Coastal & marine biodiversity
Gorée Coastal & Marine Biodiversity Watch
A community ecological monitoring project to better understand and protect Gorée’s coastal and marine habitats.
The purpose
This pilot project in preparation is designed over 18 to 24 months. It proposes an ecological baseline, regular community monitoring and targeted action to reduce local pressures. The Children of the Sea strand involves young people in observation and awareness. Small-scale restoration and micro-site protection are envisaged with relevant partners and the required permissions.
Within the programme
- Establish a baseline of habitats and pressures
- Train community representatives in ecological observation
- Engage young people through Children of the Sea
- Document marine litter and coastal pressures
- Prepare pilot actions and share lessons learned
