Later, at the Owusu Ansah Hall at the Naval Headquarters, Director of Naval Operations, Captain (GN) Ebenezer Kwame Yirenkyi made a presentation on the topic “Maritime Security and Regional Cooperation in Safeguarding Ghana’s Maritime Domain “. The presentation is part of a broader effort to enhance maritime safety and security of the Gulf of Guinea which has been a focus for both national and international stakeholders due to its strategic importance and the challenges posed by piracy in the region. 
Critical areas covered in the presentation included the causes of maritime insecurity in the Gulf of Guinea, the overall impact of maritime security in the region, regional initiatives to address the challenges as well as efforts by the Ghana Navy in addressing maritime insecurity.
