Marine Community Project Partners

Marine Litre Ghana is a bold new initiative aimed at tackling marine litter at its root. Combining community action with tech innovation, the project intercepts plastic waste from rivers, engages local youth in tracking and upcycling efforts, and generates real-time data to inform national decision-making.









We are building a decentralized, community-powered solution to Ghana’s marine litter crisis, starting from the Volta estuary in Ada.

Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking individuals, researchers, innovators, NGOs, and local change agents with expertise and a strong track record in one or more of the following areas:

Marine litter interception (e.g., booms, traps, floating barriers)

Plastic waste auditing and classification (coastal or riverine)

Community-based recycling or upcycling innovations

Circular economy initiatives focused on plastic recovery

Citizen science or youth engagement on coastal pollution

Marine and freshwater ecology related to pollution impact

Data tools for environmental mapping or dashboards

Lead or contribute to training programs for youth and fisherfolk

Support data validation and integration into the national marine litter dashboard

Offer advisory input into product design for recovered plastic (e.g., school furniture, tiles)
