The Government of Ghana is implementing measures to restore the lagoon to its natural ecology.
Paper abstract:The Korle Lagoon in Accra, Ghana, has become one of the most polluted water bodies on earth. It is the principal outlet through which all major drainage channels in the city empty their wastes into the sea. Large amounts of untreated industrial waste emptied into surface drains has led to severe pollution in the lagoon and disrupted its natural ecology. The Government of Ghana is implementing measures to restore the lagoon to its natural ecology.
