President Fishing

news, story, article

Accra, Dec. 3,GNA – President
Akufo-Addo has encouraged fisherfolks
  to
eschew negative fishing methods including light fishing.

Addressing a durbar
of Chiefs and fisherfolks at Jamestown in Accra on Tuesday, he said he was
enthused to learn that the closed fishing season which was instituted a few
months ago by the sector ministry has yielded the needed result.

The President said
the only impediment to achieving the full benefits of the closed fishing season
was the practice of light fishing by some fisherfolks in the region.

He urged them to
support government’s efforts to ensure a sustainable use of the country’s
marine resources.

The President is on
a three-day tour of the Greater Accra Region.
