Our Vision
A Western Region coastline where mangrove forests thrive, water runs clean, and every community has the resilience to meet a changing climate on its own terms.
Our History
From a single beach clean-up to a coastal movement
In 2019, twelve volunteers organised a single Saturday clean-up on Anlo Beach after a season of unusually severe flooding. What they found, alongside the litter, was a shoreline stripped of the mangrove roots that once held it together. That first clean-up became a monthly gathering, then a registered NGO, then a network of fourteen partner communities stretching along the Western Region coastline.
Today, Tidal Roots Ghana runs year-round restoration, water, and education programs — still led by the same principle that started it all: the people closest to the shoreline are best placed to protect it.
Our Mission
To restore coastal ecosystems and secure clean water through community-led action, environmental education, and partnerships that put local knowledge first.
Our Core Values
Community ownership, scientific rigour, transparency in every cedi spent, and respect for the people whose lives are tied to this coastline.

Why We Exist
The coast cannot wait for someone else to act
Erosion claims an estimated two metres of Western Region shoreline every year in some districts. Families who have fished these waters for generations are watching their landing beaches disappear. Tidal Roots Ghana exists because the people living this reality refused to treat it as inevitable — and because real, lasting solutions start at the community level, not from the outside in.
