Days after tons of dead fishes and Dolphins washed ashore OSU in the Greater Accra Region and Upper Axim and Bewire in the Nzema East Municipality of the Western Region, the responsible authorities are yet to release a Conclusive Comprehensive Report on what actually caused the death of the fishes.

In the meantime, Vice Chancellor of the Regional Maritime University, Professor Elvis Nyarko says he suspects the fishes may have died out of suffocation, due to lack of Oxygen, and not necessarily through poisoning.

Speaking to GBCNEWS, he said this is in line with the University of Ghana’s report which points to low oxygen concentration within the water culture.

Professor Nyarko said it is time to invest in marine research, capacity building and constant monitoring of the country’s coastline to avert any such pollution.
