The Marine Police Unit has arrested fishermen along the coast of the Western Region. The arrests were made for engaging in illegal fishing activities.
Authorities stated that some of the fishermen were using methods that are not allowed. These practices harm fish populations and the ocean.
The operation is part of a larger plan to stop bad fishing habits. This is being done to make sure fishing can continue for a long time.
The exact number of fishermen arrested was not immediately specified. The police did not name the specific banned methods used in this instance.
Further investigations are expected to follow these arrests. The police aim to ensure compliance with fishing laws.
The Western Region is home to many fishing communities. Sustainable practices are important for their livelihood and the health of the ocean.
The authorities are committed to protecting Ghana's marine resources through such enforcement actions.
