The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking to partner Ghana to strengthen the locals fisheries sector.
The USAID through the Sustainable Fisheries Management Practices (SFMP), the University of Rhode Island has already partnered the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development and the Fisheries Commission to strengthen data-driven decision-making and improve the fisheries sector regulatory framework.
That’s not all, they have also embarked on a sensitization drive for the adoption of responsible fishing practices to facilitate rebuilding Ghana’s marine fish stocks, and ensure viable livelihoods for fisherfolk.
In addition, the USAID project through the SFMP also facilitated Ghana’s first-ever one-month closed season for the small-scale marine canoe sector in 2019 to help rebuild depleted species and launched a Canoe Identification Card system to better regulate the number of canoes active in the sector.
