A delegation from the University of Ghana's Department of Marine and Fisheries Sciences, together with collaborators from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA, visited the Naval Headquarters to express their appreciation to the Ghana Navy for its support of the ongoing Ocean Margins Initiative (OMI) project on Tuesday 29 April, 2025.
The OMI is a collaborative research effort closely aligned with Ghana’s national priorities in advancing ocean health, strengthening maritime security, and enhancing climate resilience to promote sustainable management of Ghana’s ocean resources.
The team led by Dr. Edem Mahu, Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana and Lead Scientist for the Ocean Margins Initiative in Ghana, commended the Ghana Navy for its vital support in deploying a research vessel - GNS AFLAO, which has played a central role in the project’s offshore operations. She noted that the partnership with the Ghana Navy was not only impactful but also strategically meaningful to the success and sustainability of the project.
