Clean Climate and Environment Campaign Initiative (CCAECI): Safe Harbours: Pilot Maritime Safety Innovation in Coastal Nigeria
Lloyd's Register Foundation awarded a grant of GBP 10,000 to Clean Climate and Environment Campaign Initiative (CCAECI) for work in Nigeria, dated 14 August 2025.
Overview
This project will pilot a community-led maritime safety system in Rivers State, Nigeria, where frequent boat accidents endanger lives. It will introduce low-cost innovations—such as solar-powered safety beacons, emergency signal points, and local weather boards—to improve navigation and emergency response for small boat users. In collaboration with boat unions and local authorities, the project will also build community capacity through safety awareness workshops. The outcomes will inform the potential for future scale-up and partnerships focused on reducing maritime risk in under-resourced settings.
