Celebrated Ghanaian musician, Kwame Nsiah-Apau, affectionately called Okyeame Kwame in the showbiz circles, has partnered with the Director for Wildliife and Human Resources Organisation (WHRO Ghana), and Senior Lecturer
Department of Marine and Fisheries Sciences at the University of Ghana,
Dr.Kofi Agyekumhene for a cleanup exercise at Abia Beach in Ningo-Prampram.
The cleanup slated for this Saturday, November 8, 2025, is aimed at promoting clean and resilient coastal ecosystems.
The initiative also seeks to protect endangered sea turtle species that nest along Ghana’s coast. This effort forms part of their broader commitment to conserve marine biodiversity and maintain healthy coastal environments for both humans and wildlife.
Speaking to Dr.Agyekumhene, he further added that with this initiative, they want to raise awareness about the importance of protecting marine habitats and reducing coastal pollution, especially in areas serving as sea turtle nesting sites.
He said, through this initiative with Okyeame Kwame, they hope to inspire collective responsibility among coastal communities, institutions, strengthen partnerships between local communities, government agencies, and conservation organizations, as well as support sustainable coastal livelihoods by ensuring cleaner, healthier beaches that benefit both people and nature.
The cleanup is part of a continuous effort rather than a one-time activity. Over the years, the Wildlife and Human Resources Organisation (WHRO Ghana), together with its partners, have organised several beach cleanups to maintain sea turtle nesting sites and coastal cleanliness.
While this event takes place on Saturday,November 8,2025, WHRO plans to expand its efforts across more coastal communities in the coming years.
It is their goal to make coastal cleanups a national culture, working with District/Municipal assemblies and traditional authorities so that coastal sanitation becomes a key part of local and national development agenda.
