It is involved in a project that aims to perform adaptation actions in pilot coastal sites particularly vulnerable to climate change and to anthropogenic degradation, to serve as an example for future regional and global application. The project is being implemented by the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) at the request of Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania and Senegal.
