on ongoing development planning work,
especially the spatial planning effort led by a consortium of Korean organizations. An experienced professional volunteer assessed the capacity of villages in the vicinity of Cape Three
Points forest to establish and carry out community resource management areas CREMA which
