AS PART of its project to rid beaches of filth, Coastal Conservancy Organisation (CCO), <\/strong>a
\nnon-governmental organisation (NGO), in partnership with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), has
\nstarted the largest beach and coastal lands clean-up project in the country.<\/p>\n

The initiative is to ensure clean water, a vibrant ocean and
\naccessible beaches for all through the provision of long-lasting solutions to
\nthe threats faced by some of the country\u2019s beach ecosystems.<\/p>\n

CCO is currently engaged in the clean-up of 10 beaches spanning
\nfrom Tema Newtown to the Borla Beach at Osu, Accra.<\/p>\n

Justice L. Eshun, Chairman of CCO, who spoke on behalf of the
\nExecutive Director, Adjoa S. Eshun, at the launch of CCO, explained that their
\naim was to ensure more regular and a sustainable cleaning regime to take away
\ncoastal pollution.<\/p>\n

According to him, CCO is cleaning the beaches with the hope of
\nimproving sanitation situation and also the livelihood of the fishermen. <\/p>\n

Michael Achagwe Luguje, Director
\nGeneral of GPHA, said the current environmental problems confronting the
\ncoastline were significant for port management since marine safety is not only
\nlimited to the seas but also what transpires around the port environment,
\nthereby protecting the port environment from all forms of pollution that continues
\nto be a central objective of the port industry.<\/p>\n

According to him, GPHA is partnering CCO as part of its corporate
\nsocial responsibility programme to rid the marine space of all forms of filth. <\/p>\n

He appealed to maritime sector players to understand the relevance
\nof the project and support it to succeed to cover the entire coastline.<\/p>\n

For his part, Mrs. Esi Boni-Morkla, Environmental Health Analyst,
\nMinistry of Sanitation and Water Resources, who spoke on behalf of the sector minister,
\ncalled on the various metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies to
\nenforce their by-laws to punish offenders in order to ensure the safety of our
\nenvironment.<\/p>\n

Asafoatse Nii Krakradar II of the Tema Traditional Council urged
\nCCO to put in their best to sustain the project in order to ensure clean marine
\nenvironment, without relenting on its effort.<\/p>\n
