Mainstreaming Biodiversity
Embedding biodiversity conservation into the coastal and fishery production landscape to promote sustainability across Ghana's marine production landscapes.

Thematic Area
Blue Economy
Marine, coastal, freshwater and wetland ecosystems are among the most productive — and most vulnerable — on Earth. We protect them through an integrated approach that links livelihoods, climate resilience and biodiversity.
The Challenge
Productive waters under pressure
Heavy reliance on aquatic ecosystems — including over-exploitation — is driving dramatic change across marine, coastal, freshwater and wetland systems.
Conservation Alliance International seeks to protect these ecosystems through an integrated approach for socio-economic improvement, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and wider biodiversity conservation targets.

What We Do
An integrated approach to blue landscapes
Four connected workstreams that keep coasts, wetlands and fisheries healthy and productive.
Mangrove & Wetland Restoration
Restoring mangrove and wetland ecosystems — including the Songor, Muni–Pomadze and Densu wetlands — through a community-based approach.
SongorMuni–PomadzeDensu
Coastal Ecological Assessment
Assessing the ecological integrity of the Southern Coastal landscape to identify areas suitable for ecosystem restoration and biodiversity offset.

Sustainable Fisheries
Improving livelihoods through sustainable fishery development — so coastal communities can prosper without depleting the resource they depend on.

In Focus · Wetland Restoration
Restoring wetlands, community by community
Mangroves and wetlands buffer coasts, store carbon and cradle fisheries. We restore three of Ghana's most important wetland systems through a community-based approach.
- 01Songor
Restoring one of Ghana's key Ramsar wetland and lagoon systems.
- 02Muni–Pomadze
Rehabilitating coastal wetland habitat and its biodiversity.
- 03Densu
Reviving the Densu delta's mangroves alongside local communities.
Our Approach
One integrated strategy for water, wildlife and people
We protect coastal, marine, freshwater and wetland ecosystems through a single integrated approach that delivers on three fronts at once.
Socio-economic
Improving livelihoods for the communities that rely on these waters.
Climate Resilience
Supporting both mitigation and adaptation across blue landscapes.
Biodiversity
Widening conservation targets across marine and wetland systems.
Protect Our Waters
Keep coasts and wetlands alive
Support community-based restoration and sustainable fisheries that protect Ghana's blue landscapes for generations to come.
