With approximately US$40,000 funding, MBL will engage stakeholders including youths and coastal communities in Montserrado, Grand Cape Mount, Grand Bassa, and Margibi counties in massive awareness activities. The awareness will focus on marine pollution, sustainable fishing, and climate change. The initiative will showcase the Government of Sweden’s continual support to environment and climate change issues in Liberia. It would remind the general population about the danger that marine pollution, particularly plastic pollution, poses to the environment and the survival of marine resources. Marine pollution, climate change, and sustainable fishing were among the critical thematic areas considered during the Liberia Blue Oceans Conference, forming the foundation of the initiative.
