Environmental Threats and Opportunities Assessment (ETOA) /Liberia2014.pdf 19/Liberia2014.pdf In the short term, the EPA is keen to work with stakeholders and partners on the State of Marine Environment Report MamiWata Project Launch State of the Marine Environment

MamiWata Project Launch Information Sharing and Enforcement Liberia: Issues and Challenges (1) Enforcement of laws and regulations cuts across all major issues and challenges faced by the invasion of seaweed along the coast of Liberia. (1) There is little known of ocean and coastal resources in Liberia, as well as the sub region; (2) Data for particular region and/or sector are either not available or shared amongst relevant stakeholders and partners; and (3) There are no national/regional research institutions with agreements to either train early career scientists/professionals or share data and information for management and mitigation purposes.
