Several fishermen are in trouble with the law for fishing illegally in the Volta Region. Authorities carried out an operation to catch those not following the rules.
The arrests are a part of ongoing efforts by the government to protect the country's water resources. This includes the fish that live in these waters.
Officials say that illegal fishing harms the environment and makes it harder for fish populations to recover.
The operation aimed to stop these harmful practices and promote safe and lasting fishing methods.
The fishermen were arrested while engaged in the forbidden activities.
Authorities stated that this action is necessary to ensure the sustainability of fishing for the future.
They hope this will deter others from breaking fishing laws.
Legal actions will follow for those arrested as per the country's fishing regulations.
