Graphic Online BY: Zadok Kwame Gyesi 30.5k Shares 705 A non-governmental organisation (NGO) with focus on fisheries resources, environmental and coastal management, Hen Mpoano, has called on the government to urgently pay more attention to the survival of clam fisheries in the country. Clam are a kind of shellfish which can be eaten. An example is oysters. The Director of the NGO, Mr Kofi Agbogah, who made the call, said clam fisheries alone raked in about $4 million a year, and that the sector employed more than 2,000 people in the country. He expressed the worry that in spite of the critical contribution of clam fisheries to the country’s food security and economy in general, the government, over the years, had not paid any attention to the sector.
