The main goal of the Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School in Ghana (COESSING) is to build capacity in oceanographic and environmental sciences in Ghana. We have held schools each year from 2015 to 2021. Marine issues of great importance to Ghana include fisheries, piracy, pollution, shipping and port management, and the recent advent of offshore oil drilling. Long-term goals of our group include securing funding to continue the school on an annual basis, continuing to build links with institutions in other African countries, and continuing to increase the research footprint of the school.
