PULSE: Taking the Pulse of The Ocean
While human marine activities mainly occur along coasts, much of the coastal ocean lacks regular observation. Particularly in West Africa, there is a scarcity of data due to the expense, complexity, and technical skills required to deploy marine observation equipment. However, these countries are expected to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals, such as those related

However, the sustainability of fisheries is threatened by overfishing, marine pollution and climate change. Seaweed cultivation and collection are increasingly being promoted by the government, as alternative source of income for coastal communities and contribution to food security.
