Fishing Shanties in Ghana


The fishing shanties found along the road in Cape Coast Ghana lend themselves to all kinds of interesting images. 

Among the most important commercial activities in Cape Coast, Ghana is its commercial fishing fleet. Providing support to those who ply the ocean currents are the folks who repair the nets, process the fish and perform other economic activities essential to the trade. This means that the opportunities for great images begins in the water and carries on throughout the city but especially in the areas directly adjacent to the water. These fishing shanties provide shelter for those working in these ancillary economic activities as well as storage for much of the gear.
