Changing fishing communities of an over fished Keta Lagoon Complex (a Ramsar Site) into fish ranchers/farmers in their communities to enhance livelihoods. SureFISH won the DM 2002 for its Pilot Phase.
Currently there is virtually no socio-economic activity in these rural communities of the Project Districts due to extreme reduction in fishery output from the over fished/depleted resources. The situation is much worse for women whose major livelihoods were fish handling, processing and trade. Project’s fish farming/ranching and husbandry being transferred to the communities will produce assured fish towards reviving food security, livelihoods and urban-drift reduction for men, women and youth.
These require participatory dentification of material, services, technology needs, learning and knowledge share and transfer.
SureFISH Project’s goal is to provide livelihoods improvement opportunities in rural fishing communities; by establishing community controlled and managed culture based fisheries.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
