Between the Sea & the Lagoon

The Anlo-Ewe, sometimes called the quintessential sea fishermen of West Africa, are a previously non-maritime people who developed a maritime tradition. Since the mid-17th century they have attempted to domesticate the lagoons and the seas through the exploitation of salt and fish, the use of waterways as trade routes, and in the struggle to obtain security from lagoon flooding and sea erosion. This study offers a social interpretation of environmental process for the coastal lowlands of southeastern Ghana.Akyeampong, Emmanuel Kwaku is the author of 'Between the Sea & the Lagoon' with ISBN 9780852557778 and ISBN 0852557779.
