Biodiversity decline has been reported within coastal wetlands in Ghana, threatening the ability of these ecosystems to provide goods and services on which humanity depends. In an effort to address the consequences of excessive exploitation of biodiversity in the largest wetland in Ghana, located in the Anlo-Keta area, a team from the Centre for Coastal Management engaged in a 2-day activity to educate the general public and school children living around the KLCRS on how human activities impact biodiversity within the wetland.
