Ghana spends $200 million annually to import fish to shore up its fish requirements due to illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing activities which have contributed significantly to a decline in fish stocks, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said.<\/p>\n

To curb the menace of illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing activities, Nana Akufo-Addo said a National Plan of Action is being implemented.<\/p>\n

Components of this plan, he indicated, include fish catch certification, reactivation and installation of vessel monitoring systems (VMS), automatic identification system (AIS) on vessels, port, and beach inspections, and sea patrols.<\/p>\n

He added that Ghana also supports the principle of a global convention in this area.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian leader said these on Friday, February 11, 2022, when he participated in the One Ocean Summit, held in Brest, France at the invitation of Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
