UN Ghana cleans Ussher Fort beach

The United Nations in Ghana held a clean-up exercise at the Ussher Fort Beach as part of activities leading to the UN Ocean Conference taking place in Lisbon, Portugal. The clean-up was held in partnership with the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and Zoomlion Ghana Limited, and was supported by UN-Habitat. Residents of the community, representing a large proportion of fisherfolk, were actively involved. They were sensitized on the essence of protecting our marines, oceans and seas.
