The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture has given sector players an opportunity to scrutinise and make input in a new Fisheries Bill to be laid before Parliament.
The bill, when passed into law, is expected to,among other things, strengthen legal and policy frameworks for the sustainable management of marine resources.
It would also reform laws to help check illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, a problem that has put Ghana in a bad light internationally.
A consultative meeting between stakeholders and the Parliamentary Select Committee on Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs was, therefore,held on Thursday to validate the revised Fisheries Bill.
