The COAST Project is working to showcase some of the emerging best practices and examples that seek to demonstrate the fact that sustainable coastal tourism in Africa can indeed be achieved. In this Newsletter Edition, we showcase the work of the Benguela Current Commission (BCC), a multi-sectoral inter-governmental initiative of Angola, Namibia and South Africa. In June, 2013 the COAST Project and the BCC held a twinning event supported by the GEF where closer ties and agreements for mutual cooperation in knowledge sharing were designed and adopted.
