8. The passion emanated when I took a course on coastal zone management & realised how depleting Ghana's coastal resources are. #MyGreenStory

9. Since the university was based in a #coastal area, I could feel the direct impact of #society on coastal #ecological resources #MyGreenStory

10. One major factor was mentorship. I had some great mentors whom I owe my story to. Dr. Michael Miyittah and Dr. Denis Aheto #MyGreenStory
