Several fishermen have been arrested on the Volta Lake. They were caught using fishing gear that was not registered or approved by authorities.
The arrests happened during a coordinated operation. The Fisheries Commission worked with the Marine Police to enforce fishing laws.
This operation aimed to stop illegal fishing practices. These practices can harm fish populations and the environment.
The use of unregistered gear is against fishing regulations in Ghana.
Officials stated that the action is part of ongoing efforts to ensure sustainable fishing.
The arrested fishermen are expected to face charges related to violating fishing laws.
