The Jomoro Blue Water Guards, a pioneering initiative to protect Ghana's water bodies from the devastating effects of illegal mining, has been deployed in the Western Region with 105 personnel.

The guards were trained under the Blue Water Initiative, a comprehensive program aimed at restoring the health of the country's rivers and other water bodies.

Speaking at a short ceremony held in Jomoro on Friday, June 6, 2025, the Western Regional Director of the Minerals Commission, Francis Anobil Jnr emphasised the importance of the program in safeguarding the country's natural resources.

He called on the chiefs and residents of Jomoro to offer their total support to the guards to succeed.
