K.K Sam (2nd left) in the company of some assembly members at the fishing habour when some catch had been made<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mayor of
\nSekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly, Anthony K.K. Sam together with some
\nassembly members have paid a visit to the Sekondi Fishing Harbour to monitor
\nactivities after the end of the fishing closed season for the artisanal
\nfishermen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The closed season
\nwhich commenced on May 15 and ended on June 15, 2019 was an initiative by the
\nfisheries commission and the Ministry of Fisheries and Aqua Culture Development
\n(MOFAD).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the objectives
\nwas to help reduce the excessive pressure and over-exploiting of fish stocks in
\nthe country\u2019s marine waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MCE interacted
\nwith some of the fishermen who revealed that although they only resumed work a
\nweek ago, they had recorded some improvement and believed that they would have
\nmore catch in subsequent weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are positive
\nof a better future for the fishing communities in Ghana if this initiative is
\nstrictly enforced by the fisheries commission and the Government\u201d, the
\nfishermen added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MCE commended
\nthem for their patience during the closed season and was also hopeful that the
\ninitiative would yield positive results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Papa Kodie, in
\ncharge of the habour indicated that his office did not receive any reports on
\nfishing during the closed season and that upon opening; all the fishermen had
\nresumed active work for about a week now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He however added that, the fishermen wanted to start the closed season together with the industrial fishers instead of the separated periods.<\/p>\n
