Why we are here

Conscious Collaborative works in the Shama District in Ghana. Located in the Western Region, these coastal communities are intricately tied to the fishing livelihood. Over time, these communities have experienced negative impacts due to the degradation of their coastal environment which has resulted in the collapse of their fisheries. Climate change. overexploitation of fish, and economic development initiatives such as oil, gas and power generation projects, are key factors that have lead to the decline over the past two decades. The loss of livelihoods and a major food source has contributed to significant socio-economic impacts in these coastal communities ranging from an increase in teen pregnancies and unemployment to children not being able to access a basic education. But these communities are working towards a brighter future for the next generations and we hope you will join us in supporting their innovative efforts as they build their vision.

Together, we are working towards sustainable solutions for coastal communities.
