The Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has scheduled a planned demolition exercise at the Tema Ramsar site for Monday, August 4, 2025.
The exercise, to be led by Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, aims to demolish unauthorised structures built on the site.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com on Friday, August 1, 2025, some of the affected areas include Tema Communities 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12.
Linda Ocloo raised concerns about the growing rate of illegal encroachments on the protected site, describing it as a 'serious threat to the ecological integrity of the Ramsar Site,' and pledged to take swift action to halt the degradation of wetlands across the country. "This is a protected area, and we cannot allow private developers or individuals to compromise its long-term environmental value," the minister is quoted as saying by citinewsroom.com.
