Canoe Fishermen in the Western Region (W/R), are threatening to handle issues of trawling activities their own way.

This is because their complaints have not been addressed  in addition to  allegations, the Sector Minister, reportedly stated during a visit to Axim, that the fishermen  have no case.

It will be recalled that on August 12 this year, Canoe Fishermen in the Western Region, joined their colleagues from other parts of the country to  protest  against Industrial Trawling activities  also known as Saiko.

The fishermen, said  the illegal and over-fishing by the Industrial Trawlers, have  led to the fast  depletion of fish stocks in Ghana’s  waters and this is affecting their business.
