Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Emelia Arthur, has assured artisanal fishermen that they will be exempt from the annual close fishing season under the John Mahama administration.
However, this exemption comes with conditions.
Fishermen must adhere to best fishing practices, including observing traditional non-fishing days and avoiding harmful fishing methods.
During her visit to the Nygeresia fishing beach, Emelia Arthur emphasized the importance of responsible fishing practices to ensure the sustainability of Ghana's fisheries resources.
