Recordist's notes

XY stereo recording of a streamlet in Fiapre in the Bono Region of Ghana. The location is a marshland with human settlement surrounding it. There are concerning sanitation and fragmentation issues on this wetland. This is a part of further field recording practice by Miss Victoria Asante, a BSc Biological Science graduate of the UENR - University of Energy Natural Resources, Ghana. She is also a Scientific Resource Person on the CSEM and WISEA projects and working on scientific parameters to determine the health of the waters in the community as well as the ecosystem. She presented on "Wetlands and their Communal Importance" at the first CSEM and WISEA residency program on Sound and Ecology held in Koforidua, Eastern Region of Ghana. The acoustic and scientific data being gathered will be used to build sound installations on fragile ecosystems to educate, sensitise the public, and inform policies on them.
