Summary[edit]

Description
English: A fisherman mends his nets in Ghana's Cape Coast. USAID’s integrated coastal fisheries governance project has assisted the Government of Ghana and key stakeholders in strengthening their capacity to conserve and protect marine fisheries. These fisheries are a critical resource in Ghana, where 60 percent of animal protein comes from marine fisheries and 2.2 million people depend on them for their livelihoods. As such, fish play an important role in Ghana’s food security. They are often the only accessible and affordable source of animal protein for poor households in urban and peri-urban areas. Fish is also smoked and dried and transported to the rural regions in the northern part of the country, where it is a critical source of protein and micro-nutrients such as iron, iodine, zinc, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin B.
Deutsch: Ein Fischer flickt seine Netze in Cape Coast, Ghana.
Ein, die Küstenfischerei integrierendes Projekt der ghanaischen Regierung und anderen, bedeutenden Teilnehmern wurde von der US Agency for International Development (USAID) federführend unterstützt. Das Ziel lag dabei in der Stärkung der Fähigkeit zwecks Erhaltung und zum Schutz der Meeresfischerei. Diese Fischerei ist eine bedeutende Ressource in Ghana, wo 60 Prozent des tierischen Proteins für die menschliche Ernährung von der Meeresfischerei geliefert werden. Für 2,2 Millionen Menschen bildet die Meeresfischerei die Lebensgrundlage. Fische als solche spielen generell eine wichtige Rolle in Ghanas Lebensmittelsicherheit. Sie sind oft die einzige zugängliche und erschwingliche tierische Proteinquelle für ärmere Haushalte in städtischen und stadtnahen Gebieten. Der Fisch wird auch geräuchert und getrocknet und in die ländlichen Gegenden im Norden des Landes geliefert, wo er eine wichtige Quelle für Protein und Spurenelemente wie Eisen, Iod, Zink, Calcium sowie für Vitamin A und Vitamin B ist.
