Abstract:

Ghana is implementing a monitoring control and surveillance (MCS) system, which works within the network of the global position system (GPS), and is intended to provide an integrated ocean-monitoring regime and to enhance the capacity of the nation to effectively protect and utilize its ocean resources. This article reviews the need for and importance of the MCS system for Ghana. In addition, this article looks at the issues raised by the implementation of a MCS system in the context of coastal states' rights and the rights of other users of the sea.­
